welcome to this 30 minute live update for you this tuesday 1st that story in from germany anger merkel's expected successor as german chancellor a stern berlin today after resigning as leader of the christian democratic union and a great cramp current won't run in the next election after a regional vote scandal over so-called far right fire walls our europe correspondent peter all of a look so where it's left the c.d.u. with them today. before monday it was almost impossible to hear on a good compound bows name said by a journalist commentator without them of being widely tipped as a future success set to angle a miracle well 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 and that's without any new meg there and 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. board meeting and federal board i want john for the position of chancellor as i have already announced our will lead the process to find the new candidate who will move the c.d.u. and the whole union forward to the polls of not being kind to the c.d.u. who along with that but variances to party the c.s.u. a looked in a loveless marriage of a coalition with the center left social democrats the final straw for i think it. his name is often the breviary to a k.k.k. was last week's debacle in turning. up.

with. the fallout from to injury caused a major wary impasse the ranks with questions being asked over a cake case a billet sees she can tumble face what happens when it comes to the real serious stuff she has made the kilo's of and 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 ex leader of the social democrat ziegler gabrielle has worn '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 its 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. candidate race i suspect it won't be long before we have new elections current situation leaves germany's kristie in union of c.d.u. in a c.s.u. in need of selecting who will lead them into the next general election frederick mertz is emerging as the bookies favorite he missed out to a k k in 2018 c.d.u. leadership race in contrast to cram academy he didn't really gasol 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 span came behind a k. 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 combine the

coronavirus and coordinating with european and g 7 nations markets is being 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 bertie. he has been keen to dismiss talk of a run at the chancellorship after 18 years of angler 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 at cons and 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 is a huge if not potentially fatal blow to on google merkel's hopes of managing who will be her successor peter all of her r.t. berlin is c.d.u. member told us about the challenges facing his party right now and how it needs you thinks to address them. current combo or sheet turk. after a very huge conflict that we had in 2 years ago. we have the shape. of a spectator also but we never forget her fight when you were for get a historical fight to bring sea jewel together there are certain people there are not too loyal to your party to find out who is doyle to austin who is not because this is new to game and we saw that in the past few days there is a lot of people in the world why they are playing with up with the fire and this is

very dangerous for us so we need now to come together to discuss together to find out what where you are go where we are where we are going it's very situations that when i see no the other parties they are keeping it likely they are seeking revenge from us no it's could have been in any party in this time or in the in the politics or history but as i say the time now we really need to come together to write or to draw award mob for the next future. the molly in president has revealed that his administration's made contact with islamist leaders in these countries conflict stricken north in an effort to try to end the deadly violence been sweeping the region there ibrahim boubacar caters admission to french journalists comes shortly after paris said it will be sending 600 more troops to west africa shiela do bensky reports. well this is the 1st time we've heard it a good knowledge that mali's government is talking to senior judge 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 bloodshed. 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 were explored well as you're aware there is a heavy french a presence of military in the sawhill region so the idea that mali's president is and its government is now talking to these sunni jihad this puts in question what perhaps those french troops are doing to guarantee that security in the region this acknowledgment is pretty uncomfortable given that it comes just weeks after a summit here 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 hard earned he acknowledged at that summit and said that this has been acknowledged by other african region 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 harvests in an attempt to find peace and probably raise some eyebrows here in france especially given that french song does not paying for the conflict in blood and it's also possibly a slap in the face given that we've just had the announcement that france is to boost its troops in the region the armed forces minister announcing that that would bring the. 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 south whole 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 mcdonald also touched on in that summit in power in the south of france back in january he actually said that there was no 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 be very interested 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 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 this and of course now with those increasing troops heading to the area. now this next story is controversial i'm sure you'll have your views on it too the latest advances in virtual reality check of men now that one south korean mother has been pretty much able to come face to face once again with his 7 year old daughter who she lost to will miss a special combination of glasses and gloves allowed the mother to interact with the child in the virtual world because she can even talk to a using a modeled voice program which can also reflect behavior and other characteristics

check this. it's pretty hard to watch isn't it well earlier we talked with an artificial intelligence research and an ethics professor to ask where the they thought these advances in virtual reality could in fact prove more traumatic than positive. it can be a good idea. if you if you use in the in the rye way for example if all a gram in this type of beer tolerated 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 died dipshit 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 record 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 is 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 on the use of such technologies they're 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. you know we'll continue to track that story now coming up by the way folks watch in among the stories ahead of the break the philippines is no big news as ended a long running security deal with the united states as relations between the 2 to write further we're going to bring you some live coverage hopefully not too.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race in this on spilling dramatic developments only

personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. again her philippine story mentioned for the break in a bit but 1st london's metropolitan police have been facing a backlash since announcing those plans to use live facial recognition cameras big controversy it's now seen a sudden burst of interest then in makeup known as does all come of large edwards d'asti met with some of the campaigners and try to handle it as self to. 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 docile a no no after a race but they're standing up to surveillance well they're doing is using anti facial recognition makeup to defy the system taking defiance to

a whole new level. looks like an artwork 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 can 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 the doesn't clip started as

a response to study. about fresh recognition being used on the construction site and we've spent a lot of time on things. to 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 flash the prevents computers recognizing 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 say facial recognition will revolutionize the fight against crime and with the

threat of terror on the rise the pressure for improved security heightens but surely a simple lick of paint can 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 well 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 to do you think it's an invasion of human rights or do you think you know i think you have a right let's look at it i think it's again based on humor you know when we have a right to understanding our data is going and how it's being used i don't 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 away from bowing down to big brother the sesame sporting the sniff the snooping shouted with study r t london. developing next relations between the philippines and the u.s. if it's a new low point when the scrapping a decade's old defense agreement with washington that allows u.s. forces to train the saying it wants to be more independent it's about time we rely on our show we will strengthen our own defenses and not rely on any other country. well a move to end the defense agreement then comes after a top philippine command instantly in the country's war on drugs and had his u.s. visa rescinded without explanation seems to be the catalyst for a lot of this when that happened present it deterred say lashed out at the u.s.

see but they all. but go on the star movie and whining this is the 1st i. mean you're not. you know. why are you a better man may be said. visiting forces agreement. or saying. or never mincing his words as usual the move to end the defense agreement comes after as we mentioned the top philippine commander in the country's war on drugs at his u.s. visa rescinded the so-called visiting forces agreement has been in place since 1999 it allows us troops to take part in joint training exercises in the philippines to target accused american forces of clandestine activity even saying washington was storing nuclear weapons in the southeast asian country the u.s.

says it's received notification of ending the agreement but will not comment on further developments in an earlier interview president attorney explain to his wife so suspicious of the u.s. . but they will be here for the look. i say but spain because where we were under the americans were people be here and be here long if i come to learn. what we've got going to. prevent the war against them. so. if you live if they don't know we're getting a canadian border. was still the america and they can get it from the rest and be. the german. chinese government it's been causing the respect to be so good in the. of the weeks of america. he's loved only will tell you. so a lot going on down the see you say the let's go live to manila political activist

renata raz is there hey again thanks for coming our program so he warned about this back in january is now followed through president the turkey has decided to scrap the agreement now are you surprised that he did what he said he do we're not surprised the reasons for scrat this is in force agreement or worse less than idea or us. war and we don't support the ground war but he believes that the germany's or the if you just lost over jill is just absolutely necessary. yes been an affront to our sovereignty and now it is a reminder that you remain a new united states so we do support the fermentation and we hope that this will go all the way to 888 before the germany actually expects is there a chance it could be you turned on or do you think it is going to go through. well we know that the north is a thermal nation has been received by the united states and i think it's now

waiting game we have 100 east by which we can have we will have pressed for the terminator to be if we hope no money i will not backtrack on this termination and we hope that the u.s. government would not if certainly more pressure on the philippines on account of this terminations because it's is truly too much intervention already for the last 3 decades from the united states and this is the 1st time that the philippines will try to stand on its own 2 feet minus any purchase from the united states for the long run ties where there are 2 more defense treaties that the philippines has with the u.s. as well will they be dropped 2 different well one of the defense chiefs the and has defense cooperation agreement cannot be made operable if there is not the heat because the other cheek the other agreement would require hillis troops on the ground for it to be implemented so if there are no u.s. troops on the ground the other agreement comes in operable even also the missile

defense treaty me suffer suffer from some infirmities or in operability just as the absence of any u.s. troops to back up any american commitment to the philippines and i don't think this is a bad thing per se this is good in so far as the philippines will now have to and stand on its own 2 feet become independent and not rely too much on the united states in the us that's for that which has been plaguing last year the past 5 decades or not where dependence in the u.s. has made this very neat and this going to be an opportunity for us to regain lost ground recently very favorable 40 seconds and what do you think response we're going to be light from the united states now they're likely to kick off by this are we going to see closer ties there maybe between the philippines and russia and china as we heard. this is going to have some serious implications and we expect the contradictions moneyless and washington will intensify and. as for russia china

he didn't say he should 1st explore what its in its best interest you have on the china so i don't think it's a good idea to come rushing to the arms of china at this point so let's try to see what's best for the it means right now and not rush into any disagreement with any other our. the story or not so raw is political activists on the line there from manila got so mad say it's all psycho by chief and i have thanks very much. home as well thanks for watching out international thank you for watching coming up we've got more of course at r.t. dot com or us for social media if you want to track all the rest the stories we're covering today so much more time by after the break mexico.

and we're going to fulfill the repeated promises of politics to the people and come out you know we've all box to read. 3 books. you want to work. no. paul.

coming. in 2040 you know bloody revolution here to crush the demonstrations going from being relatively peaceful political protests to be creasing the violent revolution is always spontaneous or is it just a lawyer here i mean your list put me in the. school and you go to the former ukrainian president recalls the events of 2014. of those who took part in this to do over $5000000000.00 to assist ukraine in these and other goals that will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic. israel media a reflection of reality. in
