they suggest that. the long term effects might not just be the absence of benefit but actually that long to. say very modestly that i have done more for the african-american community than any president since abraham lincoln has black lives matter protests engulfed the city of can osha will look at how politicians are using the unrest in this year's presidential election. says russia's not stream 2 gas pipeline to germany must go ahead despite tensions over the alleged poisoning a prominent opposition figure alexina valmy. and a survey of british media finds muslims get disproportionate coverage in terrorism stories despite other groups being far more likely to commit attacks.

whether from r t h q in moscow welcome on call a break good to have you with us this hour stories and reaction that were across the south from the 1st protest as close to the white house attempted to shout down donald trump during his speech to the final night of the republican party convention with homes and chanting loudly hundreds tried to disrupt the event a number were carrying black lives matter about it but that didn't stop the president from claiming he's done more for black people than almost all of his predecessors. say very modestly that i have done more for the african-american community than any president since abraham lincoln our 1st republican president. and i have done more in 3 years for the black community then joe biden has done in 47 years. and when i'm reelected the best is yet to come. from speech came is furious black lives matter protesters once again turned

out in kind osha in the wake of sunday's police shooting of a black man to be aware that we are about to show you the disturbing video of that incident as filmed by a possible. please . but in terms of timing kind of open looks at how can i become a crucial pole in the election reiss. cars bernie guns firing people looting images that have become all too familiar in the united states as of late anarchy in

action on the streets has got politicians pointing fingers at each other republicans are even staking their reelection efforts on a tough law and order stance saying that democratic governors have let the situation get out of hand results when failed to fish rules in cities like portland minneapolis chicago and new york make a conscious decision not to support law enforcement to buy wood to bloodshed we are seeing in these and other cities is it happening by chance it's a direct result of a refusing to allow law enforcement to protect our communities leftist try to turn that meant of elephants they want to cancel them. but i'm here to tell you these heroes can't be canceled from seattle and portland to washington and new york

democrat run cities across this country are being overrun by violent mobs those statements from the south dakota governor did not make it past leftist media which called for a reality check we will interject when we feel like there's something that's important and deliberate and very wrong that should be corrected just so that we feel responsible about our broadcast other news outlets got much the same for suggesting local authorities are responsible for the violence how shocked are we that 17 year olds with rifles decided they had to maintain order when no one else would this goes beyond racism tucker carlson is advocating and defending murder how shocked are we that tucker carlson is praising a murderer as some kind of vigilante hero democrats are taking those blame claims and throwing them right back in the face of conservatives saying that they're the ones that ferment it they hate to begin with the question for us this concern is when are we going to make republicans do their jobs or do we continued sit idly by

and watch the saide burn to the ground. our nation is hurting we need leadership that will heal our wounds not continue to pour salt on them peaceful protest against police violence should not be met with more violence and yet that's exactly what the president called for after the death of george floyd and here at home as george full oid briana taylor and a never ending list of innocent people of color continue to be murdered stating the simple fact that a black life matters is still met with derision from the nation's highest office as media and politicians blame each other some us citizens are taking up arms on their own in juneau shit wisconsin a teenager said to worship the police went to a protest and opened fire on the crown 2 people were killed the local police then

shined in on their own saying that the victims were to blame because they were on the streets in violation of curfew laws this is not a police action this is not the action i believe of those who set out to do protests it isn't all it is the persons who are involved after the legal time involved in illegal activity that brought violence to this community this teenager is not the only one right wing militia groups and black self-defense organizations have sprung up across the country while politicians point the finger at the situation on the streets is only getting worse across the country people are bracing for turbulent times ahead i think there's a political game going on on the side and both sides you've got the democratic side trying to to blame the president for curing racial unrest and i don't know floyd group that and you've got you've got the republican side saying they're. special they're pin pointed the finger at democratic leaders and democratic city things up

is that the leadership there is not take me appropriate action. no law and order and so there needs to be a middle someplace we do need law and order we need to provide security and to see the for families security for our businesses especially small business and i feel bad for small businesses they were so hit by the coronavirus and those are the ones already being impacted a lot on this violence and the unfortunately the real situation but both parties are using it and the political weapon. the german chancellor has rejected calls to pull out of the north korean to gas pipeline project with russia its in the wake of the alleged poisoning of key opposition figure alexina valmy reporting next from berlin he's peter oliver unsurprisingly coronavirus dominated the chancellor's summer press conference but she did also have time to talk about bello reduce the ongoing dispute between greece and turkey in the eastern mediterranean. proposals

for quotas on women in senior positions in her christian democratic union party if you're wondering where chancellor merkel stands on that she's very much in favor there was time for a question on alexei no violently as well the russian opposition figure remains in a hospital here in berkeley and following an alleged poisoning i'm going to merkel said germany was not in a position in order to clarify what had happened to alexei navalny as it stood it would be waiting for a joint statement from the european union it's we're trying to clarify things in the new through our own abilities which are in fact limited when we have more clarity like in the case of mr scroope pong we will try to forge a reaction on the european level. alexina valley has been here in berlin since last saturday he remains in an induced coma doctors at the shot at a hospital where he's being treated say that there remains no acute danger to his

life but that they can't tell what long term effects of this this illness will be on the opposition figure now his poisoning has prompted some to call on germany to ditch the north stream to gas pipeline project but i'm increasingly convinced the germany should pull out of the north stream to project russia's president putin is turning increasingly into a dictator who persecutes opponents including by means of poisoning attempts the poisoning attack on the russian opposition leader must lead to targeted reaction the baltic sea nordstrom to should not go into operation the project which would take russian gas directly from russia into germany is a multi 1000000000 in euro or operation the german chancellor says it's going ahead as it stands. i think that we should be coupled these issues and in our opinion north rim to should be completed chancellor merkel is steadfast in saying that

germany's by turn the use energy security should not be politicized there is some interest from the united states and this is you would imagine the us alternately wants to sell europe its own liquefied natural gas and not seen senators from the united states put forward sanctions against companies involved in building the gas line project the thing is is ultimately they want to sell their own liquefied natural gas which is more expensive and that doesn't seem like it's going to happen anytime soon this pipeline is going ahead despite the political tensions surrounding it. form austrian foreign minister cameron can i still believe the chancellor merkel is doing the right thing in backing the pipeline project. nobody builds a pipeline just to n.r. somebody a pipeline is built because there is the man it's the 2nd part of the pipeline and that was initiated in 2000 try we saw this same argue mance in those years

apart 100 facts allergy from north america it was not yet commercial. we see a kind of replay of the arguments of 2005 nevertheless it was built and now there's a need and force during this situation i will see is that a bit more different from it was 2 years ago and i don't see how the all speaking notes which we have been hearing from u.s. officials over the last years are still well it into this environment of very low gas prices. the report accuses the british media of disproportionately focusing on terror attacks carried out carried out by muslims even though attacks carried out by white supremacists and their nazis are more frequent crimes perpetrated by muslims get 9 times the coverage the muslim council of britain did know though that the balance has improved since the christchurch and el paso attacks where muslims were victims we discuss the findings with one of the authors. what we've done is

not make assumptions we have got very detailed analysis and statistics that we're prudent from monitoring the media on a daily basis and looking at how they report on it and we've compared very similar attacks committed by so-called muslim perpetrators and those by the far right and white supremacists and found that there's been a huge inconsistency and difference in the way those attacks are are covered there's far more of a. willingness on the part of the media to use the term terror terrorist or terrorism exclusively for muslims and it's very rare that they use it for far right we see a rise of hate crimes you know even after christ's church when muslims were the victims the the rates of hate crimes increased in britain and even in the coverage of christchurch we show that the media tried to find an angle which brought it back

to trying to blame the muslims so you know these attacks not as a result of muslim terrorist attacks all you know rotheram so-called muslim grouping gangs. farai terror attacks are on the rise with muslims often the victims the mass shooting at the mosque in christ church in el paso attack in texas being too prominent examples of course with the recent shooting at the bar in germany in which 11 people died know the same time the number of attacks by muslims in western countries have been falling and experts attribute that to the recent deescalation of tensions in the middle east as it stands far right extremists carry out almost 3 times more terror attacks in the west than islamist groups but that in those together local most over 60 percent of terrorism incidents or not attributed to any group at all however the disproportionate reporting of them does have consequences . organizations should have clear definitions of what terrorism is make them transparent and then be consistent in their use of it the repercussions of this are

not only in terms of hate crimes that increase against muslims but it's the impact this has on social media so when a mainstream organization makes this point it's empty fide it knew know and spread to millions and millions of people because the far right uses this kind of coverage to amplify their troops and their anti muslim rhetoric and so it's very dangerous. when i was. wrong. but all just don't. get me the world yet to shape out this day to educate and in gains from an equal trail.

when so many find themselves worlds apart. just of the common ground. if you go to the symphony orchestras warming up and he'd say this is tuning his or her instrument so you hear this year all these sounds are noise but it but it's it's a constant a it's disorganized and then the the band the orchestra plays and you get the music so what the brain does and what the maker tubules do is organize or orchestrate these one collapses. welcome back russia's olympic committee has sacked the head of the country's

anti-doping agency bristled at the committee's decision comes after an investigation exposed alleged financial violations committed by your egos which he denies saskia taylor report. well we all know that russian sport has had a bumpy couple of years and now another big development in the country sports while on friday it was announced that be it she fought the russian on to an agency or was sought out as it's known has been dismissed now 56 year old you are in countess was appointed to write to general of the body back in august 27000 so he ready hasn't been long in the post but that said the decision didn't entirely come out of the blue given that the idea of this month a recommendation for his dismissal was put forward by was solid just bought today we once again looked at the arguments made by the supervisory board hoods the report of the order and the general director yuri ganis have to carefully considering the arguments we decided to accept the recommendation to remove mr

ganis the decision was taken unanimously so one said led to this while gomez has been accused of overseeing serious financial fire they said is not reading. came to light after a financial check comes down so the completeness and the reliability of an audit initially submitted by god as him south now some are saying that he used agencies funds for english lessons for personal taxis when he said he was a broad on a business trip he was actually on holiday but that really all added up because it suggested that he appropriate around 110000000 rubles that's a question of around one point $5000000.00 so that's the key issue here are the rumors of abuse of loss of power and indeed of conflict of interest now for his part going to says that this was the wrong decision and he continues to deny any allegations saying there are an attempt not just to discredit him positively but

also to undermine the efforts of. building and rebuilding rather that international trust in the wake of the mass toping allegations against russian field and track athletes back in 2015 it's not clear to me what grounds it's being recommended that i be fired or resigned as strongly denies the conclusions of the audit if the russian olympic and paralympic committees decide to fire me it will change our relations and aggravate the situation in russian sport just so we can quickly understand the role of result and why this is such an important decision for so much of a century a link between the world anti-doping agency or wada and russia so it's crucial to communication twin short dialogue between home and abroad and to ensuring that russian support is represented on the international stage now i want to say in a statement recognizing excepted the decision to dismiss guard us and also at the same times reiterated the need for assad to remain an independent body it also adds

that the 2 agencies are in constant communication and contact about any to ballot ments will have to wait and see who comes to fill ghana says shoes that's a decision that will likely be made within the next 6 months or so either way i think we can all agree that no one will envy him at that position because clearly a difficult time for russian sports. thanks ted technological leaps of always change the face of warfare from machine guns for demand flight for computer guided missiles buck could developments in ai see humans removed from the pivotal processes of battle altogether the pentagon is working on a project which could not only see robots do the fighting but also digital generals as it were making life or death decisions sensors to link air land sea space and cyberspace forces making coordinated split 2nd choices over who and where to shoot raw joining us now to talk about that we've got scott ritter who's a former u.s. marine corps intelligence officer also philip ingram who's

a former senior british intelligence military and security officer and got dr margaret as well who's an adjunct assistant professor in peace war defense at the university of north carolina gentlemen welcome to the program good to see you all 1st of all if i could ask you mr ingram the perils and pitfalls i suppose are easy to outline those fears are a well worn trope what would be the benefits of having robots making these split 2nd decisions instead of when the robots are making decisions the robots are bringing together huge amounts of data and what we're seeing at the moment is very early stages of research projects there is no ginger all human beings being replaced in the decision making so go anytime soon that's for the tinfoil hat. but there's so much data no doubt is being fed into different places we need something to help the human brain keep up with it it can't keep up with that volume and accurately scott in your experience is there a danger that the technology can leap ahead of the boots on the ground. first of

all there is such a thing as too much data war is really a simple thing i've done it and i know that there's new technology out there that you know has complicated it somewhat closing with and destroying the enemy through fire or that's it it's been that way from day one if you get too much data you actually create a lot of friction in the decision making and i guess what people are saying is you know with these with these new. artificial intelligence capabilities we can streamline this we can we can eliminate that friction i disagree because all you're doing is actually increasing the vulnerability of the forces engaged in combat by creating you know points secured be eliminated if you have all these systems of systems interacting with one another that the man on the ground or woman on the ground you know is relying upon to to do their basic simple mission of killing the

enemy and you will live in a one of the systems in the systems no longer function the way they're supposed to actually put the people on the grounds lives at risk i think this is a very bad you know if this is a bad trend we need to simplify warfare complicate warfare although it's kind of difficult now isn't it because the technology is out that complex technology has been around almost for decades and cope with the genie back in the bottle kenya. well. the genie is still kind of only halfway trying to squeeze out a bottle there's going to be you know quite a bit more to go and i think even if you get the genie out of our back ian we haven't really given up on getting rid of nuclear weapons are there have been around for a long time i disagree somewhat with the assertion that we don't have machines making decisions that really depends on how you define decision one of the

paradigms that we see very often the pentagon uses a lot in other countries are using it to his notion of semi-autonomous but if you look at the u.s. definition of a semi autonomous weapon system it really describes what we would think of as a fully autonomous weapons system that is something that is sent on a mission to go out and find a target and then to autonomous lee identified that target and determine that it is the target that it was sent to go after or one of them it might have a whole list of possible targets and finds one of them or find something that looks like something that's on that list you can autonomously decide yes that is a target and go ahead and attack it without any human being involved and this isn't i don't know would anyone ever want to kill a robot to do besides that nobody ever wanted killer robots there don't go around on their own for their own reasons make decisions to you know what to attack and who to kill nobody ever want to be i they wanted systems that would go out and

attack the targets that people want have attacked but the point is when you let the scenes made decisions that they have found you to react target and it is the appropriate situation in which to engage that target and the machine also is going to be tasked with a responsibility for deciding where are their civilians around is there some other reason why we don't want that star right now you're basically making it fully autonomous and so we don't we do already have these kinds of systems that autonomously hunt and kill targets and decipher the. right philip you're shaking your head there it is difficult for people to get their head around you've got machines that are making decisions at a rate of knots before a human can make a decision to stop it no there's didn't sheens processing a huge amount of information and we're oversimplistic simplifying conflict currently there are very few conflict situations where you simply close and kelly enemy that's a high intensity warfare that's what simple we're dealing with another military organization that structure done deployed in

a similar way most of the conflict situation we find ourselves in at the moment are dealing with enemies who are living within the population the americans tried to close and kilian them in doing that vietnam field enormously and therefore bringing those huge amounts of data in together to get it underlies in a way you're norton and if you look at it one of the things that identified terrorists moving in to carry out an attack was a particular pattern of their calls are moving through areas huge amounts of c.c.t.v. to have to be processed identify those those patterns human beings could have done it that was done by artificially artificial intelligence based machines that were providing a giving a flag up to a human being to make a decision to see whether that was part of normal activity or needed to be dealt with from a military or a security force perspective and the same thing happens all over the world as we get more and more sensors and we get more and more complexities in warfare it's

important brought in in a way that a human being can digest it in small packets and to the human decision making cycle there are no pure autonomy weapon systems out there today that are filtered by any western country and scott why don't you think that might help because there are soldiers generals commanders who make deadly fatal wrong decisions well 1st of all. we haven't won a war on terrorism yet i mean that's just the bottom line we've lost everyone we think gauged in one of the reasons why is that we've taken. you know the island so there's there's one. ira was an engaged with artificial intelligence and he was engaged with old fashioned human ingenuity and the. 4 height of islam which are not military 'd force none of my players are not on their intent and they were used elsewhere they were fighting we're now winning we brought in all the system systems of systems of systems of systems and we've tried to you know bring in algorithms

and things of nature and it's just not working the taliban have kicked our butt we're winning they're going to win the negotiation it won every time they've engaged because this is about human nature war at the end of the day it's about humans fighting humans the very human endeavor when you try to simplify it by bringing in machinery computers and that's all you've done is create an artificial value that other humans are going to readily defeat. that's my point of view although scott wouldn't you would you be concerned that if you had win wars by bringing in computers and artificial intelligence we wind bors closing with and destroying the enemy whether it's a conventional force or a terrorist with fire power maneuver we have to kill the right enemy but also if you had those if you were military trying to. rock and have filled if you military took the high ground and said we don't want to use ai it's all about the people it's all about the human interaction and the state of war. what about the bad guy

what about the enemies what about the competing armies if they've got the technology would you want your military top brass to be up to spain to with that kind of technology if i could get in here i just i think getting at what i think is really the core problem of all of this which is that we're we're developing new systems new us russia is developing also so is china so are other countries and we're going to stand these systems up against each other and you know we're not crazy so we don't normally leave these systems on with huge ability to fully autonomous lee initiate an attack which might initiate a war but in fact. as we get into crisis situations if we are really challenging the other side very intensely we're going to want to turn these systems on so they're ready to respond in a moment's notice to an attack from the other side and then as if something happens that looks like an attack you start shooting they start shooting now there's

a real fight going on and how do you stop it you don't know how it started you don't know what the intentions of the other side are you've lost communication with them because you're fighting and now people are dying and stuff is getting blown up and how are you going to start their war once the scenes have started it this is why this is so dangerous and we're seeing it most critically in the frontline confrontations like the end of the sniffing between the united states inside out and united states and russia navy as well in central europe where we are building up these missile systems now with the demise of the army and f. treaty both sides are going to start expanding on the numbers of missiles just going to wait we're coming to the end of the program appreciate your time on this broad for the camera range preaching a time talking to about the saving thanks a lot. that's the news for now we're getting deep into the fold next to sophie and co talking about the nature of human consciousness only on a. i'm

max kaiser one more of my guide to financial survival this is as if they were my issues by professional scallywags to earn money. that's right these hedge funds are simply not accountable and we're just getting more and more to the. totally destabilize the global economy you need to protect yourself and get in for a while because we. will come to.
