you have a lot of due diligence in the arts and you look very very carefully at the people who are offering sponsorship. you know exactly affluent time bankers made the renesas possible for those visiting the museums or working outside them the issue of so-called art washing is a tough call this scrutiny over ethical donations couldn't come at a worse time for cash strapped british arts institutions which have had their funding slashed in recent years but there are those that say that in order for the arts to prosper galleries simply can't afford to be picky. thanks for choosing r c international we're back in thirty minutes with the headlines. the ripping up of the mahler investigation may have cleared the american president

of treason and collusion but it has not got rid of critics determination to get rid of him is the american system capable of anything but settling ideological scores. readings and salutation. there's no business like the war business like no business i know watchers sitting at the top of the business of wars without a doubt the united states of america somehow in our short history has twisted our nation's core principles of independence and liberty into a very bizarre corporate creature running scared on capitalism gone wild with an undying thirst for a very bloody pax americana all around the globe or nothing sums up that business

better than this latest tidbit out of the trumpet ministration defense one is now reporting that amy in its latest draft budget the troubled ministration has proposed or rather revived an old loan program concept that according to a state department official would have the administration seeking up to eight billion dollars to offer more flexible loans that according to the budget over will make u.s. defense equipment a more competitive and more affordable option for partner countries. eight billion dollars flexible loans and just so we are clear that's that's eight billion in u.s. tax dollars tax dollars that would be used under this program to give foreign countries like say saudi. jordan or israel our money to buy our own weapons at a flexible interest rate decided by our good friends at the state department the same state department folks who are behind such it says the liberation of libya the accident gratian of isis and these civil war in ukraine. colby goodman an expert at

the forum on arms trade told the post one my general concern is this could lead to more loan deep balls and taxpayers would end up footing the bill but hey why worry about those things after all i mean to a majority of our officials on capitol hill the pentagon inside the white house u.s. taxpayers are nothing more than walking a cannon fodder. welcome to the united states big bank of arms deals let's start watching the hawks. get the. real deal. like you that i got. with. the.

welcomer on the watching the hard. into a lot less wow eight billion dollars is what they're trying to offer up these folks and potential loans and all of this would lead to you know flexible interest rates and all that fun exciting stuff nobody is ever there's no business that's ever been hurt by the idea of giving low priced loans to people who may or may not be able to actually find them oh well. all of this is kind of coming in the military as the united states military is kind of a new push there pivot as we as we there's as there are so fond of saying oh wait. from there now pivoting away from designing all their bases and ideas around terrorism to no pushing you know military to targeting countries that are you know purchasing military material from russia and china because it's coming from the they're moving from fighting terrorism to about countering major superpowers and

what the pentagon is calling it near pure adversaries near pier now appear near here they're almost there pure adjacent histories and that's why we need to get these people to not buy weapons from russia or china but from so they're adversaries but we should be selling them stuff not anybody else exists and really make any sense that's unsavory incredibly smart and there's sort of a long history of this u.s. government trying to do these things where oh we'll give you a great deal on. you know on missiles and well financed you. never really work so they did it back in the eighty's a bunch of stuff you know kind of loan programs failed due to. due to missed payments i know a shocker there was another effort to create a similar program under bill clinton but that fell apart because congress pushed a lot about the loan terms be set on civilian terms and of course governments don't

want to have to pay on loans like the rest of us so. a lot of that went to the big the moment the beside of the movie will make the interest rates like the normal everyday citizen who is trying to get interest rates are trying to get that know oh . it's incredible i mean. and the other thing we have to understand too is that we already have a kind of weird burning of this loan program to give countries loans so that where they can buy weapons from. our own money. what they call the ground to program actually not loans but grants that is grant money to the foreign military financing or grant program. currently it's the largest recipient of the supercop of the f.m.s. assistance israel which is fifty one percent of the program's funds that was in two thousand and eight egypt and jordan follow as the next two to align for basically getting the most of these f.m.'s gramps out of the us with basically again u.s.

taxpayers giving them money so they can buy hardware from the united states government well or lockheed martin yeah he's going to attack sorry i think it's from the government there's a private company making lots of lots of money so yeah that's kind of how that works but it is a lot of money in times when we keep saying we don't have the money and that we should be the world's policemen and we shouldn't be providing all this and at the same time the top administration asserting they're making this big play of the reviewers from the campaign trail. about how we shouldn't be subsidizing other people's defense we shouldn't be paying for this defense we shouldn't pay for nato nobody is paying their fair share so not only is no one paying their fair share but now the trump administration and this government has decided that what they want is to give give more of those people who weren't paying their fair share well just a loan on the money but will probably never get it back and who knows what could happen and then something like what happens if a country says you know why i know that you loan me like you know

a billion dollars to buy these weapons systems like campaign. what do you do when you bomb them like you know what is the you can't son why do you know rocks go in moose over to collect you know what you're going to do. ridiculous and just a good idea of life where these numbers ultimately add up to the current grant program crosses about five point four billion dollars in taxpayer dollars the suggested loan program would add eight on top of which would mean it would basically put like the trumpet recession for financing arm purchases around the world with our tax dollars would actually put them into an about thirteen point four billion dollars of our own money to do this but we don't have money for roads . machine learning is when a man a computer is able to learn to perform tasks without explicitly being programmed to do so it's also used to create better accuracy data processing and to create self learning algorithms so machines of all sorts can do their particular job better but

what happens when the machines are learning how to kill human beings and more efficiently and the government doesn't say the public doesn't want the public to have a say well last year it was discovered the tech giant google was a bit of a pickle by google employees discover they were developing artificial intelligence for analyzing drone footage in late two thousand and seventeen eric schmidt of google told the panel at the new american security it artificial intelligence global security summit that quote there's a general concern in the tech community of somehow the military industrial complex using their stuff to pay you to kill people incorrectly if you will i don't know how to say it any other way. well now the intercept has learned that while google insiders were desperately trying to cover of google's dealings with the military the pentagon has their back on december eighteenth of twenty eighteen the u.s. department of defense is acting chief management officer good at that google's project maven quote is exempt from disclosure under exemption for the freedom of information act steven aftergood director of the federation of american scientists

project on government secrecy told the intercept in a way it is the path of least resistance that enables the agency to avoid time consuming expensive and detailed review of records so hot water should we be making it easier for government agencies to experiment with death without oversight or is it time to rethink just how much google knows about our national security. this is just leaves a bad taste in my mouth like ok. amazingly google. drone over there nobody nobody. will ever whatsoever it's with blows my mind i mean what is the project even the name sounds creepy yeah it says it was original project maven which i had to do with like i said are sort of processing drone footage of what they're trying to addle finding a machine learning that would go over all this data for them so the d.o.j. there was a deal memo dated april twenty sixth twenty seventeen announced project maven and

its goals what they stated was a department of defense must integrate artificial intelligence and machine learning more effectively across operation so the idea is that they want more they should have more they should do more of the. you know. sorry is that they're going to do more of this artificial intelligence artificial intelligence machine learning are different so we're talking about two different things and you necessarily say not which is what's funny is that even even in the d.o.d.'s own stuff they don't even clarify that they do. it makes sort of interchange the two phrases and they're not the same so actually the whole thing about well this is part of a project for artificial intelligence and machine learning but there's a reason they're. talking earlier. defense department acting chief management officer. went on to clarify the

reasoning of all this stating that information about the project may have been individually or would enable an adversary to identify capabilities and vulnerabilities in the department's approach to artificial intelligence development and implementation or provide an adversary with the information necessary to disrupt destroyed or damaged technology military operations. or the lives of personnel. yeah because it might we're going to brag about it to everywhere about how we're going to be the top of the law and all of this technology and data collection technology of course this is you know less than a decade after the entire u.s. government said it never was collecting anything now agree that you're collecting things but then find a way to sort of. process them and then brag about how you're working with google and brag about how you're doing all of this great to beat everyone else but not

want to talk about it to the people who are paying for it the people who are actually on the ground to the american people have a right to know what money is being spent on what are you putting and the thing is if you're just going to keep making like putting money and hand over fist and getting private industry involved in the making of it it's it's it's murder attack yeah that's all it is you're looking at drawing footage who could figure out what a bomb next that is what you're trying to do to make it so it isn't a person's fault it isn't a general's fault it isn't the soldiers fault the machine told us to do it so we can't be responsible somehow i don't feel like wars will end because we said oops the machine did a better it's passing the buck. yeah hires twenty first century flavor grow up the drone said it was ok to blow up this village. it's absolutely ridiculous what people are fighting well obviously the interceptor the reason this came up is because the intercept has been sort of pushing to get four requests from them about what they're doing and they keep being denied and that's why they're still sort of

being denied the news story but their deputy counsel kate murray actually contends that they will keep fighting and he said project maven is undeniably of interest to the public we are exploring all options to gain access to the information about the program that under fire can and should be disclosed so of lou we get the truth i mean that's the thing you can't just spend billions of dollars you can't just do this without oversight but it's not we don't work like that here and it's you know the days of sort of throwing money hand over fist is clearly over we're in debt we don't have the money for most because we're going to break our bludgers they were going to let us know where you're going to suffer to cover them facebook says of twitter for those that are coming up it's more bad news for some of those los angeles as the city of angels is the one some of those go to weed killer glyphosate fire in melbourne. like to watch.

lists if. perhaps. printed one. join me every thursday on the island so i'm i'm sure and i'll be speaking to us of the world of politics or business i'm show business i'll show you that. actually i just let the survival guide. let's say on the show like that and you're on grease like. thank you for something. that's really well actually very.

in what could be early stages of a big tobacco like downfall our good friends of monsanto just lost another cancer related lawsuit over the safety of their number one we kill around on its main ingredient like say and i los angeles county in southern california home to over ten million people is banned the use of life if they within its borders are to america's natasha has the story. for the time being los angeles county officials are banning the use of roundup after one of its ingredients has been linked to cancer the los angeles county board of supervisors are asking for all departments to halt the use of round up until public health and environmental professionals can determine if it's safe for further use this all comes after a second court ruling finding roundup was a substantial factor in a consumer's not hodgkins lymphoma most recently in san francisco court ruled in

favor of seventy year old edwin hartman's case cardamon reportedly developed the cancer after using the herbicide on his snowmen california property for decades was the lack of sufficient warnings a substantial factor in causing harm to mr johnson answer yes after years. round up on schools as a groundskeeper the payout later reduced to seventy million but it opened the floodgates of some one thousand three hundred lawsuits against bayer but according to one of the attorneys representing hartman the case itself is about months long to failing to warn the public i took took over representative deposition he said to me that there's no evidence across the board that there's any association with cancer that's just nonsense there is a mountain of evidence and this company needs to get straight and be honest with the speech with its customers and say listen there is evidence that is associate with cancer and get let people make a choice about whether or not they use the product scientists associated with the

environmental protection agency found those who were heavily exposed to round up had an astounding forty one percent higher risk of developing not hodgkin's lymphoma this is in stark contrast to a twenty six thousand study that found the weak killer had low toxicity for humans twenty sixteen study is currently under review according to the world health organization in eleven country study found that lifeless state is probably carcinogenic to humans and in twenty seventeen california adam going through state to its list of chemicals known to cause cancer however bayer maintains that month santo is safe to use in los angeles not just sweets are. joining us now to discuss the latest blow to months anto is legal and media and was like all of line of media thank you for joining us thank you want to have you actually here with us instead of just jumping over the screen i am ecstatic thank you for coming out you are going to as i got a we talked a little bit about it earlier today but i got to say lidl is this new this this

latest story and what it is yes by virtue of the frequency of the cases by virtue of the severity but with cigarette in cases in litigation that a company that people are still smoking cigarettes are still there you know we always like to talk about what's the biggest organization is a big ag or a big pharma who are the of the big. and i don't think people realize how enormous monsanto baird and others how these people are in terms of something that affects food and agriculture around the world not everybody smokes but everybody eats yeah and the enormity of this i think is is cannot be overemphasized it's massive it's like every food product every park their spirit leaves it's all over the borders yeah and i think what we've seen over the years you know when i was a kid it was doubt dupont and now it's gone then everybody all kind of like melded

together and it's evolved month prosody poised then you know do you think part of it is that those big companies started becoming bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger and we're just becoming habituated to the idea of this you know you so when when you were a kid when i was a kid we had silent spring rachel carson that's right d.d.t. was the days of agent orange sigler mates there was a time when we all my god cyclometer what to say to a mate so we did know but we reacted i remember one day it was a tuesday everybody went crazy towards gluten because our gluten was somehow rootin tootin gluten and i don't know what it was but everything was gluten free and they didn't know why but they thought maybe it has something to do with with the weight gain so people jump to it life is a round g.m.o. those. what it is whatever that part of the brain is that kicks in we don't have that and maybe that's because of all the global state it turns out

all the difficulties of the alarm centers or the lobby as well as a lawyer i mean this is a company that now has almost ten thousand lawsuits against us about this one thing what is a corporation do as a lawyer what do you what would you share some chats where you normally you would see reorganization of some kind of bankruptcy in the like but look at the way they also bifurcated that's all or legal by foot p. . and they took two different parts of these trials at first when they said let's look at the science is there any causal connection between life as you did your and cancer and they said yes ok reasonable reason really related then the said now let's look at what these companies did to hide that remember this line what do you know and when the no wonder what that's kind of what's going on right now and as this starts and as people hear about this you're going to tell it's really

hit critical mass when you hear the ads on radio have you been injured by a life estate do we cheat i mean how have you been injured you were the hundred pounds injured well the injury you call us right now monsanto operators are standing by when it hits that you know it's hit and then people are going to say wait a bit and then when people say what exactly where where is glyphosate everywhere yeah i mean it's on lawns it's on your face like you said it's it's kind of one of the things that you can't get around but we love cheap apples and we love cheap we like affordable fruits veggies at everywhere around the time so. you know it's interesting too because we talked about the big tobacco because i remember being in the ninety's in high school reading about this and you know you know all these governments basically cities you know states brought yeah massive lawsuits against big tobacco saying look you are you lie you deceived this about this are we going to see that with one side or are they too tired and about lobbying complex in

washington and elsewhere where they're paying out too much too much dollars to texarkana over somebody's going to see you know a similar thing where suddenly the government gets involved and you're seeing state lawsuits against one side or things of that nature whenever you hear or the chance of the plaintiffs trial bar you know people hate lawyers. until the effectuate. the reason why the pinto decided to change the design of its gas tank wasn't because of the kind of heart but because somebody came along and said you know we're going to sue you you know so when when it gets to the point when people start talking about it when and this was always my test when mothers talk about you know recently as in the in the tendon case we're talking about c.t. eason and. the various brain trauma in terms of football is somebody said when mothers decide to tell their kids no so when it gets to the point when mothers and

families look to babies or look to families to make that connection when it becomes part of our collective conversation no lobbying no money is going to change at all and that's what's happening right now but there is this thing of the just explain that i think there is a presumption of safety in food there is this idea that will the government would have done something but look at our own e.p.a. said well it's save that they hear so there's this idea that somebody is looking out for us right not necessarily when that happens plus mothers that it has critical mass because i think what's interesting is you brought up piggybacking off what i had said about you know growing up we you know by that that we you know knew about these that certain things where you took them off the shelves i mean you guys it was right before my generation and sized generation because you guys did something because our parents or grandparents or somebody they stood up and said you know our kids play in this or i'm spraying this on my head. this is you know

whatever and so i think it's like we we would probably be much sicker from d.d.t. and everything else right of me had stopped and so it's shocking to me that we're still fighting that same fight that we have to do that the next iteration of this which i'm looking forward to is the idea of genetically modified organisms you know there are kids. who maybe now never had a molecule of food ever. created in a laboratory and think about this there was no commercial seventy soufan margarine before your time. and i used the for mother nature of a sudden your body is saying what is this it looks like corn that looks like b. to looks like soil it looks like what is canola what is it and it's not that's the thing we're going to have to do keep an eye on i want to say thank you so much for . the pleasure for everybody that we have is here with us thank you so if you.

ok so this week in honor of women's history month of the awesomeness of female astronauts and general nasa planned to have an all female space. because no one an ounce of bother to make sure they pack more than one set of space suits and sizes that fit the women they were forced to cancel the historic about how many women did this massive event require suits for two two women just to astronaut and mclean had to relinquish her spot in the space walk because now sit in bother packing more than one medium sized hard upper torso or trip now site has accomplished a lot over the years which makes one wonder exactly how such an insulting mistake was made the mistake being that some. there you assumed that there would never be more than one female astronaut on the international space station at any one time that might need a space suit newsflash everyone women have been going to space since cosmic top because we're not valentino tara became the first woman ever to travel there and

nineteen sixty three so nasa the next time you want to stand on the shoulders of women for a bit of p.r. make sure you have it in are so. typical it is literally the most typical thing oh i'm sorry we don't have that. sorry you don't get to mature. that's rough but hey the other up thing is that as our show for today remember everyone in this world we are not told that we are loved enough so i tell you all i love you i am tired old winter of keep on watching those hawks out there and have a great day and i know everybody thanks. thanks thanks thanks. thanks.
