6:02 am
french media that his government is holding talks with extremist groups in the country's north the diplomatic push comes as france seeks to bolster its troop presence in the region latest on this from charlotte is joining us live charlotte take us through the latest developments on the ramifications of them. well this is the 1st time we've heard it acknowledge that mali's government is talking to senior just hardest in the area this is as tensions have been mounting particularly over the last 2 months that bloodshed has been ratcheting up and there president cater in that interview said that no stone could be left unturned when it came to the search for peace and an end to that blood chat. it is my duty and my mission to do everything possible so that one way or another we can achieve some sort of peace because the number of deaths in the sahara is increasing exponentially and i believe that it is time that certain avenues are
6:03 am
explored. but this acknowledgement is pretty uncomfortable given that it comes just weeks after a summit in france the g 5 sawhill summit was held in january that was hailed as a success by president he said at the time that the summit was a turning point in founding a solution to the issues in this region when it comes to that insurgency by your hardest and he acknowledged at that summit and he said that this has been acknowledged by other african region are as well is that the former colonial power was the only guarantee of security on the ground so the idea that mali's government is now talking to the senior hardest in an attempt to find peace will probably raise some eyebrows here in france especially given that french soldiers macron and put it will paying for the conflict in blood and it's also possibly a slap in the face given what we've just heard the announcement that france is to
6:04 am
boost its troops in the region the armed forces minister announcing that that would bring the troop deployment up to around $5100.00 it also comes at a time when there are tensions over the presence of french military the french troops in the region as well there have been protests on the ground across the saw her region of people saying that they're unhappy with the idea of a former colonial power having its troops in the region today and that's something that mcconnell also touched on in that summit in power in the south of france back in january he actually said that there was a problem with french troops being on the ground and he suggested that the tensions were in fact being stood up by what he described as foreign powers. the speeches that i've heard in recent weeks a contemptible because they serve other interests the interests of terrorist groups or those of foreign powers who want to see the europeans withdraw because they have their own agendas agendas involving mercenaries the french armies in the world to
6:05 am
promote security and stability. well there was no further details to elaborate on that no evidence given by president but this new announcement of this talking with the hardest and also another announcement by the african union that what they need is a homegrown counterterrorism force perhaps suggest french troops aren't exactly that welcome at least in the long term and this could cause some difficulties for president back on here in france he's been under pressure recently to justify that continued military deployment that presence in the and of course now with those increasing troops heading to the area. this is group from from. get more for us throughout the afternoon here. the next story is coming from central europe and england merkel's expected through professor is german chancellor

a stern burleigh after resigning as leader of the christian democratic union and a gret crum current won't run in the next election when after a regional vote scandal over so-called far right far was our europe correspondent peter overlooks where it left the c.d.u. today. before monday it was almost impossible to hear good calamos by a journalist commentator without them are being widely tipped as a future successor to angela merkel all that is no more after a meeting with christian democratic party top brass on sunday she decided to quit as party leader and she won't be running for the job of chancellor at the next election. then there would be difficult times and the last 2 years have proved that out of this reasons and with the intention to make the city's stronger after careful consideration i have announced my decision today in front of the c.d.u.
6:07 am
board meeting and federal board i want john for the position of chancellor as i have already announced i will lead the process to find the new. and a detour will move the c.d.u. and the whole union forward the polls have not been kind to the c.d.u. who along with their very insistent party the c.s.u. a lot in a loveless marriage of a coalition with the center left social democrats the final straw for i think that . his name is often the breviary to a k.k.k. was last week's debacle in turning.
6:08 am
the fallout from today caused a major wary impasse the ranks with questions being asked of a k k s abilities she can't handle face what happens when it comes to the real serious stuff she has made the kills have been worse if the coal falls on deaf ears in the party's regional branches then she's no longer up to her role a cd you party chairwoman instead of letting things slide the party top brass would have done well to show leadership former vice chancellor an excellent of the social democrat gabrielle is warranted 'd a k k s resignation could well bring the curtain down on the current coalition government we're witnessing the end of the 2nd major peoples party in germany after the s.p.d. the c.d.u. is also no longer able to keep a lid on tensions within his own party the wings have drifted too far apart at the same time the federal government has been paralyzed for a 2nd time in quick succession after the s.p.d.
6:09 am
candidate race i suspect it won't be long before we have new elections current situation leaves germany's christine you. of c.d.u. c.s.u. the need of selecting who will lead them into the next general election friedrich mertz is emerging as the bookies favorite he missed out to a k.k. in 2018 c.d.u. leadership race in contrast to crab who didn't really dazzle on getting the post met as barely put a foot wrong and could be the pro-business socially conservative candidate the cd use base have been wanting yen spawn came behind and met in the last contest for c.d.u. leadership the 39 year old health minister how supports on the right of the party he came to prominence for being outspoken on chancellor merkel's refugee policy he is most recently impressed with his views on germany's actions to combat the coronavirus and coordinating with european and g 7 nations markets is being
6:10 am
increasingly talked about as a potential candidate for chancellor no one from the varian c.s.u. has ever taken the top job the 53 year old has it would seem won over many in the largest c.d.u. branch of the union bush he has been keen to dismiss talk of a run at the chancellorship after 18 years of angela merkel at the helm of the c.d.u. 13 of those as chancellor it was always going to be a tough job for whoever came in but with i get it or announcing that she will quit the post less than 2 years after having taken it up those within the c.d.u. old guard and concerned at the direction the party is heading in the next candidate for chancellor will not become a chancellor if we continue like this a k.k. has said that she will stay in her role as party leader until a candidate for chancellor is announced but ultimately this move by the step down
6:11 am
is a huge if not potentially fatal blow to uncle of merkel's hopes of managing who will be her successor peter all of her r.t. berlin wall c.d.u. member mustafa told us about the challenges facing his party right now and how it needs to address them. current combo or she took. after a very huge conflict that we had in 2 years ago. we have bush a tradition in respect of the royals hold but we never forget her fight when you were for get a historical fight to bring sid your together there are certain people there are not too loyal to our party to find all trolls doyel to us i'm really not because this is more to game and be sold out in the last few days there is a lot of people in the world why they are plagued with the fire and this is very dangerous for our so live now to to come together to discuss together to find out
6:12 am
where we are go where we are where we are going it's really suppose that when i see now that our parties they are keeping lately are sitting at a ferry from us no it's could have been any parties in this time and the politics are history but as i say the time now we really need to come together to write or to draw award marks for the next future. nocive you figure this next story controversial maybe you'll think the latest advances in virtual reality tag of meant a south korea mothers be literally able to come pretty much face to face once again with his 7 year old daughter who she lost to will miss a special combination of glasses and gloves allow the mother to interact with the child in the virtual world she can even talk to or using a model voice program which can also reflect behavior and other characteristics. and i.
6:13 am
will only we talk to an artificial intelligence research and an ethics professor to try to gauge whether or not these advances in virtual reality could prove more traumatic than positive into the day. it can be a good idea. if you if you use in the in the right way for example if. grammar and this type of your targeted the chronology can their. personal relieve grief then i think it can be a good idea but again it does not need to be misused the intriguing possibilities of virtual reality to make it possible to experience things that we cannot in any other way and this sort of example is a good one where you might be able to see again to speak again to somebody who's
6:14 am
died depict fold my lies in the technical reconstruction of of the corrupter a saw if their day artificial intelligence in this case is not able to recall a struct a person in their eye way then when a human interact with all of them in this case then. interact in not really not through away so the paradox of this technology is there the better the more realistic it is the more plausible it might be as therapy or as a benefit for someone but also the more disconcerting it might be and the worry might be that it might prolong somebodies grieving or even make it difficult for them to get on with the rest of their world if humans expert need to control how we use technology and need to fundamentally put it's called bodies on
6:15 am
on the use of such technologies there are very good reasons to to think very carefully about the ethics of of artificial intelligence whether that's in health care decision making or in on our roads or or in in huge areas of life where there's great potential for benefit but also real concerns about what the risks than side effects might be. it's got to pass the folks be with us today next story london's metropolitan police have been facing a backlash since announcing plans to use live facial recognition cameras and it seen then a sudden burst of interest in what's known as dazzle camouflage arty sharjah edwards daschle met some of these campaigners in make up. make up i says never learn on a daily basis but i don't think i rely on it as much as these guys this is a doesn't know the knob but they're standing up to surveillance well they're doing is using anti facial recognition makeup to defy the system taking defiance to
6:16 am
a whole new level. looks like a picasso would be proud of himself well that's an estimated 630000 c.c.t.v. cameras watching london's $8000000.00 people go about the daily lives that's around one camera for 14 people this is just a case of algorithms can already extract information ranging from gender age and even mood from a single image and then those physical attributes can be linked to commercial government databases and all the facial recognition technology could provide huge benefits and automation security many would argue it's a threat to privacy despite the arguments against the advance in facial recognition a moving piece of events into a new a while in phase doesn't clip started as
6:17 am
a response to study. about fresh recognition being used on the king's cross site and we've spent a lot of time on things from. people with us we don't tell you all there's a camera there's a camera at the end of the war cameras everywhere the group meets once a month to walk through different parts of london mosque with the come a flush the prevents computers recognising their faces well the trick to downswing as they call it a surprise up the face and as the motto goes less is more when it comes to the beauty routine so let's explore the secret of deceiving big brother time to get ready for a walk. police
6:18 am
say facial recognition will revolutionize the fight against troy and with the threat of terror on the rise the pressure for improved security heightens but surely a simple lick of paint called stop this cutting edge technology can it it's expecting your lips to be here so it could be that actually you know your lipstick goes away this way in the right kind of bennett scaring not a different way it's been primarily tested on white men when it's kind of implemented on a kind of mass level on the streets of london for example. is largely inaccurate when it comes to people of color but while make up like this presents a challenge to facial recognition it can still be seen by other technologies like gates recognition meaning people's distinctive walking patterns are also monitored so perhaps the trick to dodging the system is more of a hop skip and jump away too do you think it's an invasion of human rights or do you think i think you have a right let's look at it i think it's again i don't humor you know when we have a right to understanding our data is going and how it's being used i don't
6:19 am
personally feel safer when i'm surrounded by cameras at the moment i was a very big widely acknowledged legislation so all of this data is being collected whether the dazzle club or a small step or leap away from bowing down to big brother the cessna sporting the snoop a snooping shouted with the r t london this is art international on the way i hope you stick around the flu break the democrats looking to put the shambles of iowa behind them as the party heads to new hampshire for the next round of selecting a candidate to run against on the drug just one of the stories were across for you when we come back. to you you. if you get to build a house you need a roller. to get to build something in the standardization that was all part of the industrial revolution. well in the global economy now we have no standard for money
6:20 am
. money referring to other fear of money it's infinite regress. and as a result a lot of problems. the world is driven by a dream shaped by. thinks . we ask.
6:21 am
again so in new hampshire in the united states democrats are ready now to vote for the presidential kind of that they want to challenge donald trump round one in iowa so bernie sanders one pizza booted judge technical with the voting up gave the president i mean this should of course tomorrow the confusion. you can vote for the weakest candidate if you were my only problem is i'm trying to figure out who is their weakest candidate i think they're all we want to know they're all fighting each other they're all going after each other you got of all over the place that are what they're doing however the democrats see new hampshire remain determined they say to back their party's hopefuls expecting they'd rather be hit by a meteorite than see double trump secure a 2nd in the white house now i had to choose those primary votes senator sanders leads the polls locally and nationwide media outlets need his own cold exhibit in singling him out for his socialist leanings with one u.s.
6:22 am
news channel now we can report. lightning his possible victory to a communist dictatorship i remember the cold war i have an attitude towards castro i believe that castro and the rich had won the cold war there were no executions in central park i don't know that very very sports over these years i don't know what he means by social bernie calls himself a democratic socialist so you think flat out democrats can't defeat trump if they have to defend socialism i think is going to be incredibly more difficult. political activist entourages writes about it he says that the sign of this campaign defies democrat traditions and. senator sanders it's not just his policies that have the democratic establishment afraid it's the movement that he's been able it's inability. for you know more than 4 years now from when he ran in 2016 and campaign is always represented in insurgency to
6:23 am
establishment democrats in the democratic national committee now that we're seeing with fund raising numbers we're seeing with his rallies we're seeing with the polling these tactics that the democratic national democratic party have attempted have have not worked and so they're panicking a bit quite frankly because they know that a bernie sanders nomination doesn't just represent you know a new general credit party but it represents the mentality of a neo liberal orthodoxy coming to a swift and climate crisis next what it might feel like it's only going to save our planet from climate peril times come paying us right on our own doorstep are also pitching up with ideas to try to protect mother of one swedish professor proposed switching to eco friendly pets no less so much for man's best friend apparently.
6:24 am
apparently if you believe that our beaches baryons it's better to have plants that are greedy for greens to the lake to use rabbits she can grow its. yams are an excellent solution for organic waste the celebrate the compile sting process decrease the waste and create valuable glancing so. what if human meat is growing we become want to do against cannibalism the interesting test case be consequential list morality versus. absolute is that. i feel someone has it but to not appear overly conservative i have to say i'd be
6:25 am
open to abuse tasty. and for decent birth stivers that is the number one reason and base how did they are just signed it into the universe that they will not have children or have any more children because of time and. so if we kick out the cat we ditched the dog the consequences for a reaction going full green could mean for you personally when it comes to climate change. by the way. teachers in england being equipped with cameras now much like the ones police officers with more about the threat educators say they're facing. also while the world watches so carefully as the corona virus outbreak spreads from china scientists say i'm. another novel virus has been discovered now in brazil want to find out more it's online r.t. dot com for months. donald trump's announced
6:26 am
a controversial budget plan that aims to both reduce the deficit while also boosting funds for washington to counter familiar furloughs prove lead today that over a period of relative to. rubber chicken or deficit there are 2 of what it should be which is close to 0 and i think people are going to be very impressed by. well here's what it looks like let's break it down a bit national defense spending set to rise to an eye watering $750000000000.00 including nuclear weapon modernization there's also a sizable amount there too for a country so called threats from pressure and china that includes russian propaganda which has a whole separate light in the budget however there are some key sectors such as these for americans health the environment science of potentially facing significant cuts in these new budgets america welfare programs will lose almost
6:27 am
300000000000 in funding according to trump's plan if it gets through it extends to medicare medicaid and social security and indeed talk about it getting through 4 cars right no suggests that there is a real chance that the budget could be improved we sounded out antiwar activist brian becker who isn't convinced by trump's changes here. but there is nothing more absurd than taking more money away from health education that which people need in the united states and using it to gin up for a confrontation with russia trying to ministrations moving far away from even the semblance of diplomacy they're cutting the state department and cutting the usa id budget but they're also cutting the national institutes for health the environmental protection agency they're cutting the centers for debris disease control at the same time the media in the government is reading the war drums against china over the coronavirus the us is actually slashing its budget that's what the budget proposes big savage cuts to the health care infrastructure in
6:28 am
america including to the centers for disease control and the national institute of health i mean this seems again crazy because it is crazy so i will do so for you 1st have to understand there's been a deadly terror attack near the capital let me tell you more a suicide bomber targeted the defense ministry building in kabul 6 people were killed several more injured the witnesses also said gunshots have been heard in the aftermath of the blast so far we can tell you no groups come forward to say they're behind the attack but we'll keep you posted if we get more elsewhere the philippines is but an announcement there that is ending a security pact with the u.s. that stood since 1999 it was initially signed to allow american forces to train in the asian country now that move was reported in response to the consolation of philippine senator ronald bello u.s. visa for all this it's expected to take a run several months for the changes to come into effect officially. antigovernment
6:29 am
protesters have clashed with police in the lebanese capital beirut as demonstrators continue to vent their anger over almost $700000000.00 in spending cuts officers used tear gas and water cannon some of those running through ropes and. if you'll check out the clock it's exactly 29 minutes past the hour thanks movie watching around the world for choosing to our international one is kind of annoying but with more than just 30 woman it's time to check it out comb over the rest of the social media if you want to keep abreast with everything else is happening between now and then review of this tuesday around the world hope you have a great day watching the hawks is next. in 2040 you know bloody revolution to crush the demonstrations going from being relatively peaceful political protests to be creasing the violent revolution is always spontaneous or is it.
6:30 am
the president recalls the events of 2040 and. those who took part in this today over 5000000000 dollars to assist ukraine in these and other goals that will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race. spearing dramatic development the only place really exists i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk.
