have reports. we like to imagine that these massive google organizations the un the i.m.f. the u.p.c. w. these juggernauts a 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.b.c. w. says no ignore them space is an a and b. a nots whistle blowers they were individuals who could not accept that their views were not backed by evidence as could be expected their conclusions are uninformed and brohm sure one whistleblower could be wrong too well could be wrong but when
9:03 pm
it's 3 when it's 5 when it's a dozen whistle blows you know something's rotten. 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 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
9:04 pm
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 know being more honest the lesson they learned is everyone everyone working for them needs to learn to keep their debts he mouths shut and additional bigotry organization wide confidentiality training program will be instituted for
9:05 pm
all personnel employed by the secretary and this training will be accompanied by annual are to stations and just in case anyone anyone gets any smart ideas or. 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. as mentioned the o.p.c. w. went public and doubting the credibility of the 1st 2 whistleblowers we've asked the watchdog to comment on the allegations 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're among 25 violent criminals who avoided deportation to jamaica this week following a last minute legal challenge one of those a 25 year managed to avoid the deportation back to jamaica stabbed
9:06 pm
a man to death fitzroy daly is currently serving a 10 year sentence while fabian henry is behind bars for raping 2 teenage girls they'll stay in britain pending an appeal by the government which is concerns they might pose a threat to the public but for now they've been reprieved as the appeals judge rules there may have been an issue with their access to legal advice now the u.k. government said it would continue 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 2 which are in the category of rape or sexual offenses and 14 drug offenses we make no apology whatsoever for seeking to remove serious foreign national offenders we debated whether legal technicalities should keep violent offenders from being but were deported. this is not say regs they supposedly protection issue and it's also
9:07 pm
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 any 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've been in prison they didn't have permission to then why have we not been able to be have billeted then why haven't we not been able to reduce the chances a real finding 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 a duty for my taxes to be paid on these sorts of people get
9:08 pm
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 ought 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 abuse go how many of these people they were not given the right to make their legal claims there is no legal aid for such cases anymore and 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 are separating them from them permanently we do not have a duty to law and support and trust and respect people who came to this country to abuse extraordinary if that sounds brutal i don't care anyone. ever can be put in a situation where the you know in the spirit of the moment the they act in
9:09 pm
a certain way but out of that doesn't mean that we should separate them and essentially destroy their family lives whatever and that's the point really in the in the in the only looking at other way and this is out of the moment in the sparrow the moment you commit an arch about slaughter and killing somebody in the spur of the moment go back. washington's nato representative has claimed russia and china have cyber attacked every single member of the alliance and that the world must strengthen its firewalls against moscow and beijing meanwhile the report has revealed that the cia and its german counterpart richt made encryption machines back in the 1970 s. it allowed them to spiral embassies and government institutions in over 100 countries for decades but of course one has more details. the washington post is calling it the intelligence coup of the century the cia working with west german secret services pulling the strings of a swiss and christian company and stealing government secrets from over 120
9:10 pm
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 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
9:11 pm
bombing of a burl in 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 a 29 year old intelligence contractor who leaked top secret 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
9:12 pm
national security agency has developed is built an infrastructure they could intercept almost everything. national security agency there in the united states allegedly spying on quite vast amounts of citizens 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 devices things like android phones only julian assange. accusing the
9:13 pm
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 then and 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 its 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 were turned into covert. microphone's even their own citizens aren't safe now increasingly we see that it's happening domestically and to do that. the n.s.a.
9:14 pm
specifically targets the communications of everyone in just some by default it collects them it's stunning it filters them and it analyzes them and measures them and stores them for periods of time simply because that's the easiest most efficient and most valuable way to achieve snowden took the revelations about crypto eiji 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. now to developments in the corona virus outbreak which has been officially named as covert 19 this week has been marked by the disease is 1st fatal case outside of asia and europe an 80 year old chinese tourist from who bay province the epicenter of the virus died in france meanwhile the world health organization will be gates fueling hysteria around the
9:15 pm
situation earlier this week the agency's executive director refusing to downplay the threat noted the disease can be overcome so far the total death toll has risen to nearly $1700.00 with the number of infected around $69000.00. 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 they had noticed a change in attitude. terrible loss we feel. sadness and sorrow but i don't think people should be targeted or paid on the basis of. thinking. putting people into captivity into a box if you're going to sleep in this is chinatown in the center of london it's going to be one of the most popular destinations by locals and tourists alike but today as you can see 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
9:16 pm
elders chinese community creep in chinatown has been handling the backlash against the corona virus and the fear factor is clear. i mean. 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. mother because we were standing normally consider it bolivar to get the. most 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 people just absurd to suppose for young children because i. didn't hear a lot of complaining from the parents the children got picked up.
9:17 pm
children just don't understand that student here hear from their own parents when they called school going to see chinese students or young young children these are so the new you because you might have a virus education for imported lawless' of important people understand that. the. transport the global problem here so are the 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 the things that go on in the eastern world has 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 say the things that they're actually have been fed for a very long time are probably out that they harbor they have these feelings anyway and it just gives people a platform to say what they want because this fear and i feel like it's just a very boring hard time right now for the chinese people i feel like using
9:18 pm
the disease. way to be seen as somebody who's just terrible. if it was somewhere from the usa i don't think people would treat people americans coming over the same way as they are treated chinese people and chinese students in central los crazy i mean you can see that we reported here on the 1st 2 cases chinese to the other cases in which people come from singapore so you can see that . 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. are to. increase the migrant crisis has become a battleground between authorities and n.g.o.s operating there organizations have
9:19 pm
been accused of inciting hatred and violence between locals and refugees. there is a galaxy. 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 the island of low sponsors as seen constant protests since camps was that up to handle the migrant influx large rallies have often turned violent just last week police were called into action to disperse crowds well slow cause if they agree with the governments that n.g.o.s are making matters worse. we all know what. they're behind this bad situation we can understand the migrants we cannot leave just watching them killing our animals something fired to the fields and destroying all the trees that we had here for years and years now. but yes the ngos are behind
9:20 pm
this bad situation we know they do this for money of course they are not all the same it all here are some details about that large makeshift camp in question on less bus it was originally built to host 3000 migrants but the number is 6 times higher with little or no access to health care the un has called for urgent action stressing the camp should be moving some of the residents out and meanwhile the bigger picture is the deepening crisis the deepening refugee crisis across greece a country that's been on the front line for years last year it was estimated that $74000.00 migrants reached greek shores and more than half of them remain in camps scattered across various locations greece doesn't see an end in sight either with the country expecting up to $100000.00 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 back in and around the country many of them are very
9:21 pm
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 to help the 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 try to control all the secretary to solve this and this government has passed the new law in the parliament a few days ago according to which 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 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. as
9:22 pm
he has contacted several n.g.o.s for comment the boat refugee foundation denies any of the greek allegations saying it focuses solely on humanitarian work it's also called on conditions at refugee camps to be improved. facebook boss mark zuckerberg has called for tighter government regulation of online content saying it shouldn't be left to private companies his comments came during 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 should be drawn is there should be more guidance and regulation from the states during a speech that said his company already employed 35000 people to review content on security on the platform with more than a 1000000 fake accounts taken down on
9:23 pm
a daily basis however in recent years facebook has come under fire for helping to spread fake news along with its policy on political advertising we raise the issue with privacy activists bill knew who questioned how such a policy could work i think 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 employ somebody is going to just like 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 elsewhere there are different regulations in a country we have 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 privacy regulations
9:24 pm
and when it comes to look at online homes 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 since revealing plans to use life facial recognition cameras so they're prepared to surge of interest in makeup known as dazzle camouflage shiny edwards daschle has the details. make up i says never learn on a daily basis but i don't think i rely on it as worse 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 a whole new level.
9:25 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 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 advances in facial recognition a moving piece of ava's into a new a while in phase the doesn't clip started as
9:26 pm
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 for. people with us we don't tell you all that is 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 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 troy and with the
9:27 pm
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 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 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 it you know when we have a right to understanding the 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
9:28 pm
a very big a 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 snoop a snooping shouted with the r t london thanks for joining us here on c.n.n. international we're back at the top of the hour with the latest headlines. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy to confront a shouldn't let it be an arms race on all fronts the very dramatic developments only really going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk.
9:29 pm
9:30 pm
i don't trust medical authority at all ever and the reason for that is i had this horrible autoimmune disorder growing up and it turns out it was completely alleviated with very drastic dietary measures and i went to a number of doctors to discuss what happened to me and i was basically laughed at like diet has nothing to do with our immune disorders so my suggestion to people who have health issues they can't figure out if they're going to see a medical professional and they've been going for 10 years and they're still. the same place they should probably take it upon themselves to start testing things out testing out diet testing out exercise and try and figure out things on their own.
