8:02 pm
he has details on the story. mass evacuations happening from the office building surrounding the london bridge vicinity it was indeed a major incident and the assistant police commissioner who confirmed it was terrorist related as you would expect the nature of the incident we responded as though this was terrorist related are now in a position that it has been declared a terrorist incident it is with the heaviest of hearts that i have to inform you that as well as the suspect who was shot dead by police. 2 of those injured in this attack. in the london bridge area have tragically lost lives the suspect who was also. a hoax explosives attached to him he was shot down at the scene on london bridge is understood that before he was shot down dead there are members of the public that were pinning him down that was video footage that emerged not reportedly at this moment in time as i say the incident
8:03 pm
broke out some 3 hours ago and there were convoys of emergency services flooding into the scene descending onto london bridge including counterterrorism offices at the time it was a precautionary measure of course now it's been confirmed as a terrorist related but accompanying them was also specialist. offices too as well as the ambulance services and indeed the fire brigade we understand that many victims are now being treated at hospitals for their injuries some of which are a serious level the police are still offering statements saying that the public must remain vigilant and say calm at this moment in time as they say the instance over it's no longer ongoing but of course earlier there were scenes of absolute pandemonium and chaos rushing people. talking. about i was. thinking about it yes. it's
8:04 pm
a big flaw that people. company calling every time i think. a lot of them are going on the panic. like. like a wave or something going on. and then suddenly everybody said go down into the basement and we are taken down and replaced with until such time that now we've been evacuated well we have had some reaction then from the prime minister boris johnson clearly my thoughts 1st my. fault 1st with the emergency services with the police the bravery they showed in going towards danger as they do i also want to pay tribute to the extraordinary bravery of those members of the public who physically intervened knife crime though when the captain of london is out a record highs at the moment people are understandably very worried and concerned and dates.
8:05 pm
well london is currently going through something of a knife crime epidemic with $132.00 fatal stabbing so far this year and that's after last year's soar surge in the number of killings in the capital to 130 the epidemic is now close to being the highest in a decade for make u.k. police officer peter kirk and believes it's difficult to prevent such incidents
8:06 pm
a big part of the problem with this type of terrorism is there is no big organization behind it for the place and security forces to infiltrate to carry out surveillance on and so forth. and so you've got the self starters if you like individuals often with petty crime mental health and other problems in their background who self radicalize on the internet and they may not of even talk to anybody and certainly they rarely talk to many people around them or any people around them well just a few hours after those events unfolded in london 3 people were injured in a separate stabbing on the main shopping street in the hague in the netherlands the incident did spark panic among shoppers.
8:07 pm
6 what we know so far is there's a static incidence around the outer reaches of easter season and rethink all interests of those 3 people or all 3 of them are miners. at this moment really haven't. been there and haven't arrested i suspect yet so we're going to be very busy. trying to find the story 3 people have been injured and yes indeed it is the main street the main shopping street in the hague now this is a friday night so it was bound to be packed with the shoppers but at the same time remember that it is the black friday night as well which. had this jail of the whole thing which has led even more people out in the streets seeking for a good deal also adding to that is it's christmas time already in europe and for
8:08 pm
instance here in france there's plenty of christmas markets all christmas markets have been open and operational for quite a while now and it's the same in the netherlands so that being the main shopping street and being called a mark which means that the market well it was again it was bound to be packed with people and we've heard some reports that the attacker apparently it looked like that he he had wanted to injure as many people as possible now initially the dutch police they issued the issued a statement saying that they had been looking on for a suspect between 40 and 50 years old and wearing a gray jogging suit we do know that the police are still looking for the suspect we have seen a video of dutch police a branding some man but we have not had any can. whether or not that person
8:09 pm
is indeed the suspect wanted in connection with this attack on the main street now again no one has been officially confirmed to be taken into custody in connection with that but again there was a bit of a scare adding up to what happened in london tonight as well. now turning to some other headline news the mayor of a small town in bolivia who was brutally assaulted by a mob pass return to work patricio say recently left hospital and images of the attack have been posted on social media highlighting the dangers faced by politicians loyal to the ousted leader ever morality and a warning that there are scenes coming up that you might find upsetting at the start of november after setting the town hall on fire as activists paraded her best but cut her hair in public and then sprayed it red during the 4 hour ordeal she was made to kneel and find a resignation letter and she told us she's still being treated for kidney damage
8:10 pm
sustained from the blows she received. when what happened was disgusting i am now recovering from brean all damage that i suffered during the assault and i'm still in pain the also cut off my hair they beat me up but they can change my views everything was so confusing at that moment many of them covered their faces but we recognize some of them it was sad to see all those people attacking me it's been a difficult time for my children to see their mother in such a condition i don't want this to happen again. bolivia is now facing police go on certainty the self-appointed rightwing government of selling to janine and his has already been accused of abuses ever morale has resigned after the country's military suggested that he step down and that was on the back of a wave of protests following october's election and alleged allegations of vote fraud his supporters protest what they see as a kook and during the country's post-election armrest 34 people were killed and more than 800 injured patricio again says that the violence must stop. you know

8:12 pm
violent protests across the country with people demanding a change of government they've been angered over poor services unemployment and chronic corruption more than 300 people have been killed and thousands more have been injured since the rallies began last month alister gulf state analytics alexandra bruno believes the p.m.'s resignation won't solve iraq's problems. i don't think that the situation will change considerably in fact i think this is a you know what they call a pyrrhic victory there's they've got the agreement for the prime minister to resign but what will actually change for iraqis particularly under streets i don't think anything will change. given the structural problems infrastructure is failing there is not enough money to pay public so the economy has changed at all in the 1st since the american invasion until.
8:13 pm
the sciri. this reconstruction program begins i don't think the so-called democracy do anything to fix the real problems facing iraqis. the european union has made much in recent years on the issue of climate change times all these evangelists it sounds has been finding out they don't appear to be practicing what they preach. so people have gathered behind me in the large numbers to participate in a protest called fridays for future it's aim to bring more awareness on climate change the topic is becoming ever more popular with a lot of people getting in on the acting fluting hollywood stars activists politicians and european union lawmakers recently the european union even when i went as far to the clay or a state of climate and environmental emergency if there's one area the world needs

8:15 pm
streets so how is this reducing c o 2 emissions well a german politician says he felt the way to stop this costly practice according to the treaty of amsterdam the parliament has to have a seat in stroudsburg not specifically in the city of strasburg he went as far as making a you tube video to prove his point he got a champagne bottle smashed it in the seat of parliament in brussels and he called it strauss work so it seems like the problem is solved so from this day on this planet. shall be known as. we asked people what they think of the e.u. lawmaker schedule i think it's. their lives they shouldn't travel like every month like for one week i think it will change because france wants to have this so it's not going to change the should be one european parliament and this will be one
8:16 pm

well this is broadcasting around the world and covering all aspects of our global economy in the 21st century. and i'm christiane washington we have a special show focusing on the tech sector has what we have coming up earlier this month we dove deep into rules controversial part with extension health care that prompted federal regulators to launch an investigation into the matter we had a power panel weigh in on what the feds might do and a warning of what this new health tap world means for all our future. as the use of virtual assistants is expanding and becoming a enter client to our daily lives we asked just how reliable are these robotic we talk about the vulnerabilities in these systems and the responsibility of tech companies to watch them down it is peculiar that you didn't use the speed forward should society tap the brakes just long enough to sort out the developments we
8:27 pm
spoke with you know on in the copenhagen denmark about the growth of microchip being human and what those cultural practices could play in the cast with the side of a packed show today let's get right to it. earlier this month we told you that google had partnered with extension health care the 2nd largest health care provider in the nation to gather and process data on tens of millions of americans just one day after a u.s. federal regulator in a did an investigation into the deal the office for civil rights in the department of health and human services is going to look into the data collection and whether or not it violates. laws these are federal laws that protect the identity of medical patients and their information now as a reminder except that health care operates 2600 hospitals and hundreds of doctors offices which means that about 150 google engineers have access to very specific health information on about 50000000 americans across 21 states prior to this
8:28 pm
agreement with google which launched in july of 2018 extension had its digital records spread across 40 data centers but let's be very clear about this google is not taking over the medical records google is uploading these tens of millions of individual records to its cloud computing services and then using that information to build advanced artificial intelligence which would then be used to prescribe treatments to doctors and for patients we were joined in the studio by the host of the news with rick sanchez rick sanchez who is also the founder of a managed care company in south florida that was recently listed as the fastest growing health care company in america by magazine and we're also joined from new york by global regulatory attorney myles edwards we kicked off the conversation by asking mr edwards how this is compliant with hipaa laws it does fit in the hipper laws and what's really interesting about this situation is the u.s. government is investigating them but it's
8:29 pm
a health and human services civil rights division which is investigating them specifically to determine whether this information will be used to make insurance to terminations that is when you apply for an insurance policy will something that occurred in your background influence that decision though in my opinion what they're building is what i call a life style index which is where they take your medical records and integrate it with all the other information google has ever collected upon you and determine whether you're a good insurance risk or not which is really going beyond what that information was meant for so not only is there. a civil rights component to it but there's also a question of did it violate hipaa i say yes no one knew about this situation this project nightingale until a whistleblower within the project basically went ahead and dumped this information on dailymotion and so what happened is there was no information that individual's
8:30 pm
records were being used in this manner no consent which violates hipaa and i would also say that the way that the information was used and stored and the security protocols around it certainly did not meet him get that that was the question is going to follow up with what we know to rebut the big question has to be whether or not consent plays a role here exactly so right that's the other big issue here and that's the other issue of a company like a google having access to so many records and connected social media health care history fitness of these patients so are we looking at a potential future where insurance companies can access and these data and analytics and determine whether or not people can get coverage or are denied claims well let's try and make this a simple as we can for everybody who's trying to understand what is incumbent upon us as a doctor or a provider when it comes to medical records and that's the data that we collect from the patients yes doctors or doctors.
