11:04 pm
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 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 idea. as 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 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 in doubting the credibility of the 1st 2 whistleblowers we've also 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 day is among 25 violent criminals who avoided deportation to jamaica this week following a last minute legal challenge one of those $25.00 who managed to avoid the deportation back to jamaica stabbed a man to death fitzroy daly is currently serving

a 10 year sentence while fabian henry is they have behind bars for raping 2 teenage girls in britain pending an appeal by the government which is concerned they might pose a threat to the public but the now they have been reprieved as the appeals judge ruled there may have been an issue with their access to legal advice the u.k. government said it would continue to act to remove serious offenders who are not british the offenses 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 may no apology whatsoever for seeking to remove serious foreign national offenders and we debated whether legal technicalities should keep violent offenders from being deported. this is not say regs 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
11:07 pm
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 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 a grip of yourself look if you wish to come to the united kingdom in order to do
11:08 pm
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 thing the point here 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 their children british families here and reception are 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 extraordinary if that sounds brutal i don't anyone. ever can be put in a situation where the you know in the spur of the moment the they act in a certain way but out of that doesn't mean that we should have read them and
11:09 pm
essentially destroyed their family lives forever and that's the point we need in the in the in the only looking at other way and this is out of the moment in the spur of the moment you commit an act about slaughter 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 well meanwhile the report has revealed that the cia and its german counterpart rigged swiss made encryption machines back in the 1970 s. it allowed them to spy on embassies and government institutions in over 100 countries for decades the hard quarter 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 countries foreign governments were paying good money to the us and was germany for
11:10 pm
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.d. 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 bombing of a burl in disco although the c.i. a and b. and d.
11:11 pm
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 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 to build an infrastructure they could intercept
11:12 pm
almost everything. national security agency there in the united states allegedly spying on quite vast amounts citizens data the group trying to find 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. and julian assange and london accusing the cia of devastating incompetence saying the agency has lost control of its cyber
11:13 pm
weapons 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. microphones even their own citizens aren't safe now increasingly we see that it's happening domestically and to do that. the n.s.a. specifically targets the communications of everyone in just some by default it
11:14 pm
collects them in that system and 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 these snowden took the revelations about crypto eiji even further comparing it with a 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 the week has been marked by the disease is 1st fatal case outside of asia in europe an 18 year old chinese tourist from a province the epicenter of the virus died in france meanwhile the world health organization warned against feeling hysteria around the situation early this week the agency's executive director of refusing to downplay the threats noted noted the
11:15 pm
disease can be overcome so far the total death toll has risen to nearly $1700.00 with the number of infected around $69000.00 while against the backdrop of panic people of asian descent are increasingly becoming the target of racist abuse well speak plain london's chinatown if they've noticed a change in attitude. terrible loss we feel. sadness and sorrow but i don't think people should be targeted or paid off because i. think you. put in people into a category into a box and think it's a dangerous way of thinking 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 oldest
11:16 pm
chinese community group 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 a normal guess what happened. beside me and i thought 1st. mother because we were standing normally. sit on the part of the day i got to stop. 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 a lot of complaining from the parents the children got picked up. children just don't understand that student here hear from their own parents when the call school or when it's each other's student or young young children these are
11:17 pm
so the you you because you might have for virus education for important the lawless of important people understand that. the. transport and 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 the disease. way to be 0 for this is just terrible. you know
11:18 pm
if it was somewhere from the usa i don't think people treat people americans coming over the same way as they are treated chinese people and chinese students etc crazy i mean you can see that we reported here the 1st 2 cases chinese today 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. r.t. . and greece the migrant crisis has become a battleground between all thora teas and n.g.o.s operating their organizations have been accused of inciting hatred and violence between locals and refugees.
11:19 pm
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 they are leeches and these practices . all of this contributes to illegal migration the island of los bosses in constant protest since camps 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 well so locals if they agree with the government that n.g.o.s are making matters worse. but like you moon we all know. that behind this bad situation you can understand the migrants we cannot leave just watching them killing our animals searching fire to the fields and destroying all the trees that we had here for years and years now. but yes the ngos are behind
11:20 pm
this bad situation we know they do this for money of course they are not over saying it but here are some of the details about that large makeshift camp in question unless also it was originally built to host 3000 migrants but the number there at the moment 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 well meanwhile the bigger picture is the deepening crisis across greece as a country that's been at the front line for years last year it was estimated this 74000 migrants reached greek shores and more than half of them remain in camps scattered across various locations greece that doesn't see an end in sight either with the country expecting up to $100000.00 more asylum seekers in the coming year we hope from regional and local officials in an area heavily affected by the crisis . we have about 450 n.g.o.s. in the country many of them very active on the island where the problem. exists and that some of them are doing
11:21 pm
a very good job with the help of the our government people but also some of them are really very obscure and we don't know where they coming from how they deal with the money where they receive money from how they spend their money so we have been asking the government to act strictly and right to control all the secretary to solve this and this government has by staying in the parliament a few days ago according to its there will be a strict control of the indios a part of 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. r.t. has contacted several n.g.o.s for comment the boat refugee foundation denies any of
11:22 pm
the greek allegations saying it focuses solely on humanitarian work it's also called on conditions at refugee camps to be improved. now 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 though 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 we are where the winds in my opinion should be drawn is there should be more guidance and regulation from the states during his speech that burke said his company already employed 35000 people to review content and security on the platform with more than a 1000000 fake accounts taken down on a daily basis however in recent years facebook has come under fire for helping to
11:23 pm
spread fake news along with its policy on political advertising we raise the issue with privacy activists build new questions 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 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 it 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 proposed regulation 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
11:24 pm
critical comments about judaism but they would take a great offense at any critical comments about islam or the qur'an 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 clancy is live facial recognition cameras also provoked a surge of interest to make out known as camouflage shoddy 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 much as 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.
11:25 pm
looks like a 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 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 events into a new a while in phase doesn't clip started as a response to study. about facial recognition being used on the
11:26 pm
cross. 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 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
11:27 pm
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 too do you think it's an invasion of human rights or do you think i think you have a right as a you think it's again i don't humor you know when we have a right to understanding where 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
