well. know. which your thirst for. france is much anticipated coby tracing out is used to send just. 3 weeks that is half a 1000000 people to delete it from their phones we search the streets of paris to find somebody who is using. that. 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 the u.s. hits an all time high of coby cases clocking up 40000 on thursday alone and 4 companies joined the boycott of facebook for its failure to remove hate speech and its reluctance to take down some of donald trump's for controversial posts however a new undercover report does suggest that facebook users is already censuring the

president and conservatives. on the e.u. russia and palestine call on israel to scrap and plan backed by the u.s. amid fears it will have a huge impact on hopes of paper this. morning is saturday the 27th of june you're watching r.t. international where she is gone 10 o'clock here in the russian capital now a coronavirus tracing app that was rolled out in france alerted just 14 uses about their potential exposure over the course of the last 3 weeks that despite the country recording many new cases of the virus every day charlotte pinsky looks now whether people are just too reluctant to download it or if the problem is with the app itself. stop code it. was

a priest 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 a few weeks ago the french digital minister said he could offer 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 full start some 2000000 people actually did download it cam'ron you might think that given that there are an estimated 47000000 people in france with small 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. no no no no no no we do to faint. yes so muddy who is actually down loaded it but then she said this as if yes i don't loaded it but i didn't really understand how it worked every time i tried to use it nothing so war i was there is such resistance to an up that was only supposed to keep you safe from the biggest threat the mortal world has ever apparently see. i 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. on internet for the younger generation i wasn't interested and like younger people who move around a lot for their work. i didn't take the time to download it oh did you leave in a safe way for example i did a body can stop taking the metro assume my friends but i don't need a lot of people i don't have the need to download it because it's centralized i plainly and truthfully i'm quite wary of what would be done with may data. and that phone the. principle behind the that issue of the personal data really had the french in much more civil rights activists were concerned about the right to the right to privacy while hundreds of academics voiced fears that they take out those could be repurposed for mars surveillance but perhaps they had nothing to

worry about off the or was it since emerged that only iran $68.00 people informed 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 share it it's of a. yes or no thing that 14 is not many it was only 14 people who are informed song shows it's not as successful as. by the authorities i think that people were bit wary about this exchange on the mobo would you continue to pay for something you don't use no i don't think so paying for something which is not used one should ask question. clearly clearly it is the other thing that's. worth thinking the up would work anyway france's digital minister has been trying to save face saying the numbers reflect a decrease in the viruses prevalence and this is true the numbers of infections

have been steadily declining in france said to break oh says he 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 challengeable ski r.t. . wiemar us to seen a record daily increase in k. with 900 cases reaching 40000 new infections on thursday those figures were revealed by the johns hopkins university well 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 has seen reopening plan suspended in several states including texas florida and arizona despite president trump is still convinced his country is coping well with the pandemic. and we have the greatest testing program in the world we've developed

it over. and we're up to almost $30000000.00 tests that means we're going to have more cases if we do want to test or if we didn't test 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 u.s. in 9th place global. with almost $400.00 deaths per every 1000000 the surgeon infections is being put down to young people testing positive especially in states in the staff and west of the country the way the coronavirus crisis has been handled in the u.s. there has dealt a blow to the country's reputation in europe and you survey does show that 56 percent of those polled in 9 countries do believe america's image has worsened joining the pandemic while just 6 percent believe it has improved we asked some europeans for their use. they don't have such an effective medical system as others

do. the social security system in america differs from ours for the moment and so europe does better but it isn't united. for now i prefer the french sorry then the americans 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 you can see french people partying in doing. music festival and stuff so we are not better actually we cannot really compare. europe everybody mostly reacted in the common way only germany maybe suffered. comparing casual interest in france italy with america i think they have. difficult to say. because i was a little under united states to have managed kawiti one time carlyon in fact it is

enough to count to 10 so i believe we have control don't manage the damage better set. it up this is a funny look and demick america was not taken seriously a person like truong has done nothing to you he was able to build disappoint mexicans i suppose he was on soo capable in fighting the foreigners he could have done newman and instead underestimated the situation when you are separated so i believe that we can. judge worked really well you see this is a large country that has a different law from ours there's different economic resources and different population we to meet on the streets. now facebook is facing a huge boycott from lucrative advertisers who believe it isn't doing enough to filter hate speech no surprise that it is donald trump that has a lot to do with their fury but a new undercover report by project very task that suggests that the social media giant has actually been censuring the president for some time jacki bigger is more

. 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 us 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 and 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. on their side yes good cop out something really special is that maybe one of the select growing political ads though so now they can get more exposure to the left there is the right right but facebook obviously had to give a 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 that 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 and they're with a viewpoint and i think we can say that about other source and whether you're looking to google whether you look at 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 to 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 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. time more than

a 1000 politicians in europe have signed a letter asking israel to drop its an exciting pace plan approved by the united states president from believes it will benefit everybody i'm told he does fear it could actually end the pace 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 proves wrong. it's

a great plan for peace frankly mr president. given all that you've already done fruit. i'm not surprised the so-called peace plan would keep 3 slim is 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 by spanking gars it would remain part of palestine and be connected by roads and tunnels present trumpeting $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 authority did project all notions of the plan from the moment it was 1st presented and they haven't changed their position in the least testing there is all of the international community thinking it's cool on your land but i will believe very well all of that will lead

to an international will to advance regional peace and security and to preserve the rule based molecular global. we must prove it wrong. well that's not a view shared by the u.s. and israel washington calls the plan peace to prosperity and claims it will end hostility by promoting security from it says it is a great opportunity no palestinians will ever have to leave their homes and 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 a 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 in futility i hope international community which is very weak on this conflict for years this time will take on sions of the danger behind this an exception i hope with all my heart that we can prevent this dangerous move that israel government's 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 all really disregards united nations and international law by saying yes to anything israel wanted to do done a trunk i think is marginal nice him self and this conflict and this

is about credibility and i think with trungpa new session united states and it's 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 or don't they should be a sanctions in. implied on them if this is an exception is coming for real. in the real sanctions one of the most profound aspects of. this lector yes because it's crossed party because it's crossed you know sort of you know you crossed europe and it has a leading figure 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 the. few days or few weeks this will be huge a major turn over in this conflict and i don't know what can what just an organ bring but i see nothing but the danger. now in spain a famous painting that has been made unrecognizable after restoration work it decided to add a little bit of creativity conservation is a calling for strict indoors as the painting isn't the only priceless treasure being given a make over. i

don't think these people should be referred to as restorers let's be honest their bodger is who botched things up they destroy things. the stories come off the bright pink rebellion activists are back this time

promoting shoplifting to fight poverty in the u.k. the details to come. 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 then 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. the world is driven by shaped by.

the day or sinks. we dare to ask. welcome back she environmental pressure group extinction rebellion a stage for a dramatic comeback is what you kitty carry out a number of knee protest actions around the world including a shoplifting stunt against poverty in the u.k. with more on that has shot and was dashed. 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 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 extinction or about in moving up in the world into a different category. no if you're stealing from a shop and give it now it is very dropping food but i don't think that's how they

should be processed it's all not by stealing doesn't set a good example of how to talk to them. it's. been a lot of quid just to keep it away but at the same time. you don't really need to pay for the ice because it's you know all the time to good what they've done. but at the end of day no not that you can pay for it and i think the concept is a good idea i'm all for it you know taxing the rich are more in order to redistribute up funds you know more efficiently and fairly but to display they're doing right but 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. you know the detroit police department and prosecutor's office has to reassess offense which did lead to the wrongful arrest of a black man robert williams g 2 a floor in facial recognition technology this is he's met has apologized for the

case. that case and joined 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 prosecutor work. back in january robert williams was arrested and held for more than a day on charges of theft the only evidence police had against him is the facial recognition technology match of his old 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 or face scanning technology is used by ordinary people every day to unlock their smartphones or to tag friends on social media however when it comes to police investigations artificial intelligence has drawn a lot of criticism for false matches

a major flaw of the technology is that it is harder to identify is harder to identify darker skinned people the detroit police department says it's already enacted new rules 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 cools required to before an arrest can be made the finding of the crypted internet service on same believes that 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 and 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 to you can put the person at that location at that same time with their cell phone with license plates with somebody had a fingerprint or there's d.n.a. think it just becomes a part of that kind of bio collection but this really points to the problems in general with with i identity you want to take it to have a company this morning move from us infesting us.

you cannot be bold with the yak you like. time after time you're going underground as millions around the world take part in virtual and socially distance events for pride month as western governments continue to be accused of easing coronavirus restrictions from a truly to boot.
