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 you 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 well as mentioned the o.p.c. daily did go public in doubting the credibility of the 1st 2 whistleblowers we have asked the watchdog to comment on all of the allegations although so far they haven't responded. the british government has warned that both a killer and a rapist could be released back onto the streets within days they are among 25 violent criminals who avoided deportation to jamaica this week following a last minute legal challenge one of those 25 who managed to avoid deportation back
2:06 pm
to jamaica stabbed a man to death literally daily is currently serving a 10 year sentence while they've been entries behind bars for raping 2 teenage girls they'll stay in britain pending an appeal by the government which is concerned they might pose a threat to the public but for now they have been reprieved as the appeals judge ruled that there may have been an issue with that access to legal advice the u.k. government said it would continue though to act to remove serious offenders who are not british defenses which these people responsible for include one month slaughter one firearms offense 7 violent offenses to which are in the category of rape or sexual offenses and 14 drugs offenses we make no apology whatsoever for seeking to remove serious foreign national offenders but we debated whether legal technicalities should keep violent offenders from being deported. this is not say
2:07 pm
regs issue they supposedly protection issue and it's also a rights issue people talk time and time again about your rights a family life your right to live in the united kingdom you don't have a right to live in the united kingdom or less your sits in the united kingdom just like any other british national just as anyone else in the u.k. they committed a crime they said their punishment they were convicted sentence they serve their time now after that they should be allowed to come home to their family they have british spouses british parents british children british families it is not my responsibility to pay for a foreign national to commit crime in my country many of these people they committed a single offense many years ago since then i mean obviously if we had the that just shows how little trust we have in our own criminal justice system they been in prison they would have probation since then why have not been able to rehabilitate them why haven't we not been able to reduce the chances are reaffirming that is the responsibility of the government i don't have a duty to deal with the world's worst people i don't have
2:08 pm
a duty for my taxes to be paid on these sorts of people get a grip of yourself look if you wish to come to the united kingdom in order to do a job it all to raise a family it all to be a reasonable person i love you if you wish to come to this country it ought to sell drugs beat people up rape murder pillage other buz go how many of these people they were not given the right to make their legal claims is no legal aid for such cases anymore people who can't afford lawyers aren't able to claim their legal rights and that's why there was an additional in the pointer is not just why are we deporting black people the point is why every deporting criminals who have committed relatively minor offenses and relatively short criminal sentences when they have children british families here and reception separating them from them permanently we do not have a duty to loaf and support and trust and respect people who came to this country to abuse a strawberry if that sounds brutal i don't care anyone. ever can be put in
2:09 pm
a situation where the you know in the spur of the moment they act in 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 really in the in the in the only looking at other way and this is where the moment in the spur of the moment you commits an act of manslaughter or killing somebody in the spur of the moment go back. now washington's nato representative has claimed that russia and china between them have cyber attacks every single alliance member and they have also said the world must strengthen its 5 wars against moscow and beijing meanwhile a report has revealed that the cia and its german counterpart rigged swiss made encryption machines back in the 1970 s. allowing them to spy on embassies and government interest to sions in 120 countries for decades one quarter as more details. the washington post is calling it the intelligence coup of the century the cia working with west german secret services
2:10 pm
pulling the strings of a swiss and christian company and stealing government secrets from over 120 countries foreign governments were paying good money to the us and was germany for the privilege of having their most secret communications read by at least 2 foreign countries it was a foolproof operation 1st called the saurus and later renamed rubicon for over half a century of the company crypto a.g.t. was a captain of the world's encryption industry based in neutral switzerland most governments were quick to believe their secrets were in safe hands little did they know the cia and west germany's b.m.d. had co-opted the company's founder to create a backdoor into the world's best kept secrets in 1988 western spies had complete access to the egyptian president's communications with cairo during the camp david peace talks with israel a year later washington was spying on
2:11 pm
a rainy and officials during the hostage crisis and as late as 1986 u.s. intelligence was listening to libyan officials congratulate each other for the bombing of a berlin disco although the c.i. a and b. and d. weren't able to hook their main rivals russia and china had enough foresight to look elsewhere for their encryption needs nowadays though those 2 are the scapegoats for all of the west's cyber woes if you see throughout our alliance every one of our countries has had side by and hybrid attacks from russia some from china for washington it's become a routine to point the finger at russia and china but it's not like u.s. intelligence operations have wound down since then on the contrary they've adapted . edward snowden is the 29 year old intelligence contractor who leaked top secret
2:12 pm
national security agency information revealing the incredible extent to which the u.s. government is monitoring and keeping records of not just our phone calls the national security agency has developed has built an infrastructure they could intercept almost everything. national security agency there in the united states allegedly spying on quite vast amounts of. data the group by president obama who is reviewing the washington spying program has largely defended it although the program had not prevented a terrorist attack it was still vital to homeland security. the central intelligence agency has lost control of highly classified documents and computer code about the cia's technical capability to carry out into electronic
2:13 pm
devices things like android phones i phones and julian assange. accusing the cia of devastating incompetence saying the agency has lost control of its cyber weapons it doesn't matter who you are friend or foe they're coming for your secrets . i have since we started talking about them to see always made it clear to the u.s. president that spying among friends is not acceptable and if you take wiki leaks vault 7 documents into consideration it makes operation rubicon look like child's play the scope and direction of the cia's global covert hacking program it's malware arsenal and dozens of 0 day weaponized exploits against a wide range of u.s. and european company products include apple's i phone google's android and microsoft's windows and even samsung t.v.'s which are turned into covert. microphone's even their own citizens aren't safe now increasingly we see that it's
2:14 pm
happening domestically and to do that. the n.s.a. specifically targets the communications of everyone even just some by default it collects them in its stomach it filters them and it analyzes the minute measures them and it stores them for periods of time simply because that's the easiest most efficient and most valuable way to achieve these snowden took the revelations about crypto a.g. even further comparing it with the formerly secret $10000000.00 contract between the n.s.a. and a major u.s. computer security firm it begs the question what info grabbing operations are still going on right now under our noses. developments in the corona virus outbreak which has been officially named 19 the week has been marked by the disease is 1st fatal case outside of asia in europe an 80 year old chinese tourist from
2:15 pm
a province the epicenter of the virus died in france meanwhile the world health organization mourned against feuding hysteria around the situation early this week the agency's executive director refusing to downplay the threat noted that the disease can be overcome so the total death toll has risen to the 1700 the number of infected around 69000 well against the backdrop of panic people of asian descent are increasingly becoming the targets of racist abuse we asked people in london's chinatown if it noticed a change in attitude. terrible loss we feel. sadness and sorrow but i don't think people should be targeted or hated on because it's something i think it should be putting people into account to get into the box and think it's dangerously this is chinatown in the center of london it's going to be one of them . it's popular destinations by locals and tourists alike but today as you can see
2:16 pm
it's very quiet and the reason for that well after talking to locals and people on the streets they say it's plain and simple xenophobia the oldest chinese community group in chinatown has been handling the backlash against the corona virus and the fear factor is clear. what about your personal experiences i think it was last thursday i was to train to work as normal guess what happened is also beside me and i thought 1st was the. matter because we were standing normally. sit. because i'm trying these and people think oh i mean he be a potential carrier. what kind of reaction have you had from own members of your community a lot of people just absurd to suppose for young children because i. didn't hear
2:17 pm
a lot of complaint from parents to chew up. children just don't understand kids shouldn't hear hear from their own parents when the call of school or when to see chinese students or young children this is so the you you because so you you might have a virus education for important lawless' of important people understand that. the. auto trans problem the global problem here so other one thing the people with the thing that just because you're trying to or your piece of chinese your prudence who carries the way that we've documented things that go on in the eastern world is always it's always been told like that anyway it's always been around a think the moment like something like this happens like there's a virus it just allows people to see the things that they're actually being fed for a very long time are probably out that they harbor they happy to be in any way just . gives people a platform to say what they want because this fear i feel like it's just
2:18 pm
a very horrid hard time right now for the chinese people i feel like using the disease. way to be easier for this is just terrible. if it was summer from the usa i don't think people would treat people americans coming over the same way as they are treating chinese people and chinese students etc crazy i mean our i mean you can see that we tend to see the 1st 2 cases chinese to the other cases in which people come from singapore so you can see that they did they don't own cars or you could be and human being can be can be carriers we have seen this before and now the coronavirus has instigated another wave of racism despite there being only a small number of cases confirmed in the u.k. and there's no doubt that the effect on the british chinese community has had huge implications. r.t.
2:19 pm
. to greece now where the markham crisis has become a battleground between authorities and n.g.o.s operating there organizations have been accused of inciting hatred and violence between locals and refugees. there is a galaxy of dodgy n.g.o.s operating alongside a network of doctors lawyers and other people making a mint out of the human misery of these people very are leeches and these practices must all of this contributes to illegal migration. and of those bosses seen constant protests in scams were set up to handle the migrant influx large rallies have often turned violent just last week police were called into action to disperse crowds we asked locals if they agree with the government that n.g.o.s are making matters worse. but you know we all know what about there behind this bad
2:20 pm
situation our village we can understand the migrants but we cannot leave just watching them killing our animals setting fire to the fields and do it destroying all the trees that we had here for years and years now. but yes the ngos are behind this bad situation we know they do this for money of course they are not all the same. well here are some details about the large makeshift camp in question or less bass it was originally built to house 3000 migrants but the number there is now 6 times higher with little or no access to health care the un has called for urgent action stressing that the camp should be moving some of the residents out meanwhile the bigger picture is actually the refugee crisis across greece a country that has been on the front line for years and the problem is the printing last year it was estimated that $74000.00 migrants reached greek shores more than half of them remain in camps scattered across various locations greece doesn't see
2:21 pm
an end in sight either with the country expecting up to $10000.00 more asylum seekers in the coming year we heard from regional and local officials in an area heavily affected by the crisis. we have about 450 n.g.o.s active in and around the country many of them are very active on the islands where the immigration problem exists and some of them are doing a very good job with the help of the our government people but also some of them are really very obscure and ceo's we don't know where they're coming from how they deal with the money where they receive money from how they spend the money so we have been asking the government to act strictly and to right to control all the sect of abuse of this and this government has passed the new law in the parliament a few days ago i couldn't do it there will be a strict control of the indios part of corn my personal opinion is that everybody knows we have n.g.o.s that help with the situation and others that help the
2:22 pm
migrants to protest there are also religious n.g.o.s who are helping by giving food to poor and vulnerable people i don't have evidence to prove that they are behind any negative actions but i am sure that there is more here than meets the eye r.t. has contacted several n.g.o.s for comment on this story the refugee foundation denies any of the greek allegations saying it does focus solely on humanitarian work it also called on conditions at refugee camps to be imperfect. facebook. has called for tighter government regulation on the off online content saying it shouldn't be left to private companies as comments campaign trying an address at this week's munich security conference i do think that we don't want private companies making so many decisions about how to balance social equity use without a more democratic process so i think that where where the lines in my opinion
2:23 pm
should be drawn is there should be more guidance and regulation from the states. or during his speech their 2nd post said his company already employed 35000 people to review content and security on the platform with more than a 1000000 fake accounts being taken down on a daily basis however in recent years facebook has come under fire for helping to spread fake news along with its policy of political advertising we raised the issue with a pretty activist bill me who questioned how such a policy could work on a global level i think facebook are very reluctant to bear the responsibility with coming up with the rules themselves because whichever rules that they come up with and then seek to apply somebody is going to dislike that the problem is if you say well the state should define the rules which states are we talking about because the viewpoint in europe is going to be very different from the viewpoint of the u.s. which will again be different from the viewpoint and else we're there are different
2:24 pm
regulations in the country we are g.d.p. are here in the u.k. we have a new privacy regulation in california that possibly will be federal regulation the u.s. to come and then there are other countries developing their own groups regulations and when it comes to look at online holmes who defines what is harmful because if we were sitting in the middle east it would be hardly uncommon for there to be critical comments about judaism but they would take a great offense at any critical comments about islam or the koran it is very much the viewpoint of the eye of the beholder and who gets to set these rules is going to be a very difficult question. london's metropolitan police have been facing a backlash intervening plans to use life facial recognition cameras it's also provoked to a surge of interest in makeup known as dazzle camouflage to explain more his shadowy edward dashed. make up i says never learn on
2:25 pm
a daily basis but i don't think i rely on it as much as these guys this is a doesn't know. 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 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
2:26 pm
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 2 does eclipse started as a response to study. about fresh recognition being used on construction sites and we've spent a lot of time on things for. people with us we don't tell you all there's a camera there's a camera at the end of the war it's 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
2:27 pm
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 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 makeup 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 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 but whether the docile club or a small step or leap away from bowing down to big brother the cessna sporting the psni the snooping shouted with the r t london and that is the weekly for this good to have a company move from us in about 30 minutes. you. eat. eat. eat eat.
