1:02 pm
completely rejected that's in addition to statements by the e.u. russia china japan and others. now abbas did mention he was open to negotiations with israel as long as the negotiations were sponsored by what is referred to as the international quartet united states the un russia and the european union now the israeli representative got up and spoke and indicated that israel feels that in the past negotiations with palestinians have been unsuccessful here's what we heard from the israeli representative president abbas few the to be plugged. if you do this to negotiate even into this did in finding a balance to to the conflict. mr president. let's not beat around the bush. would not be made of longer than the. reality only when he steps down can either. move fooled now
1:03 pm
according to the plan that was put forward jerusalem would remain israel's undivided capital and the united states claims it would double palestine's territory and that $50000000000.00 would be invested into a palestinian state now those are the claims put forward about what would go on and what would take place under this deal however though we have heard a lot of optimism and positive statements about it from the u.s. leaders as well as israeli leaders we have not heard anything positive about it from palestinians in fact in addition to negative statements about it from palestinian leaders there have been some pretty intense clashes take a listen to my vision presents a win win opportunity for both sides. a realistic 2 state solution that resolves the risks of palestinian statehood to the
1:04 pm
israel's security. i'm going to have to. it's a great plan prue's room. it's a great plan for peace. already on the very day when this u.n. security council meeting was taking place there were clashes taking place on the west bank between palestinians and israeli security forces near the palestinian city of ramallah there was conflict at this point there were jewish settlements there was tear gas dispersed against palestinian protesters rocks were thrown quite a heated. an intense exchange a lot of injuries took place it seems that this proposed peace plan is not leading to peace and stability. the modern president has revealed his administration has made contact with business leaders in his country's conflict stricken north in an
1:05 pm
effort to end the deadly violence that's been sui soon the whole region. admitted to administer admission to french journalists come shortly after paris said it would send $600.00 more troops the west africa short admits he has more. president kater in that interview said that no stone could be left unturned when it came to the search for peace and an end to the 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 this is as tensions have been mounting particularly over the last few months up bloodshed has been ratcheting up.
1:06 pm
the in the last 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 and its government is now talking to the c.g. hardest puts in question what perhaps those french troops are doing to guarantee that security in the region this acknowledgement 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
1:07 pm
a turning point in founding a solution to the issues in the saw her region when it comes to the insurgency by the 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 these senior harvests in an attempt to find peace will probably raise some eyebrows here in france especially given that french soldiers as maclin and put it well 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 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
1:08 pm
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 home 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
1:09 pm
a home grown 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. relations between the philippines and the u.s. have hit a new low but miller has announced that scrapping a decade's old defense agreement with washington that allows u.s. forces to train their saying it wants to be more independent it's about time we rely on ourselves we will strengthen our own defenses and not rely on any other country the move to end the defense agreement comes after a filipino senator who was also a top commander in the country's war on drugs had his u.s. visa rescinded without explanation when that happened president the tears he lashed
1:10 pm
out at the u.s. soon but all. but go on so i merely am wondering your this is the 1st time. in your. view no. one. better men may be said visiting is that women. up all same time. while the so-called visiting forces agreement has been in place since 1909 and allows us troops to take part in joint training exercises in the philippines the turd to accuse the american forces of clandestine activity even saying washington was storing nuclear weapons in the southeast asian country now the u.s. has said it received notification on ending the agreement but will not comment on further developments in an earlier interview exclusively with r.t.
1:11 pm
president to explain to us why he's so suspicious of the united states. he has the look. but so speed because we were 150 years and if you look difficult to learn. what we've got going to. prevent a war against. seoul. if you. think they're no good it. will still be a minute. they can get it from there and the. train is going to be close. to be so good in. merely. east of delhi will be. when you can watch the full interview at r.t. dot com and on our you tube channel as well in the meantime we spoke to activists
1:12 pm
to raise in manila who believes the miter agreement should have been terminated even sooner. there are reasons for scrapping the this is in force agreement or worse less than idea or a spat with the side over the drug war and we don't support the drug war but he believes that the are terminator the 50 to slaughter over jew it is just it's absolutely necessary yes been an affront to our sovereignty and it is a reminder to remain a new colony of the united states the north the sermon 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 a press for the term in egypt obviously we hope that money will not backtrack on this termination and we hope that the u.s. government would not extrude any more pressure on the philippines on account of this terminations but it's it's really too much intervention already for glass 2
1:13 pm
decades from the united states and this is the 1st time that the for the east will try to stand on its own 2 feet minus any fractious remunerated states. learns about what is and police has been facing a backlash that outing plowed through use live facial recognition cameras and seeing a sudden burst of interest the make up known as doesn't come across that he's shot it was best he met with some of the campaign is try to have at it as well. make up i says me on a daily basis but i don't think i rely on it as much these guys this is a doesn't know the knob but they're standing up to surveillance while they're doing is using anti facial recognition makeup to defy the system taking defiance to a whole new level.
1:14 pm
looks like a castle 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 them 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 2 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 for. people with us we don't tell you old as
1:15 pm
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 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 croyle 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 so it could be the actually you know your lipstick goes away this way in the right kind of bennett scaring not in
1:16 pm
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 to do you think it's an invasion of human rights or do you think i think you have the right let's look at it i think it's again i don't humor you know when we have a right to understanding 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 snoop the snooping shotted with the altie london. coming up next the democrats look to put
1:17 pm
the shambles of oil are behind them as the party heads but you have to show for the next round of selecting a candidate for run against donald trump back right after this short break. if we're going to build a house you need a ruler. to get to build something and standardization that was all for the industrial revolution. well in the global economy now we have no standard for money . money referring to other fees money infinite regress. and as a result a lot of problems. the world is. shaped by.
1:18 pm
1:19 pm
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 i don't know what the hell they're doing. however democrats in new hampshire remain determined to back their party's hopefuls explaining they would rather be hit by a meteorite than see donald trump secure a 2nd in the white house now ahead of tuesday's primary vote some of the saunders led the polls locally at nationwide to the media outlets though and even his own colleagues have been singling him out for his socialist leanings one u.s. news shuttle host likening 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 who bernie supports over these years i don't know what he means by socialist bernie coal seam self democratic socialist so you think flat out
1:20 pm
democrats can't defeat trump if they have to defend socialism i think it's going to be incredibly more difficult. and i think all activist anthony rogers right says the sort of campaign defies usual democrat tradition. and utter sanders it's not just his policies that have been. afraid it's the america that he's been. for you know more than 4 years now from when he ran in 2016 and his campaign is always represented in insurgency to 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 at the democratic national democratic party have attempted have not worked and so they're panicking quite frankly because they know that seniors nominee she doesn't just represent you
1:21 pm
know a new jemma credit party but it represents the mentality of a neo liberal orthodoxy coming to us with. the controversial budget plan and i'm sure the both reduce the deficit while boosting fall for washington to counter some familiar foes. we were led to believe that over a period of. robert you know deficit down to what it should be which is close to 0 and i think people are going to be very impressed by how well let's take a look at what things look like here the national defense spending will rise that i watering $740000000000.00 that's how it all breaks down almost $30000000000.00 for nuclear weapon modernization and there's a sizeable set for countering so-called threats from russia and china as well as of course russian propaganda which as a whole separate line in this budget $24000000.00 there are there are those some sections of course like health the environment and science that are potentially
1:22 pm
facing some significant cuts in american welfare programs will lose almost 300000000000 in funding that's according to trump's plan that extends to medicare medicaid social security for costs right now suggest there's a real chance the budget could be approved we started out the war activist brian becker who isn't convinced by trump's changes. there is nothing more absurd then 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 disease disease control at the same time the media in the government is feeding the war drums against china over the coronavirus the us is actually slashing its budget that's
1:23 pm
what the budget proposes big savage cuts to the health care infrastructure in america including to the centers for disease control and the national institute of health i mean this seems again crazy because it is crazy. some of the other world headlines to update you on this and i've got to start what has been a deadly terror attack near the capital a suicide bomber targeted a defense ministry building in kabul with 6 people killed and several others injured witnesses also said gunshots were heard in the office of all of the last group is yet claiming responsibility for the attack. but the bulk of the. demonstrators clashed with police in new delhi on monday as to continues over a news new citizenship law which critics say discriminates against muslims officers reportedly fired tear gas at students from the junior islami university as they

marched through the city toward the country's parliament a protest came was results from a legislative elections in the capital suggested the ruling hindu nationalist party built a major defeat. and the protesters have clashed with police in the lebanese capital of 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 rocks for. the ladies advantage advances in virtual reality technology have meant a south korean mother has been able to come face to face once again with a 7 year old daughter who she lost to illness a special combination of glasses and gloves allowed the mother to interact with the child in the virtual world and she can even talk to her using a model voice program which can also reflect behavior and other things.
1:25 pm
well the earlier we talked with an artificial intelligence research and an ethics professor to ask whether advances in virtual reality could prove more traumatic than positive. it can be a good idea. if you if you use in the in the right way for example if. grandma in this type of your tolerated the canard can their. personal relieve grief then i think you 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
1:26 pm
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 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 as humans expert need to control how we use technology and need to fundamentally put it's called bodies on
1:27 pm
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. up next the boom bust looks are coronaviruses impacts of the global economy another fight for farms you took on as you spread to mainland europe about 30 minutes later. you know world of big partisan movies lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than
