on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest in the world of politics school business i'm showbusiness i'll see you then. greetings and salutation we are all under surveillance hawk watchers make no mistake about it from our smartphones to our alexa's and series we are being watched monitored categorized and predicted by both governments and the private tech companies. and as our dependence on technologies latest new wizardry and gadgetry grows so does the surveillance for some the surveillance of us is all about the profits the bottom line that's the game plan behind recent google and facebook patents in fact google was looking to not only develop technology that

would essentially data mining you in your home for better marketing services but it also wants to help you raise your children yes the atlantic reports that another google patent proposes a smart home system that would help or run the household using sensors and cameras to restrict kids' behavior parents could program into but a device to know if it overhears powell language from your children scan internet uses premature objectional cut or objectionable content or use occupancy sensors to determine if certain areas of the house are being accessed while they're gone for example a liquor cabinet welcome ladies and gentlemen to the fun fabulous world of the i parent but it's not just all about big brother for fun and profit it's also big brother for future citizenship and employment the intercept is reporting that a c. global risk a startup for a startup founded in two thousand and sixteen claims to be able to determine your level of risk as an employee or an asylum seeker based not on what you say but on

how you say it yes the company claims that it's remote risk assessment technology has the ability to determine if you're a good actor or a bad actor by simply measuring the characteristics of your voice after answering ten minutes of yes and no questions. so before we give up our parenting skills and our future employment and citizenship to the gods of modern technology i think we'd better take a step back from the surveillance the bits and start watching law. this would be the last to leave the body. but they like you like i got. with that we. would. be.

welcome aboard the watching the harks i am tired robot and. you're ready for i parent. now i wouldn't even let a robot look after my dad. i think the idea of a go to my a good actor or a bad actor and well i know my theatre school teachers would probably a few things say about that but the i think there is something dangerous to be said i think when we get like two over reliance on technology right well the idea that you could answer ten questions and they know whether you're a good person or a bad plate players most people who know me still think of a good birth. they've asked me way more than. ludicrous that is ludicrous i mean so basically so you get the idea is that the global risk essential it helps develop you know you come in they say are we going to develop these automated yes and no interview questions applicants then answer the questions

in their native language as i said during a ten minute interview that can even be conducted over the phone and then there is no risk assessment algorithm and all that measures the characteristics of their voice and makes in the valuation report that scores each of the individuals from the spectrum to the risk to super duper high risk. now if you ask other other people in the field if this is like you know terrible compare riyad point playing ai and all the while be your i'm sure a professor at the university of augsburg in germany who is a leader in the field of ai voice and speech told the intercept from an ethical point of view it's very dubious and shady to give the impression that recognizing deception from only the boys can be done with any accuracy anyone who says they can do this to us should themselves be seeing. that sort of a thing i mean when you look at a polygraph test there's a reason it there's an elaborate court because even though it measures heart beat

in your brad you can't do that you can't do that with someone's voice i think what's interesting is what face they recently filed a patent called techniques for a motion detection and content delivery and essentially what they do forbes reported best that they have of this patent that would use your computer or the phones in your camera to monitor your emotional state when looking at video. and then use that your emotional reactions to serve you ads correctly which is the very useful for anyone who has like resting to grab me if they ask and they're going to think i'm bad about every and i mean like i'm sitting in a bar. but the machine is going to be like no she hates that we see this all the time where you know all the sudden. you know that you may have met one suddenly pops up in your friends or just remember you like the same thing where you don't know how they got there but it's a savy thing so google also especially their ideas be like a smart home machine that would scan everything so toys on the ground everything

where it is where it's placed and then you would be able to sort of tell you your interactions it could make you more efficient your interaction with your housemates or your kid again it's like i parent i feel like when. i do what i did when i was i feel bad putting a camera on my dogs like i was invading their privacy and it's all done and i watch them every second that's something i feel like going through that out of this. if you're voluntarily cheering for like that you're kind of the surveillance state works that it's over you want your i home you know you want because it makes you more productive it. we want to meet him delivers them for you and that's like kind of the right that we asked for like facebook we signed up for. posing reporters. this is not a foreign policy money and desperation is hanging in the air hockey watchers like

axe body spray and a high school locker room yes once again the annual g twenty summit is upon us this time taking place in the famed capital of argentina when a serious despite routes that day back to one thousand nine hundred ninety nine would finance ministers and central bank governors from the g seven saw the need for a bigger more inclusive body with broader representation in order to tackle the world's financial challenges the group of twenty meetings really came to be the political and financial event they are today in the wake of the global financial crisis of two thousand and eight said today with world leaders and bankers from china russia the united states germany and many many more all descending on argentina this week all eyes will be on the leader summit which kicks off this friday november thirtieth including the eyes of our own scott of r.t. america's news views and hughes who will be on the ground when osiris for the event and she joins us now. with a hearty like as it's all my favorite people together are the ones that have kept

me out for late at night and with great hair and wrinkles i wish i could send them each a bill and i might just hand it to him when i woke up to say because of you i have this listen it's going to be an interesting week it's going to be exciting and make no mistake everybody is waiting for one thing to happen and that's donald trump they want to see trump right now trump is in a rally doing in mississippi they want to see that same trump person are they going to get trump or highly disciplined and. kelly might taser him in the background from either one i think both sides are cheering probably actually more for the. rally trump and you get the front row seat to the absolutely i'm going to be there with balloons and i'm going to and i got to know what what is the big agenda items for the g. twenty this week you know what are we looking for what do we want to show you want trump shows up with a rally or you know might be taser but kelly. as. you know one of the big

agenda items will convert him with these other world leaders to where you decide upon what i would like to tell you those big agenda items i know what i think they're going to be but officially there are no statements coming out of anyone right now which means it's either a still being worked out or like trump likes to do because everything leaks out whether we're talking about how many scoops of ice cream the man has it's actually going to be it's not completely confirmed who he's talking to but the big issue trump is obviously already on the warpath he just came out and said that he has no problem with the two hundred billion dollars in tariff that he's going to impose on china he still forging ahead on that one so obviously that is going to be the big discussion china is the other card right now trying to figure out because obviously they're conway's trickled down to everyone else's it's going to be the meetings with the various leaders and if they hold joint press conferences following those meetings to tell us what happened in the meetings just to be nice do you think that

there's any chance as you said we've been going through you know trade wars that ever since trump took office china has been an aside it's one way or the out there so do you think that there's any chance that we could see a cease fire or a no they all raise the button maybe trump brings a reset button well i believe in unicorns santa claus and cupcakes for all i know so let's think realistically here just like you know a lot of this chaos all this confusion actually helps politicians it does kind of help and you know what you might surprise us all and then my crime scene here is a great deal we were able to come to it the problem is with this china cannot win china is going to lose in this fight in the fact that either they're going to continue to see these tariffs come on or the. nothing they cave in to what trump wants what are going to higher prices china is coming at this going ok but they do hold the ultimate trump card they hold the u.s. debt of twenty twenty trillion dollars so that's ultimately do they play that card with them like you know what it's going to be it's

a lot of people. and it's going to be interesting to see which comes out on top. you're going to. be broadcasting from beautiful. part of the summit are you most looking forward to covering. part of it do you want to sink your journalistic teeth into. the reaction right now we've got a lot of issues going on ukraine and russia and also what's going on in saudi arabia i actually want to see i don't like to say that i think. i like to actually i could tell in paris something with obviously wrong with singing with his mindset there and how he was acting as i don't want to see what his my how is attitude is you can kind of read that and kind of see knowing him and studied him for as long as unfortunately or fortunately that i have i can kind of need to i mean you. kind of see where he's going what is willing to make. going to continue this fight and

it's. also kind of. have. a war with russia. here right now. let's start taking it back a notch because that's what's better for the world for his own country it's interesting too because. the climate change report to the kind of blew everyone out of the water that was especially coming out of the interesting. listen i love the climate change i think we definitely talk about our planet but we're also talking you know if i find a politician say climate change to distract from an economy ok. so let's go back talking about the climate and so i am all for addressing climate change but on my three priorities that that's the third because every time they come out from that they take up an entire news conference or they take up an entire conversation and i want to know about jobs and i when know if our children are going to war those are my two priorities that i want to see coming out of the conversations with this many

leaders and the backroom conversations or what probably scared me the most the necessarily what we're going to see him for the cameras point scott in no use news views and who's the host of obviously thank you so much for coming and he's a player thank you ride as we're going to break our watches don't forget to let us know what you think of the topics we've covered in facebook and twitter and your poll shows that are tea dot com coming up the answer coalition is brian becker joins us to discuss teargassed borders and protests and some very brilliant scientists may may have just figured out a way to be so stay tuned watching the whole a lot in this. world .

are central banks prepared to lead the credit market collapse are they going to do for now with the recent rate rises there's room for q.e. for they would come in and they would revert to reverse q quantitative tightening and they'll engineer another mark around. them. and one moment i thank you. it's ended up doing one thing when there's a real body. that someone should have been there.

with and i don't want that for any case it certainly sounds like i knew she needed to know that yeah she came because he knew that he had to keep. going to be made to move on to follow the love you know enough but i'm sure before i don't know. what holds you should. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure. you somehow want to be rich. but you want to be this is what the for the three of the more people. interested always in the water. there should.

by nine hundred seventeen the united states bureau of mines and research division of the chemical warfare service have begun to develop a new kind of tear gas coal chloro seato pheno which would be easier to use stateside and urban areas see in the two years following the armistice that ended world war one the us had over twenty nine major riots and strikes like the red summer riots in chicago that took the lives of over thirty people and injured over four five hundred one white mobs attack their black neighbors for a week burning down their homes the police mostly veterans of world war two. i decided at that time that they would be more comfortable using tear gas than billy clubs on their neighbors and in one nine hundred twenty one william seibert chief of the us chemical weapons service had decided that tear gas could be used for what they called mob control stating quote it is not believe that any mob will continue

its operations once it begins to weep so that it cannot see so here we are a century later seriously still having the same conversation and discussion about the use of tear gas on civilians that's because we've seen it front and center in ferguson atlanta chicago occupy wall street and now at the u.s. border with mexico over the weekend border patrol agents allege that members of the refugee caravan from honduras were throwing rocks over the border at their cars and a number of aggressive men were threatening the safety of agents but as images of shoeless diapered children running from tear gas grenades claim the front page of papers across the country and screens across cable news want to wonder where the indignation and revulsion was when tear gas was used on countless innocent civilians right here in the us during occupy wall street and black lives matter helping us understand more about the politics of tear gas is the national court made up of the answer coalition of. protest brian becker thanks for joining us right my pleasure brian the one thing i want to store with the most of you is it's

just so people remember standing is what makes the use of we're used to seeing to use but what makes the use of it so conference controversial and why it is seeing you cause the kind of you almost get a horrible reaction every time to see this stuff you just you know if you've experienced here yes you will you'll know why there's tear gas and there's tear gas the c.s. gas that was used on this migrant caravan that's banned from use in battlefield situations based on the one nine hundred ninety three chemical weapons convention the tear gas that's routinely used in the united states is a. loesser toxicity still very bad you feel like you're not breathing you feel like you're gagin you feel like you might die in the case of c.s. gas which was used at the summit in quebec in two thousand and one which i was present at the c.s. gas makes you really feel that death is imminent so you have children here young

toddlers their moms other people clearly civilians not in invasionary force and you have boredom border customs officials and military units lobbying tear gas see as gas the most toxic gas over an international border why because they wanted to it wasn't absolutely necessary it was a weapon of choice so the question really will be why did they want this image because the image was completely predictable i believe the trump administration and border patrol actually wanted exactly the images that we see and that the world is revolted by seen they wanted it because they're sending a message. just don't come here that a lot of and well dan asked before i even get or you can call these less than lethal weapons well not for children not for adults in two thousand and thirteen

following the coup that overthrew the morsi government in egypt there was a truckload of muslim brotherhood prisoners going to court the egyptian military a lot of the same tear gas see as gas into their truck thirty seven of them died burned to death as fixated their families could not recognize them that's the level of toxicity of that this chemical weapon actually has. yeah you know what's really terrifying about at least for me and doing research on it is that it essentially works by going to our pain receptors it's making your brain believe that you are being ripped apart like you said and as you said it's children it woks you can't control it it's just a big aerosol the use of it isn't a uniquely us problem though obviously because we've recently we've seen as real use drones to drop tear gas on palestinian protesters just this past week in france we saw authorities use tear gas on protesters in the streets of paris and while it may be sort of this universally accepted method of crowd dispersal how can the

world bandits years on the battlefield with specifications but not on main street and the thing about it is the tear gas is an indiscriminate weapon think about it you lump tear gas there was a demonstration where aronian protesters at lafayette park in the mid mid one nine hundred seventy s. the shah was being greeted by jimmy carter carter said to the shah you are an island of stability in a sea of turmoil and at that moment the iranian protesters only unfurled their banners tear gas was lobbed at them in lafayette park the tear gas came back because the wind changes it's an indiscriminate weapon so you had the shah of iran crying from tear gas in jimmy carter well that happens to friendly soldiers it happens to civilians it happens to anybody it's an indiscriminate weapon because it cannot be controlled thus it it's a it's a violation of international law you cannot use weapons that are indiscriminate in character they can't distinguish between a combatant and

a civilian so there's an inherent foundational problem with tear gas there are better alternatives i mean i understand that there is you know if you have a large crowd the let's sit down and chat about it doesn't work obviously in certain situations i question what happened at the border if that was needed either it's like there's a bunch of wire and stuff so there's a bunch of wire there's a lot of there's a lot of troops you know what. the what the u.s. government could have done is cooperated with the mexican government to create facilities so that people could come and get a decent meal because these people have been walking away from for weeks i are my friends have been with them walking with them they had no food they had no water intermittently because of the sympathy of strangers or the human rights commission in mexico people would bring them things but if the u.s. government had a humane approach it said look we're going to process your asylum claim because you have that legal right unlike the trump administration that says it has the right to overturn existing laws on immigration including asylum does not have that right and

the u.s. government had set up those kind of facilities you would have had migrants coming them saying yes i'm going to have a cup of coffee i'm going to a hot meal we're going to be processed none of this was necessary this was the trump administration staging its own demonstration in a very very predictable way you know it's very interesting it's almost one of those news stories words like you look at it and we were talking earlier about it where you look at it and it's like everybody you know very cynical world everybody got the images they want to get out of this news story you know trump and them got their work tough on these guys will not let them cross their borders if you seriously. especially the corporate left and that news media you also got the shots of look at these people running and all but one no one really did the thing that you're talking about no one took the time to say hey these people are coming these people are coming should be there waiting for a europe is taken care of refugees we all know how to take care of one g.'s europe had one point six million refugees coming all at once yes this was

a very manageable problem now i have to say i think the individuals who were on the caribbean i don't think that they're well informed politically about all of the match nations either between the liberal establishment or the trump administration a white house that i think these are people who have just come thousands of miles they're desperate they're desperate because back home. they're getting killed if they don't they can't feed their kids and they see the united states they're at the border it's almost there and then a line of police instead of as i was suggesting welcoming them and say let's sit down would have an orderly process there like we're going to stop you we're going to repression and then a few people start running towards the border and thus the stages. and it works for everybody whatever everybody you know motivations are you can depends on the angle . do you do you think. like this is so disorganized and one of the things one woman at syracuse university. did

a study and they said from two thousand one to two thousand and eighteen about one point three million migrants from honduras guatemala and salvador have open cases in the u.s. immigration courts. and part of the delay comes from the system being so bad but how do you think what do you what do you think our foreign policy in these areas has to do with our inability or purposely we're making it impossible for a very specific reason. excellent question these were hundred or ins they were not nicaraguans for the most part they weren't what amounts to for the most part they weren't salvadorans why are they coming from honduras you have a right wing government in wonderous that's very friendly in fact of the trump administration it let them gather at let them go now that government is managing a situation which is impossible for large numbers of people in hundreds to live partly as a consequence of the political chaos caused by a us backed military coup d'etat in two thousand and nine where you had barack

obama and specifically hillary clinton in there supporting the overthrow the military overthrow of a democratically elected government one hundred us as a consequence is bleeding its democracy is broken its people's aspirations unmet the people are moving nobody really wants to move and walk thousands of miles away from your home you do that because you're desperate they're desperate because of what's happened economically but also because of u.s. foreign policy that targeted their government for overthrow so you know what if the u.s. stop acting like this towards other countries in central america if it actually started acting like a good neighbor guess what there would be a big slowdown in people coming in making this long track this is a matter of a bad foreign policy imposed and desperate people with a predictable response from the use of you know it's really surprising isn't a you know we're told we're nation that was built by refugees protest you know so

it's incredible to me that we're still treating protests like this at the border or that we've seen over the last few years the bucket part of wall street in ferguson that we're dropping tear gas and things like. refugees in protest of treating them worse than we would treat enemy combatants yes brian i got to say thank you so much for my beloved always a pleasure having you. imagine being able to grow food without dangerous pesticides that are killing off our much needed being population i know it seems crazy but we'll find. just around the world to found one simple solution for two big farming problems the crease and the population and how to increase profit margins for farmers so the international center for agricultural research research in dry areas is presented a study in an upcoming un conference that will show a way to increase production for farmers at a very small cost in addition it could help the reinvigorate that the population see the idea is to plant flowering crops like local wild flowers oil season spices and one out of every four cultivation strips and some flowers around the outside to

shield cost crops from the wind so the solution requires no special equipment and only cheap seeds and crops grown this way are far more abundant with a diversity of pollinators and much fewer pastime except i was simple old timey ways of the best and can bring back nature lost to technology and i hope so because it's like nothing nothing breaks my heart more than the fact the words and see unlike the honey bee die because i'm a farmer isn't making enough food to be able to grow especially in local sort of macrobiotic areas where you're eating what's grown there i mean they show they can do things like you know eggplants overseeing this or pumpkins they were making them grow five hundred six hundred percent more like you said you have so one point if you sometimes there's old ways that already solve this problem with you can just open up as well as security guard who has like victory gardens go you have a very good idea all right everybody that is there so people they remember abroad

in this world we are no longer told we are loved enough so i tell you all i love you i am i robot on top of the wall and keep on watching those locks never great day and night everybody. what is the next step for the saga known as briggs it also is a stage being said to finally end the syrian conflict and why is m i six scrambling to start trouble.

with. the commander of the seas to ukrainian navy vessel says he didn't liberate sneak north russia's orders not to enter in the head straight during a crash that board russia and ukraine claims to conflict. the incidents led to tell you imagine c sections of the un security council where russia was accused of being an aggressive. russian military experts say toxic substances we used in a recent assault on the.
