was. francis much anticipated coby tracing app is used to send just 14 or simply 3 weeks that is half a 1000000 users delete it from there we search the streets of paris to find somebody who is using. no no no no no no no we took the 5th. america's reputation in europe is dealt a big blow by its handling of the corona virus a new poll suggests is the u.s. it's an all time high of code cases cropping up 40000 on thursday alone and more companies joining we call facebook failing to take down hate speech and are reluctant to take down some of the trump controversial posts however

a new under cover of paul has already suggested censuring conservatives and the president and the russia and palestine call on israel to scrap its annexation plan backed by the u.s. amid fears it will have a huge impact on hopes for peace. hello there good morning it is saturday the 27th of june watching r.t. international where it's just gone 9 o'clock am in moscow now a coronavirus tracing app that was rolled out in france has alerted just 14 uses about their potential exposure over the course of the last 3 weeks that is despite the country recording many new cases of the virus every day charted when ski looks now where the people are just too reluctant to download it or if the problem is with the app itself. star coded. it was

supposed to be a bright idea that could help prevent a 2nd wave of infections and on your smartphone that uses bluetooth signals to keep track of the devices and therefore the people that you come into contact with and when it was more a few weeks ago the french digital minister said it could also to a flying start as of this morning 600000 people managed to download the app so it's a very very good start. well after a few hiccups perhaps including a delayed release that so many people in france accidentally downloading another tracing up one for catalonia. ok so after a cold start some 2000000 people actually did download it corowa you might think that given that there are an estimated 47000000 people in france was smart phones

that's barely a dip in the ocean ok some 2000000 people die. but almost immediately 460000 men decided that it wasn't a great idea and deleted it so we've got much on to the streets of paris to find out who took the plot. number 2 no no no no no no we do the thing. yes somebody who is actually down loaded it but then she said this is it if yes i don't looted it but i didn't really understand how it worked every time i tried to use it nothing so raw you were is this a true resistance to an up that was only supposed to keep you safe from the biggest threat the more world has ever apparently seen. take precautionary

measures like a mosque but so i have a problem with giving my personal data for this application it's for that reason i didn't download it the. need to have it with a younger generation i wasn't interested in like younger flew around oh it was a war if you actually. didn't take the time to download it to leave in a safe way for example i did bike and still think it's a natural assume i press but i don't need a lot of people i don't have the need to don't load it because it's centralized i plainly and truthfully i'm quite wary of what would be done with my data. and the phone the. principle behind the that issue of the personal data really had the french in much more civil rights activists were concerned about a right to the right to privacy while hundreds of academics voiced fears that they take out those could be repurposed for us surveillance but perhaps they had nothing

to worry about off the or was it since emerged that only iran $68.00 people in the platform that they had been infected with covert and only 14 uses were alerted that they were at risk that's not going down well with those we spoke with we. were usually yes or no in that for 2 years not many it was only 14 people who are in terms of some composers it's not as successful as hosts by the authorities i think that people were a bit wary about this exchange a limo bus would you continue to pay for something you don't use no i don't think say paying for something which is not used should also question. clearly delete is the other thing that nobody was thinking the up would work anyway france is digital minister has been trying to save face saying the numbers were flecked a decrease in the fire. this is prevalent and this is true the numbers of

infections have been steadily declining in france centric oh says the uk will be useful if there's a new spike in cases until then the french state looks set to pick up a bill of up to $120000.00 euros a month for an app that we are using challah g. will ski r.t. . meanwhile the u.s. has set an all time high daily high for cope with 900 cases reaching 40000 new infections on thursday those figures were revealed by johns hopkins university the previous high was back on april the 24th when 36400 cases were recorded the u.s. still tops the global infection chart with 2400000 confirmed cases this new surge though has seen a pause placed on reopening plans in several states including texas florida and also arizona despite all of that though president trump is still convinced his

country is coping fine with a pandemic. we have the greatest testing program in the world we've developed it over. and we're up to almost 30000000 terrorists that means we're going to have more cases if we do want to test or if we didn't as we wouldn't have cases but we have cases because we test deaths. we have one of the lowest mortality rates we've done an incredible historic. well the mortality rate does put the us in 7th place globally with almost $400.00 deaths per $1000000.00 infections is being put down to young people testing positive especially in states in the south and west of the country the way the coronavirus has been handled in the u.s. there has dealt a blow to the country's reputation in europe apparently a new survey to show that 56 percent of those polled in 9 countries believe that america's image has worsened during the pandemic while just 6 percent believe it

has improved we are some europeans for their views. they don't have such an effective medical system as others do. the social security system in america differs from ours who is a mormon europe does better but it isn't united. for now i prefer to be french sorry then american the good health system and health care system so it makes it better and makes us happy to be in france right now but at the same time i can't really judge them like it's not we haven't like to deal with it as of yet it's not finished it's not over and you can see french people partying in doing. music festival and stuff so we are not better actually we cannot really compare. the new group everybody mostly reacted in the common way only germany maybe suffered. comparing casual interest in france. with america.

it's difficult to say. now i think it also for the united states to have managed kawiti one time poorly are in fact it is enough to count the dead so i believe we have control we don't manage the damage that are set. it up this is a funny look and damage to america's was not taken seriously a person like truong has done nothing yet he was able to build the supply shooting out mexicans i suppose he wasn't so capable of fighting the foreigners who could have done do not instead underestimate the haitian when you are separated so i believe that we can all just we're just going to say this is a large country that has a different door from us there's different economic sources and a different population we too have made on the state books that show this for the govt demands it see the united states government for me in the america the culture

is just maybe it's because they live if they did it draws with it the the private system the private goat system is an affective to respond to this type of global emergency. by facebook is facing a huge boycott from lucrative advertisers who do believe it isn't doing enough to fail to hate speech by surprise that is donald trump that has a lot to do with their fury but a new on the cover report by project there a task to show that the social media giant has actually been centering the president for some time jackie vega explains. oh how the mighty have fallen ok maybe not fallen but facebook and other platforms that owns like instagram are getting hit where it hurts by an advertising boycott led by civil rights groups in the u.s. every day we see ads from companies place to jason's to hateful content occupying the same space as extremist recruitment groups and harmful disinclination campaigns you add buying dollars being used by the conference to increase its dominance in

the industry at the expense of vulnerable and marginalized communities who are often targets of hate groups on facebook that started out small but as the days go by bigger and more powerful companies like ne viber are dropping their ads and things really got kicked up a notch when verizon join the fray a company that reportedly spent almost $2000000.00 on advertising on the 2 platforms just last month now this is all a push in order to get the social media giant to increase moderation on its side could protect and support black uses could they called out holocaust denial as hate could they help gets out the vote but absolutely could but they're actively choosing not to do so let's send facebook a powerful message your profits will never be worth promoting hates bigotry racism anti-semitism and violence and a large number of facebook employees seem to agree with that just a couple weeks ago they conducted a virtual walkout after the us president wrote a post that was deemed by many to be inciting violence after the incidents occur

burke said that the company would be reviewing its policies but also cautioned against new forms of moderation in general i worry that this approach has a risk of leading us to editorialize on content we don't like even if it doesn't violate our policies so i think we need to proceed very carefully and yet that's just the problem the company seems to have a new undercover report has once again revealed an anti trump left leaning bias at the company i worked as a subcontractor for facebook i was seeing them interfering on a global level. elections and then i saw a play an exception that just targeting conservatives or favored liberals we really have to take the word from. the left side yes. from outside of the realist which is the middle of the long political ads though so now they can get more exposure to the left there is the right right but facebook obviously had to

give 100 percent believe to fight line in conservative opinions and meddling and elections crazy right so if you come as no surprise that the right isn't happy with social media giants either twitter royally ticked off trump when they put a label on a couple of his posts warning that they could be potentially misleading he responded with executive order to 30 choices the twitter makes one it uses to suppress a blacklist shadow and our editorial decisions pure and simple their editorial decisions in those moments twitter seasons to be a neutral public platform and they become an editor with a viewpoint and i think we can say that about other source and whether you're looking to google whether you look at in facebook social media companies that engage in censoring or any political content will not be able to keep their liability shield and now a number of users are calling it quits and link the platforms that call themselves on bias that remains to be seen but in light of all this something tells me that dr

burke is ruing the day he ever even enter the thought of regulating content on a site all my name a fighting russian metal one of my greatest regrets in running the company is that we were slow in identifying the russian information operations in 2016 we were slow to identifying the type of new information operations ever since then the debate over what's moderation and what censorship has gotten more and more nuanced and guess what that's not going away the users just might. within a 1000. the titians in europe has signed a letter asking israel to drop its an exaggeration pace plan approved by the us while president trump believes it will benefit everybody involved the youth is it could actually end up for peace in the middle east this move will be fatal to the prospects of israeli palestinian peace and will challenge the most basic norms guiding international relations including the un charter acquisition of territory

by force has no place in 2020 and must have commensurate consequences i call on the israeli government. it's an extension. of my vision presents a win win opportunity for both. a realistic 2 state solution that resolves the risks for palestinian statehood to israel's security today israel has taken a giant step toward peace it's a great plan for israel it's a great plan for peace frankly mr president. given all that you've already done freule i'm not surprised when the so-called peace plan would keep jerusalem as israel's undivided capital leaving palestine with a capital on the outskirts of the city palestine would also be demilitarized to remove any potential threat to israel west bank and gaza would remain part of

palestine and be connected by roads and tunnels president trump offered a $50000000000.00 of investment to the palestinian authorities although that would come in exchange for israel gaining control of security most resources and the diplomatic and security arrangements of palestine the palestinian authorities to reject all notions of the plan from the moment it was 1st presented and their position hasn't changed. the leash testing that was all of the international community. doing in school on your i will put it well all of that will lead to international will to advance regional peace and security and to preserve the rule based molecular go on. we must prove it wrong for both the us and the palestinians to see the situation very differently washington calls the planned peace to perspire a-t. and claims it will end hostility by promoting security donald trump says it is a great opportunity is no palestinians will have to leave their homes israeli prime

minister benjamin netanyahu has set a date of july the 1st for his cabinet to begin discussions on moving forward with the plans. 1st of all it is illegal under international law because these are listing in territories there are plenty of united nations resolutions calling for israel not to build or to encroach on the mainland israel has miley quite a number of un laws over the years and it has done so with impunity i hope international community which is very weak on this country for years this time will take on sions of the danger behind this and action i hope with all my heart that we can prevent this dangerous move that israeli government is doing now

this is time now that we can he lead to international rules and norms sadly there is only one country that can persuade israel not to build on this land so united states of america and donald trump as you know really disregards united nations and international law by saying yes to anything is what wanted to do donald trump i think is marginal nice him so on this conflict this is about credibility and i think with trump intercession united as lost a lot of credibility to bring. in this conflict really we need to look at europe and i'm hoping that european governments will rise to the occasion and tell israel. should not do this and if they do all then they should be

a sanctions imply. implied on them if this an exception is coming for real we will need real sanctions one of the most profound aspects of. this lect areas because it's crossed party because it's crossed you know sort of you know you crossed europe and it has leading figures who have supported israel and palestine over decades i think. the international community specially europe needs to say enough is enough we have the power to refix the balance and citrus rael we are partners we are friends but we also friends of the palestinian people and we want peace in this region so think about what you're doing. and work for peace instead of destroying the 2 state solution if an action is this country. in 3 days or few weeks this will be a huge major during this conflict and i don't know what can distort or can bring

but i see nothing but that but then are. now in spain a famous painting there has been made unrecognizable after restoration work and decided to add a little bit of creativity conservationists are calling for stricter laws as the painting isn't the only priceless treasure to have been given a make over. i

don't think these people should be referred to as restorers let's be honest they're buggers who botched things up they destroy things. you're watching. international. extinction rebellion activists are back this time prompting shoplifting to stop poverty in the u.k. we'll have a look at the details just after the break. you know what wall street's up to its usual bag of tricks now back in 2008 global financial crisis and remember that movie the big short and remember i was obvious that everything was going to blow up and remember the wall street people were

conspiring and it all blew up in a few people make billions and billions of dollars because they cooked the books grabbed all that cash and we're causing reports that you know what this exact same thing is going to happen again in 10 or 12 years and guess what here we are 12 years later and. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race. spearing dramatic developments only mostly exist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very. time to sit down and talk.

again now the environmental pressure group extinction rebellion staged a dramatic comeback this week it carried out a number of new protest actions around the world including a shoplifting stunt against poverty in the u.k. with. it's been a while since climate change activists extinction or rebellion have been well making any headlines but on thursday they were back in the news after a seemingly provocative stunt that seems to be based on the old robin hood tale robbing from the rich to give to the poor in london 5 activists were shoplifting in a food shop although they targeted a major corporate chain rather than a smaller private business running out of the supermarket they then proceeded to give all of their bounty away in a protest against poverty they also slap stickers around the shops which were proclaimed things like new lower price free because poverty sucks news the infamous

marie antoinette slogan let them eat cake with the word cake crosstown on their banners i'm not stealing food i'm a gift aiding it we're changing the rules because. this is not against sainsbury's but the profiteering of a basic human need the stunt also proclaimed the appearance of a new political party called u.k. beyond politics and is aiming big 1st target next year's marathon actions in london and they promise it's just the start we're seeing. there have been 20000. political cost to respond to the extinction of the human race this move into the world of democratic politics has surprised many people because extinction rebellion has always prided itself on being a direct action group and movement all about staging numerous acts of civil disobedience all across the world never the less they are widely accused of

vandalism and promoting a populist agenda and all the while police in the u.k. particularly have been quite cautious and worried about taking any action against them and they fear of violating their human rights to protest so what do the people on the streets of london make of this rebellion moving up in the world into a different category. no if you're stealing from a shop and give it now it is the very robin hood but i don't think that's how they should be protesting at all but not by stealing doesn't set a good example i wouldn't vote for them. it's. been a lot of good just to keep it away but at the same time. you don't really need to pay to call it. all that would turn to good what they've done. but at the end of day no not they didn't pay for it and i think the concept is a good idea i'm all for you know taxing the rich or more in order to redistribute up funds you know more efficiently and fairly but to display they're doing right by

it isn't the right way to go back to my. ex are clearly have some big plans but they might have a way to go from sitting on the streets to sitting in parliament shouted out. the detroit police department prosecutor's office has to reassess events which led to the wrongful arrest of a black man robyn williams g 2 a floor in facial recognition technology the city's mayor has apologized for the case. of the reality that case and joint prosecutor kym worthy in my apology to mr williams but you have to think of the case and the case in my mind is about sub detective work and sub par weren't prosecuted were back in january robert robert williams was arrested and held for more than a day on charges of theft the any evidence police had against him was a facial recognition technology to match over his driver's license photo against grainy surveillance footage of the real thief williams himself says it was easy to

see a mistake had been made. when i look at the picture of the guy i just see a big black guy i don't see a resemblance i don't think you looks like me at all. your face scanning technology is used by ordinary people. every day to unlock their smartphones or tag friends on social media however when it comes to police investigations a lot of facial intelligence has drawn a lot of criticism of false matches a major flaw of the technology is that it has a harder time identifying darkest skinned people the detroit police department says it's already connected new rooms because of the williams case. facial recognition software is an investigative tool that is used to generate leads only additional investigative work corroborating evidence and probable cause and required to before an arrest can be made now the founder of encrypted internet service unseen disbelief while face recognition should help in criminal cases he shouldn't be the

sole evidence there are cameras everywhere now and the law enforcement didn't even have to pay for the cameras if you look at the video cameras you look at the cameras in people's phones the resolution is in some cases it's almost like a theater or a movie theater so you've got very high quality resolution you've got people who are you've got a ubiquity of these cameras and now you have the software that's able to decode it and you know relevance to make actionable information for law enforcement at least or they think now i think what you have to do is you have to handicap and say well there's probably a probability that this person might be the person you cannot hang your hat 100 percent on anything it is not absolute so is that used to determine that this person is going to get arrested no they have to go find a bunch of other evidence that you can put the person at that location at same time with their cell phone with license plates with somebody have
