france's much anticipated covert tracing app you choose to send just 14 in 3 weeks that is half a 1000000 pay for delete it from their phones we search the streets of paris to find somebody who is using. it no no no no no no we took the fake. america's reputation in europe is they'll to big blow by its handling of the coronavirus a new poll suggests the u.s. hits an all time high of coby cases clocking up 40000 on thursday alone and more companies joined a boy called facebook for its failure to remove hate speech and its reluctance to take down some of donald trump small controversial posts however

a new undercover report does say that facebook has censored the president's supporters for some time and the e.u. russia and palestine call on israel to scrap its annexation plan backed by the u.s. i mean it will have a huge impact on the kids. good afternoon you're watching at international and she's gone 3. coronavirus tracing out that was rolled out in france as a kid 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 to be in ski books that what. stop covariates. the 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 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 tracing up one for catalonia. ok after a fold start some 2000000 people actually did download it tyrone you might think but 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 lou does it but
8:03 am
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 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 try to use it if i am nothing so why was there such resistance to an up that was only supposed to keep you safe from the biggest threat the mortal world has ever apparently see but. take 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
8:04 am
i didn't download it that. needed to happen for the younger generation i wasn't interested and like younger flew around with a war if you actually. didn't take the time to download it to leave in a safe way for example. instantly to the natural see my friends what i don't have to like the people i don't have the nintendo loaded eyes of because it's centralized i plainly and truthfully i'm quite wary of what would be done we've made it. 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 so or was it since emerged that only
8:05 am
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 sent you to work everyday where you feel your knowing that fortune is not many years it was only 14 people foreign workers recommend some composers it's not as successful as. by the authorities i think that people were a bit wary about this exchange of limo book as you continue to pray for something you don't usually know i don't think so pay for something which is not used. clearly delete is the other thing that's. worth 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 centric oh says he will be useful if there's
8:06 am
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. . meanwhile the united states has seen a record daily increase in k. with 19 cases reaching 40000 new infections on thursday those figures were revealed by johns hopkins university well the previous high was back in april just over $36000.00 cases the us 2 tops the global infection chart with almost 2 and a half 1000000 cases and this latest surge has for several states including texas and florida to suspend plans to reopen despite 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. and we're up to almost 30000000 that means we're
8:07 am
going to have more cases if we do want to test or if we didn't just 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 as he says there in terms of mortality rates the u.s. is not doing as badly it is faring better for example in the likes of the u.k. spain and also 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 the west of the country where the way the crisis has been handled in the u.s. has dealt a blow to the country's reputation in europe a new survey does say that 59 percent of those questioned in 9 countries believe that america's image has suffered during this pandemic or just over 6 percent
8:08 am
believe it's actually improved we asked some europeans for their views. they don't have such an effective medical system as others do it 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 would 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 you can see french people partying and doing. music festival and stuff so yes we are not better actually we cannot really compare. europe everybody mostly rashed in the common way and only germany maybe suffered. its comparing casual just in france italy with america i think they have power to weight per 1000000 that we
8:09 am
have since difficult to say. because i was an indian i did states they have managed to convert 9000 poorly and in fact it is enough to count to 10 so i believe we have controlled and managed the better. it up this is up to me lupin demick america has not taken seriously a person like truong has done nothing he was able to build disappoint mexicans i suppose he wasn't so capable of fighting this virus he could have done newman and instead underestimated the situation when you want to argue separate so i believe that we can all judge the work done in the usa this is a large country that has a different door from ours has different economic resources and a different population we too have made almost stakes. now the wealth of the facebook founder mark zuckerberg has fallen by $7000000000.00 after several it could have advertised his boycotted his social network claiming it isn't doing
8:10 am
enough to filter speech by surprise that he's done more trying there's a lot to do with the theory but a new on the cover of. by project or a test as suggested the social media giant has been censoring supporters of the president for some time jacki 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 con form 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 joined the fray
8:11 am
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 call 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 hate 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 berg 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
8:12 am
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 elections and then i saw a play an exception that just targeting conservatives or favored liberals we really came to take the word from. the left side yes good cop out something really special is that maybe more of this in 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 they believe to fight lining 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 take off trump when they put a label on a couple of his posts warning that they could be potentially misleading he
8:13 am
responded with executive order to 30 the choices that twitter makes one it uses to suppress that blacklists 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'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 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
8:14 am
over what's moderation and what censorship have gotten more and. more new ones and guess what that's not going away though users just might. more than a 1000 politicians in europe have signed a letter asking israel to drop its an exception pace plan approved by the united states or president believes it will benefit everybody involved the u. does fear it could actually end hopes 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 expression. of my vision presents a win win opportunity for both it's
8:15 am
a realistic 2 state solution that resolves the risk 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. a so-called peace plan would keep true slim is israel's undivided capital even 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 has also offered to $50000000000.00 of investment the palestinian authorities although that would come in exchange for his rail gain control of security most resources and the diplomatic and security arrangements of palestine the palestinian authorities to protect all
8:16 am
nations of the plan from the very 1st moment it was announced but they haven't changed their position neither. is the only best thing that was all of the international community. doing in school on your lap but i will put it very well all of that will lead to international will. regional peace and security and to preserve the rule based molecular go all. we must prove it wrong as none of the is shared by the u.s. and israel washington calls the plan peace to perspire it and claims it will end hostility by promoting security come from 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 discussion and moving forward with the panels. first of all it is illegal under international law because
8:17 am
these are a listing in territories there are plenty of united nations resolutions calling for israel not to build or to encroach on the line 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 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
8:18 am
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 trungpa new situation united says it is 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 day they should be a sanctions imply. implied on them if this is an exception is coming for real we will need real sanctions one of the most profound aspects of this letter is because it's crossed party because it's crossed you know sort of you know you
8:19 am
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 a. few 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 the bench or. in spain a famous painting there has been made them recognizable after restoration work it decided to add a little bit of creativity and it isn't the 1st time either
8:20 am
a famous piece of art is received a bad make over sparking calls for tougher regulations.
8:21 am
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.
8:22 am
still ahead for you this hour extinction rebellion activists are back this time committing shoplifting to take in the u.k. we'll have the details just off the bottom. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy on foundation let it be an arms race is often spearing dramatic development only mostly i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk.
8:23 am
the world is driven by shaped by one person with those words. the day or thinks. we dare to ask. again now the environmental action creep extinction rebellion staged a dramatic comeback this weekend carried out a number of new protests around the world including
8:24 am
a shoplifting stunt against poverty in the u.k. . 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 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 aiding it we're changing the rules because the . this is not against sainsbury's but the profiteering of
8:25 am
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 is marriage 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 all quietly 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
8:26 am
in the streets of london make of this extinction or about in moving up in the world into a different category. both know 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 it all but not by stealing doesn't set a good example of how the both of them. is a pretty big pot of quid just to keep it away but at the same time. you don't really need to pay the eye on. 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 it 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. 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 especially arty. the detroit police department and prosecutor's office are to reassess events
8:27 am
which did lead to the wrongful arrest of a black man robert williams to a flaw in facial recognition technology city's mayor has apologized for the case. of the rio group 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 police said that facial recognition technology had matched his older driver's license photo with grainy surveillance footage of the incident williams himself said it was obvious 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 to tag friends on social media however when it comes to police investigations artificial
8:28 am
intelligence does draw a lot of criticism for false matches and it seems to make more mistakes too when it comes to darker skinned people detroit police say they have brought in new rules though 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 cool's required to before an arrest can be made the founder of the encrypted internet service unseen police will face recognition should help in criminal cases they shouldn't be the sole evidence 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
8:29 am
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 that same time with their cell phone with license plates with somebody have 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 bio identity what's not international thanks being with us to soften in the back again with more stories and about half an add in forget they plan to stories t. want to lab sites and i see them come. to
