know. your 1st. friends his much anticipated could be tracing api she used to send just 14 alerts in 3 weeks that is half a 1000000 people 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 do the same america's reputation in europe is there was a big blow by its handling of the corona virus a new poll suggests that is the u.s. hits an all time high the case is clocking up 40000 on thursday alone and more companies join a boycott of facebook for its failure to remove hate speech and its reluctance to

take down some of donald trump's controversial posts however a new undercover report does say that facebook is actually censuring the president's supporters and the e.u. russia and palestine call on israel to scrap it and backed by the united states fear is it will have a huge impact on hopes for a. hello there just gone 2 pm here in moscow you with r.t. international. coronavirus tracing app that has rolled out in france has alerted just 14 uses about their potential exposure over the course of the last 3 weeks despite the country recording many new cases of the virus every day to pinsky looks at why. star code. 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 what it was a few weeks ago the french digital minister said it 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 after a full start some 2000000 people actually did download it corowa you might think that given that there are an estimated 47000000 people in france with smart phones

that's barely a day in the ocean ok some 2000000 people die lou does it 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 to faint. yes somebody 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 you know 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 on the. precautionary measures like a mosque but so i have

a problem with giving my personal data for this application so it's for that reason i didn't download it the. need to have it for the 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 oh did you leave in a safe way for example i did your body can still think it's a matter of see my friends 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 may they. know and i'm not fond of 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. were usually answering that for 2 years not many it was only 14 people who are informed. shows it's not as successful as. 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 so pay for something which is not used. 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 reflect a decrease in the viruses prevalence and this is true the numbers of infections

have been steadily declining in france said drake 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 100 $20000.00 euros a month for an app that we are using challengeable ski r.t. . meanwhile the united states has seen a record daily increase in coverage 900 cases reaching 40000 new infections on thursday think is revealed by johns hopkins university well the previous high was back in april with just over 36000 cases the u.s. still tops the global infection chart with almost 2 and a half 1000000 cases this has been put on us has put on hold plans to reopen several states including texas florida as well as arizona spot that though president trump says his country is coping well with the pandemic we have the

greatest testing program in the world we've developed it over a period. and we're up to almost 30000000 tests that means we can 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 are down we have one of the lowest mortality rates we've done an incredible historic. well as he says there in terms of the mortality rate the u.s. is not doing as badly and is actually faring better than the likes of the u.k. spain in ecuador with just over $38.00 deaths for every 100000 people however it is still the 9th highest death rate globally meanwhile the spike in new infections is considerable and is being put down to young people testing positive especially in states in the south and west of the country where the way the crisis has been handled in the united states has dealt a blow to the country's reputation in europe it seems because a new survey does show 56 percent of those questioned in 9 countries believe that

america's image has suffered during the pandemic while just over 6 percent believe it's actually improved we asked some europeans for their viewers. they don't have such an effective medical system as others do the social security system in america differs from ours for the mormons themselves 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. at the same time i can't really judge them. 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 and with germany maybe suffer through this but comparing casual just in

france italy with america i think they have a lot more territory than we have so difficult to say. because of india and i did state they have managed coverage 9000 poorly in fact it is enough to count the tears i believe we have controlled and managed the epidemic better set. it up this is a funny look and. amica america was not taken seriously a person like truong has done nothing he was able to build a separation in mexico i suppose he was lots of people fighting this virus who could have done little or not instead underestimated the situation for you or are you afraid so i believe that we can all judge the work done in the usa this is a large country that has a different law from ours has different economic resources and different population we too have made our mistakes. that facebook is facing a huge boycott from lucrative advertisers who believe it isn't doing enough to filter hate speech no surprise it is donald trump that has

a lot to do with that fury but a new undercover report by project veritas to suggest the social media giant a sense of the president's supporters for some time jackie vogel 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 us every day we see ads from companies placed adjacent to hateful content occupying the same space as extremist recruitment groups and harmful disinclination campaigns you add buying dollars being used by the confidence 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 picked up a notch when verizon joined 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 in a lecture. and then i saw a play an exception that just targeting conservatives or favored liberals we really came to take the word. on their side yes good for ourselves really special is that maybe one of the very long political ads though so now they can get more exposure to the left there is the right problem with facebook obviously it's best to give a 100 percent believe to fight learning 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 that blacklist shadow and our editorial decisions pure and simple their editorial decisions in those moments twitter seasons to be a neutral public platform of the 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're looking 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 to platforms that call themselves on bias that remains to be seen but in light of all this something tells me that dr bird 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 have gotten more and more nuanced and guess what that's not going away the users just money. more than a 1000 politicians in europe have signed a letter asking israel to drop its an exception peace plan approved by the united states while president from believes it will benefit everybody involved the does fear it could actually end the 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 expression. of my vision presents a win win opportunity for both it's a realistic 2 state solution that resolves the risks of 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 fruitful i'm not surprised 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 would be connected by roads and tunnels president trump offered to $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 palestinian authorities to reject 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 go all. we must prove it wrong that isn't a view shared by the u.s. and israel flushing to underscore the plan pays to perspire 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 in israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has set a date of july the 1st for his cabinet to begin discussions on moving forward the plans for the 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 conflict 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 israel government's doing now this is time now that we can he had to international rules and norms sadly there's 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. i think is marginal nice him self and this conflict and this is about credibility and i think with us trump a new situation united says 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 but they should not do this and if they do or don't they should be a sanctions imply. implied or if this is an exception is coming for real we will need real sanctions one of the most profound aspects of this elector use because it's crossed party because it's crossed you know sort of you know we have 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 proud 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 huge a major donor in this conflict and i don't know what what distant you can bring but i see nothing but. the bench or. and spain a famous painting there has been made i'm recognisable laughter restoration work decided to add a little bit of creativity in fact it isn't the 1st time a famous work has received

a bad make over sparking calls for tougher regulations. 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 want you still to come extinction rebellion activists and back this time promoting shoplifting to fight poverty in the u.k. we'll have a good things helps in a couple of minutes. the world. driven by a dream shaped by one person those words. thinks . we fear to ask.

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 how it was obvious that everything was going to blow up and remember how 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 report said 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. again with the environmental action group extinction rebellion staged a dramatic comeback this week he carried out a number of new protests around the world including a shoplifting stunt against poverty in the u.k. shouted at woodstock reports it's been a while since climate change activists extinction rebellion have been 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 went shoplifting in a food shop although they targeted a major corporate chain rather than a small a private business running out. 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 proclaiming 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 the rules. 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 fs talk it next is mayor actions in london and they promise it's just the start we're seeing. there have been 20000. that the crowning glory is the inability of the political class 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 through pretty movement all about staging numerous acts of civil disobedience all across the world never the less they all quietly accused of vandalism and promoting a populist agenda and all the while police in the u.k. particularly have been quite cautious in worried about taking any action against them amid fear of violating their human rights to protest so what are the people on the streets of london make of this action or about in moving up in the world into a different category like if you're stealing from

a shop but given how easy it is very dropping the desk but i don't think that's how they should be processed it's not by stealing doesn't set a good example i wouldn't talk to them. just to keep it at the same time. you don't really need to pay. it. all the time to good what they've done. i but at the end of day no not they didn't pay for it 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 is the right way to go back to my. acts are clearly have some big plans but they might have a way to go from sitting on the streets to sitting in parliament. r.t. . the detroit police department or prosecutor's office as a recess events which led to the wrongful arrest of a black man robert williams jews were floor in facial recognition technology city's

mayor has apologized for the case of the rio group about 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 well back in january robert williams was arrested and held for more than a day on charges of theft police said facial recognition technology had matched his old driver's license photo with grainy surveillance footage of the incident williams himself says it was obvious that the 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 face scanning technologies 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 and it does seem to you to make more mistakes

when it comes to darker skinned people to troy police say that they brought in 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 and required to before arrests can be made the founder of the encrypted internet service unseen police while face wreckage commission should help in criminal cases he shouldn't be the sole evidence she used 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 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 much not a that's why the news is the can say far today hey have a back again that 30 minutes.

you cannot be vulgar 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 boost the neo liberal.
