7:05 am
criticized the 2 countries for taking military action in brazil then szell zones something moscow and damascus denier. it is the syrian regime as well as russian forces and iran by militants acting with continuously attacking civilians committing massacre and the statements made by turkish representatives about a legit russian military attacks on civilians in the edward discolorations zone are false the real reason for the crisis and ad lib unfortunately is that our turkish colleagues have failed to fulfill their obligations to separate the moderate opposition militants from the terrorists in these areas turkey has not upheld its obligations not on the saudi agreement but also on the astonished agreement on the saatchi agreement deescalation zones are not going to work if turkey doesn't. maintain its side of the bargain and in order to separate the militants supposedly from the regular moderate rebels we know in reality that there is no difference
7:06 am
really between those 2 so that part of the agreement is neither here nor there but the because of this there is no way to have the escalation zones on the a stunner agreement. if you remember back in the fall of 20 teen there were a number of things agreed and one of the key things was that turkey would assist in the liberation of the international road to damascus to aleppo road or the the m 5 highway to turkey has never done that and the reason none of these agreements are working is because actually turkey appears to be pursuing a parallel agenda and as long as it's doing that there's no way that they're going to meet those obligations and therefore the situation will become dysfunctional very quickly. saying in syria a 3rd whistleblower has chimed in with claims accusing the world chemical weapons watchdog of creating an atmosphere of intimidation in the investigation into the
7:07 am
alleged chlorine attack in the syrian city of duma in april 28th saying they don't have a valid given to investigative news website the gray zone project highlights. news of integrity during the probe follows revelations by 2 other watchdog employees stressing the same issue they also question the findings of the final o p c w reports which in effect pinned blame on the assad government auntie's because they have sift through the evidence. we like magine that these massive google organizations the un the i.m.f. the u.p.c. w. these juggernauts good but knives that at the end of the day what they do is good for mankind but as with many things in life you take a closer look and you're left the supported one whistleblower saying the u.p.c. w. was biased corrupt well he could be wrong just an opinion to whistleblowers saying the same thing makes you think could they be right u.p.c. w.
7:08 am
says no ignore them space is a and b. not whistleblowers they were individuals who could not accept that their views were not backed by evidence as could be expected their conclusions are uninformed and brum sure one whistleblower could be wrong too well could be wrong but when it's 3 when it's 5 when it's a dozen whistle blows you know something's rotten. i share those behind the crimes that have been perpetrated in the name of humanity and democracy they will not hesitate to do harm to me and my family just what the hell is going on at the o.p.c. w. what could be so terrifying that its own employees are afraid for their lives and feel their employer could target them and their families it isn't just one individual it's others too whose crimes were that they would just doing their jobs
7:09 am
i submitted a requests to the team leader i asked i repeated this request a number of times all requests were declined or simply ignored just the guy doing his job what it said in the job description at what was a respectable organization according to testimony given at the un that's not what the u.p.c. w. the management wanted all requests were denied the responses i received included this is too big don't make yourself a martyr i deposited a dossier requesting an investigation months later i was informed that nothing would be done i requested a meeting with the director general as i thought the situation was serious enough to warrant him being made aware of it the request for a meeting was denied and i was informed by a senior manager that you will never get to the director general and if you try to go around me to get to him there will be consequences but don't you think the u.p.c. w. hasn't learned that lesson it has it isn't the lesson you and me might think of you
7:10 am
know being more honest the lesson they learned is everyone everyone working for them needs to learn to keep their mouths shut and additional bigotry organization wide confidentiality training program will be instituted for all personnel employed by the secretariat this training will be accompanied by annual are to stations and just in case anyone anyone gets any smart ideas in. the future the bosses over the u.p.c. w. could always show them this letter and tell them this is what happens to you when you dare speak out against the u p c w i don't want to expose myself or my family to their violence and revenge i don't want to live in fear of crossing the street. was mentioned your procedure when you went public in doubting the productivity of the 1st 2 whistleblowers we have asked
7:11 am
the international chemical weapons watchdog for comments on the allegations we await their response. london's metropolitan police facing a backlash since announcing plans to use live facial recognition cameras and it's seen a sudden burst of interest in make up known as dazzle camouflage artists chad was dashed with some of the campaigners. make up i says me 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 of your 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 art work because they would be proud of himself well that's an

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 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 so it could be that actually you know your lipstick goes away this way in the right kind of bennett scaring not in 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 a right let's look at it i think it's against our 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 a widely acknowledged legislation so all of this data is being collected whether the dazzle club or a small step only pull way from bowing down to big brother the cessna sporting the snoop a snooping shouted with the r t london. so the u.k.

teenage girls they will stay in britain that's pending an appeal by the government which is concerned that they might pose a threat to the public but for now they have been reprieved as the appeals judge ruled that they haven't been given access to legal advice or a phone the u.k. government however says that it regrets the court came to that decision and stressed that it will act to remove serious offenders who aren't british the offenses which these people were responsible for include one manslaughter one firearms offense 7 violent offenses 2 which are in the category of rape or sexual offenses and 14 drugs offenses we make no apology whatsoever for seeking to remove syria's foreign national offenders. we've got reaction from human rights lawyer served on a political commentator andrew walker on whether the legal technicality should keep violent offenders from being deported. this is not a regs issue they supposedly protection issue and it's also a rights issue people talk time and time again about your rights

7:20 am
a certain way but after that doesn't mean that we should separate them and essentially destroy their family lives forever and that's the point in the only looking at the end this is that at the moment in the sparrow the moment you commits an act of manslaughter or killing somebody in the spur of the moment go back. palestinian president has formally rejected donald trump's middle east peace plan speaking at the u.n. security council mahmoud abbas dismissed the proposal as a reward for occupation adding it would leave palestine literally full of holes like swiss cheese. this is the state that they will give us which is like swiss cheese which of you will accept such a state. but didn't the fuses to be pragmatic if you do this to negotiate even not interested in finding a valid exclusion to the conflict i have come to you to call for a just peace on behalf of the palestinians that is all i have come to you today to
