2:30 am
many more of your worldwide headlines are coming your way at the top of the hour good to see. the same wrong rowles just don't call. me. yet to shape our lives just because to educate and in detroit equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground.
2:31 am
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
2:32 am
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 in to a device to know if it overhears powell language from your children scan internet use as 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 and not. on what you say but
2:33 am
on how you say it yes the company claims that its 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 abyss and start watching wall. street it looks like. it's what you see. as the plot of. the day like you that i got. with that we. think.
2:34 am
it's so. welcome everyone watching the harks i am tired robot and. it's have are you ready for i parent. now i would be even not a robot like after a night out. i think the idea of a good am i a good actor or a bad actor well i know now my theatre school teachers would probably have to think about that but the 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 breath and plate please most people who know me still think of a good birth and. they've asked me where they. look at least like winograd that is ludicrous i mean so basically so you get the idea is that the global risk essential it helps develop like 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
2:35 am
a ten minute interview that can even be conducted over the phone and then their you know 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 tangible kind of point playing and all that well beyond schuller a professor at the university of augsburg in germany was a leader in the field of ai boys 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 with us should themselves be seeing. that sort of thing i mean when you look at a polygraph test there's a reason it isn't allowed in court because even though it measures heartbeat in your browser you can't do that you can't do that with someone's voice i think
2:36 am
what's interesting is what facebook they recently filed a patent called techniques for a motion detection and content delivery and essentially what they do. best that they have a patent that would use your computer or the phones in your camera to monitor your emotional state when looking at videos and then use your emotional reaction to serve you ads correctly which is very useful for anyone who as like wrestling. crabmeat fast and they're going to think about about every. bar. but the machine is going to be like no she hates. this all the time where you know all the person that you know that you may have met one pops up in your friends or just like the same thing where you don't know how they got there but it's the same visa so google also is pushing their ideas centrally be like a smart home machine that would scan everything so toys on the ground everything
2:37 am
where it is where it's placed and then you would be able to sort of tell you you're in a reaction that could make you more efficient your interaction with your house. 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 if they can and it's all done and i did watch them every statue and that's the thing and i think going through that it was done out of this i do you the you know it's your ball and terry tearing for like that's the kind of the surveillance state works that it's all where you want your eye at home you know you want this because it makes you more productive it. we wanted me to 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
2:38 am
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 seris despite routes that date 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
2:39 am
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 handed to them 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 last thought was literally i'm going to be there with balloons and i'm going to and i got to ask you 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. you know one trump shows up with a rally or you know might be taser but kelly. you know one of the big
2:40 am
agenda items were looking for him in 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 tariffs 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 trickle 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
2:41 am
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 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 in the microns you know it here is a great deal we were able to come to 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 or if they cave in to what trump wants we're going have 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
2:42 am
a lot of people. and it's going to be interesting to see which comes out on top. what part 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 his mindset there and how he was acting as i kind of want to see what his my how is attitude is you can kind of read that and kind of knowing him and studying 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 mine willing to make. going to continue this fight and. have. a war with
2:43 am
russia. here right now or. 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 a 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 want to 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
2:44 am
leaders and the backroom conversations or what probably scare me the most the necessarily what we're going to see him for the cameras point scott immelt use news of using who is the host of obviously thank you so much for coming on as a player when you think you have a right as we're going to break our watches over get 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 then some very brilliant scientists may may have just figured out a way to save the be so stay tuned to watch the whole a lot of this. look.
2:45 am
with me when you fight your consent to public will. when the really close isn't protect themselves. or the flames larry you're right it's certainly the one. thing we can all middle of the roots to. do. by nine hundred seventeen the united states bureau of mines and research division
2:46 am
of the chemical warfare service have begun to develop a new kind of tear gas coal chloro a seato sea known which would be easier to use stateside an urban area c. 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 when white mobs attacked their black neighbors for a week burning down their homes the police mostly veterans of world war two 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
2:47 am
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 diaper children running from tear gas grenades claim the front page of papers across the country and screens across cable news want us 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 and corporate cast bryan bakker thanks for joining us frank my pleasure brian the one thing i want to store with the most of you is disappeared remember standing is what makes the use of we're used to seeing tear gas used but what makes the use of it so conference controversial and why it is
2:48 am
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 of a lesser toxicity still very bad you feel like you're not breathing you feel like you 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 invasionary.
2:49 am
and you have boredom border customs officials and military units lobbying tear gas see as good as 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 to us just don't come here of us live and we'll do this before you can get for it and 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 gyptian military a lot of the same tear gas see as gas into their truck thirty seven of them died
2:50 am
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 and it'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 israel 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 ban its years on the battlefield with specifications but not on main street and the thing about it is that tear gas is an indiscriminate. weapon think about it you lob
2:51 am
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 us 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 character that 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
2:52 am
certain situations i question what happened at the border if that was an either or it's like there's a bunch of wire and stuff that oh 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 it does not have that right if 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
2:53 am
trump administration staging its own demonstration in a very very predictable way you know it's very interesting so i think it's almost one of those news stories words like. we were talking earlier about it where you look at it 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 the news media you also got the shots of look at these people running in the hall when 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 an 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
2:54 am
match nations either between the liberal establishment or the trump administration a white house types 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 or 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 let's have an orderly process they're like we're going to stop you we're going to repression and then a few people a jolt off start running towards the border and thus the stage is set and it works for everybody whatever everybody you know motivations are you can use that depends on the angle. do you do you think that. like this is so disorganized and one of 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
2:55 am
in the u.s. m.s.m. aggression or it's. a part of the delay comes from the system being so bad but how do you think what do you think our foreign policy in the area is hasta to do with our inability or purposely being like we're making it impossible for a very specific reason excellent question these were one door ins they were not nicaraguans for the most part they weren't watermelons 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 u.s. 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 s as
2:56 am
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 on desperate people with a predictable response from the use of you know it's really surprising isn't a you know we're told 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 of occupy wall street in ferguson that were dropping tear gas and things like. refugees and. treating them worse than we would
2:57 am
treat enemy combatants yes brian i got to say thank you so much for my beloved always a pleasure of existing 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 well scientists around the world to found one simple solution for two big farming problems the crease in being a 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
2:58 am
a diversity of pollinators and much fewer pastime links up time is the simple old timey ways of the both and can bring back nature lost to technology and i hope so because it's like nothing. more than the fact the works and see unlike the honey bee die because of the farmers not 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 eggplant over sheens or pumpkins they were making them grow five hundred six hundred percent more like you said you have so on point if you sometimes there's old ways that already solve this problem and you can just open up the glorious security guard like victory gardens go have a very good idea all right everybody that is there show prove that they remember abroad in this world we are no longer told we love the soil tell you all i love you i am tired robot on top of the wall of people. unwatchable faux never great day and
2:59 am
night everybody. when a loved one is murder it's natural to seek the death penalty for the murderer i would prefer an it be to limit death penalty just because i think that's the fair thing the right thing research shows that for every nine executions one convict is found innocent the idea that we were executing innocent people was terrifying news just no really hasn't and that we're even many of the times families want the death penalty to be abolished the reason we have to keep the death penalty here is because that's what murder victims' families what that's going to give them peace it's going to give them justice and we come in and say. not quite enough we've been
3:00 am
through this this isn't the way. sex guys are financial survival. when customers go by you're disappointed. in elf well reduce and lower. that's undercutting but what's good for market is not good for the global economy. after crossing the russian border we had visual contact with the russian border service vessels by consciously ignored their commands to stop i was aware that the action of the ukrainian vessels in the car straits. releases the testimony of lieutenant commander of one of the ukrainian ships detained in the coach straight after it accused of masterminding a provocation three ukrainian ships were fired upon and detained by russia which says they illegally entered.
