actually suggests that. the long term effects may not just be the absence of benefit but actually the. republicans complain of being harassed by black lives matter activists as they left the national convention some even calling for an f.b.i. investigation. police tried to break up a near 20000 strong crowd of anti lockdown protesters the activists complained of double standards after black demonstrations were allowed to take place and handed. questions are raised over ethics as the pentagon moves ahead with an artificial intelligence project that could make life or death decisions on the battlefield we discussed whether computers could replace commanders. bringing together.

if you get too much data you actually create a lot of friction in the decision making you start shooting a story. here in moscow now some. of the headlines stories we're tracking this hour 1st pennsylvania avenue guests invited to the white house to donald trump speech at the end of the republican convention complained of being heris to as they left the event senator rand paul says he was targeted and wants the f.b.i. to investigate. senator claims that both he and his wife were set upon by crowds the test was shouted down at them and so pushed the officers with with them ron paul says that he felt their lives are as. they were shouting press you know to

stick to killers to hurt us but they're also saying shouting save her name briana taylor. in the black lives matter protesters were demanding that the senate to say the name of briana taylor was a black woman who was fatally shot by police in her home it appears they didn't know that ron paul actually sponsored the justice for briana taylor act which bans no knock warrants by offices like the one that led to her death sentence it was also behind the stop militarizing law enforcement act of halt the transfer of military equipment to police political activist brandon straka was also targeted by black life matter protesters while leaving the convention here's his story. 4 people from this black lives matter mob ended up walking up the streets near where my friends and i were as they crossed us they started calling us anti-gay slurs and then it became physical when they confronted us they spit in my friend my

carlos face who is a gay conservative. they threw a drink at me and threw a cot at me and then they actually slapped my friend libby in the arm a girl he was there with me as well although this is not the 1st time in my life that i have endured an anti-gay attack on the street or concentration from strangers it is the very 1st time that something like this has happened in which the perpetrators of the attack portray themselves as the victim the other thing that really concerned me and kind of sickened me a little bit as it was happening was the idea that if we got in a position where we would have to defend ourselves it was clear to me that this would be misrepresented by the media as i was attacking that because this is how this whole thing is set up this is how this is been allowed to happen is it would suddenly become a black lives matter protesters attacked 2 gay men it would be 2 white men

attacked black lives matter protesters. protesters taking part in an anti lockdown rally in berlin of trying to storm the german federal parliament building the bundestag police made more than $300.00 arrests as they moved in to break up the demonstration. to sedalia called on the protesters to maintain physical distance saying but the police say the sense that request was ignored they had no choice but to move in the demonstration was preceded by a furious legal battle as well with officials attempting to ban the court eventually but it could go ahead but activists play but the authorities show double standards when it comes to differing protests as peter all about i'm explaining. demonstrations by those on happy with corona virus restrictions this weekend city authorities had tried to the demonstration saying they wouldn't be able to stick to

rules put in place to stop the spread of the virus upset people already were very happy city authorities were quick to point out that in no way was the attempt to ban these demos and attempt to limit freedom to demonstrate. that the law says explicitly that the right of assembly is protected no matter the reason of the respective demonstration so to forbid right wing demonstrations allow only leftwing ones is out of the question of the principle of our decision is that the rules for protection against infection will be deliberately violated and so the right to assembly should not violate the law concerning infection. protesters weren't buying that especially after the german press started reporting that counter-demonstrations being blocked on the disparities go along as the massive black lives massive protests at the beginning of the summer went ahead without the same scrutiny while they might differ on

a lot of issues it's not like the black lives crowd is very different from the anti lock down measures crowd when it comes to social distancing. the organizers saw that as a political move berlin's interior minister said he wouldn't allow the city to become a backdrop of what he's described as coronavirus deniers and right wing extremists that despite a large part of the 20000 strong crowd expected being made up of people who have lost their jobs during the corona lockdown the organizers of the rally their supporters claim all of this smacks of double standards i think the protests by and in berlin is wrong the whole store it is argued that certain groups shouldn't be

given a stage a distorted understanding of democracy the right to demonstrate is one of the most important civil rights no matter what calls you demonstrate for if you have no problem with you should also allow this berlin rally if only one side can raise their issues then something's not right account to protest against them to groom the virus rallies allowed in berlin it beggars belief the ban was lifted it was challenge in court the ruling saying that authorities couldn't say for sure that social distancing and face covering rules would be flaunted on purpose so what we're going to have here in berlin are thousands of people many of whom don't believe the virus even exists gathering in the way that science and public health officials say is the perfect way to spread it peter all over are to. be violent scenes in sweden after a rest was triggered when and here's lamb activists burned a copy of the koran in public and streamed video of it online police say more than

$300.00 people outraged of what happened then took to the streets in protest by the situation soon descended into riots with demonstrators starting fires and clashing with police. police admitted to having no control over the riots the koran burning was staged by members of a danish political party called a hardline its founder is known for conducting an anti islam campaign and has now been banned from entering sweden 3 other policy that was of so far been arrested on suspicion of inciting hatred reaction locally as pota rise to as we've been hearing . the burning of the koran was actually quite revealing for a country. of sweden it showed the big problem sweden has and it showed the

problems we have with immigration the lack of control and also this state the swedish state's inability to control its own territory is also indication all of the huge demographic problem we have with immigrant groups becoming a bigger part of the swedish society and it also i think why this action was important. if we had to wait more than mostly. from there you know ignorance on the problems as we didn't cause that many swedes still think that all cultures are alike all religions are alike. but it isn't and this is one of the wakeup calls that swedes have and i think that's very important because swedish people are very naive and they need to wake up to reality and this incident here is one that shows the reality. is so racist and holy bible creation

against the muslim community that's what it's all about and i screwed up. they just want to get a pension this fashion. i'm to probe all 4 of the 4 of them and directly. or. through the new and by then you have anyway people learning. and feel minute in order to get the attention and to provoke muslims of course but i would say not only muslims. also non muslims and i think that you know it's a civil right to demonstrate again. i was very surprised that there were no more than 300 of them. and again is developing a controversial project that could see computers making life or death decisions on the battlefield sense as well linking air land sea space and cyberspace forces

making a split 2nd choice over who and where to shoot is thought the system could even eventually replace the need for senior military staff but there are huge concerns over excluding humans from decision making especially if the technology fails as we've been discussing with military and tech experts. war is really a simple thing. and i know that there is new technology out there that you know has complicated it somewhat closing with and destroying the enemy through fire and maneuver that's it there is such a thing as too much data if you get too much data you actually create a lot of friction in the decision making all you're doing is actually increasing the vulnerability of the forces engaged in combat treating your points to could be eliminated there is no danger of human beings being replaced in the decision making cycle anytime soon robots are bringing together huge amounts of data there's so much dots and others being fed into different places we need something to help the

human brain keep up with it to the point is when you let the scenes make decisions that they have found it's a real target you know this is the appropriate situation in which to engage the target you need to be seen also is going to be tasked with any responsibility for deciding what are their civilians around some other reason why we don't want to write you know you're basically making it fully autonomous there are no pure autonomy weapon systems out there today that are filtered by any western country and we're oversimplistic simplifying conflict currently there are very few conflict situations where you simply close and clearly enemy most of the conflict situation we find ourselves in at the moment are dealing with enemies who are living within the population we haven't won a war on terrorism yet i mean and that's just the bottom line we've lost everyone we think gauged in one of the reasons why is that we've taken into today on the radio in northern ireland so there is there is one of the ira was an engaged with artificial intelligence the ira was engaged with old fashioned human ingenuity. of

islam a sort of military 'd force none of my points are that are the end of their intent and they were used brought in all these systems systems of systems of systems of systems and it's just not working that you've actually put the people on the grounds lives at risk if your 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 speed with that kind of technology and we're developing these systems in the us russia has to go you also so is china so are other countries and we're going to stand these systems up against each other if we are really challenging the other side very intensely we're going to want to turn the systems on so they're ready to respond in a moment's notice to an attack from the other side and 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 once the scenes have started it this is why this is so dangerous that as we get more and more sensors and we get more and more complexities in warfare it's important to us is brought in in a way that a human being can digest it in small packets to the human decision making cycle we wind bors by closing within destroying the enemy whether it's a conventional force or a terrorist with fire power maneuver we have to kill the right in any war at the end of the day as well as humans humans a very human endeavor and we 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. but if digital gen spoke you out how about a programmable peg this is true he's on the left as he's got a computer chip and have brain it's been a lot musk's neuroscience project to make brains to machines the idea is that it

could potentially cure illnesses such as strokes and even addiction ulti dot com can tell you all about that. on the way here lessons to learn that schools prepare to fully reopen their doors in england following the covert lockdown faithful parents say they are still not convinced that it's safe it's all next story when we come back.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. let it be an arms race. dramatic. i don't see how that strategy will be successful. the british government's trying to reassure parents in england concerned about their children in the coronavirus when they return to school next week officials are pointing to research that only one percent of patients needing hospital treatment have been teen age or younger and the nearly all of those had preexisting

conditions the fatality rates relatively low to 6 children have died that's compared with a 27 percent mortality rate across all age groups in britain prime minister boris johnson insists schools are safe. i think the crucial thing is that pupils get back to school next week and in the succeeding days all scientific advice is that schools are safe it's absolute crucial that people understand that there's far more risk to the wellbeing of our children from not going to school then there is from i'm afraid from the disease but a concern whether we spoke to disagrees claiming the government essentially experimenting with people's lives. i don't have any confidence because nothing's been put into place other than students around facemasks it's ok my son is a teenager so he goes to high school and you know he's been home since i think it's

march and the 1st thing children are going to do is they see their friends that greet them and they greet him by her 1st income stop the child you know social distance and it's going to be totally impossible i just don't think that you know they're not getting help before education and i think that's what meester how i believe that maybe the government is doing a little 7 x. i don't think in our lives our experiment. about $25000.00 schools in england start the academic year next week but each facility will only be provided with just 10 coronavirus testing kit said also masks aprons visors and hand sanitizer will also be stocked but again only in limited amounts and even that extremely small number was only approved after the prime minister changed his mind making masks obligatory and schools would find themselves in localised lockdowns the authorities meanwhile are threatening to fine parents who keep their children at home some families have

now launched a petition asking him not to force pupils back to school more than 100000 signatures have been collected and the woman behind this petition believes that there's not enough known yet about the transmission of covert inside schools. the pandemic is still here the virus is still here it hasn't gone away so it's kind of it was the reason that they gave to jerry hanken the great great it gave him a vaccine and there is a hero by the reintroducing that we don't know how how this is going to translate instills in england who can see the problem in the hunches but overall attendance for schoolchildren in june and july was just 16 percent so we haven't bought any idea of how to influence this no evidence i know has given the impact assessment that we have to go to schools a whole country if you have got to individual heads to do this this essence reach it and education 2nd thing again so that means there's no national and so today's

research evidence that the whole. study in britain also says that the covert lockdown saw an alarming rise in the number of children attacking their parent researchers put the 70 percent rise of assaults down to prolonged confinement and coerced proximity higher stress levels were also blamed some of the parents have been sharing their disturbing experiences. my son beat me so badly that if the police didn't come when they did i would not be life everything is amplified there's no escape and it's not just the person being hotu is affected it's everyone that sees and hears it's the other children are traumatized by seeing us. we discussed the study with experts in psychology sociology and criminology. even before call that a lot of parents find it very difficult to discipline their children i think in britain in particular a lot of fathers and mothers are almost scared to draw aren't by injuries that give

children guidance and there's as a result of that a lot of adolescents. kind of grow up in a very constrained matter which means that they're well dench to do is develop instead of those tensions being resolved amicably or peacefully they often have a physical outcome and that's had been even before with a log ah it's obviously become much more intensified in recent months it's been terrible for you know all forms of domestic abuse we've seen rice is across every single category and the longer a lot time goes on and the longer the problems that come from the lockdown like and you know financial worries and homelessness things like that you know the 2 problems aren't going to get a white one not done ends this isn't going to end we're going to see the actual of this problem probably quite a long time so we need to take it very seriously and we need to do something about

it now and it's not just going to end when the lockdown ends you know i'm actually a covert survivor and so i've been looking at this very closely and it is without question that the lockdown had a huge effect on reducing numbers everyone scared right now you know it looks like the numbers are going to go up again and you know more large scale lockdowns i think across the world some are very likely to be honest so i think a advice to parents would be all things even more getting your kids into as many natural interactions and environments as possible get kids outside get kids exercise get kids eating natural normal food get kids having some face to face. interactions even if it's through some kind of you know face to face interaction with friends with family because that is how he'd. go the 2nd that kids are

just stuck in their room playing video games with faceless people across the world for hours on end for gays and for months on end i think we might have a problem. briefly around the world a ship funded by the renowned anonymous street artist banksy to save migrants in the mediterranean now needs rescuing itself the vessel was only launched last week but it's become stranded at sea because it's said to be too overloaded to move the 30 meter long ship had taken 200 people aboard when it sent out a message calling for help the italian coast guard came to its aid of taking away 49 of the most vulnerable people on board. another major rally by the opposition in belarus has been held in the capital has been daily protests there for almost 3 weeks since the contested presidential election so today's gathering was called the march of women and saw thousands for mccollum looking around the city center waving this symbolic red and white flag of

the opposition they claim the election was rigged and that demanding the president quit. yeah. yeah. poor handling of a recent oil spill off the coast of aristos has brought thousands onto the streets angry at the government around a 1000 tons of fuel from a japanese tanker run aground and ended up in the indian ocean reportedly. called in to officials about 40 of the mountains have been found dead. that's unusual for this thanks for checking in with r.t. this weekend i'll be back with the next world update and around half an hour to see that.

it has changed lives but pharmaceutical companies have a miraculous solution. based drugs the people who are chronic pain patients believe that their opiate prescription is working for them on the remedy be so. price that the. closer dependancy of addiction to opiates the long term use that really isn't scientifically just right now studies actually suggest that. the long term

effects might not just be absence of benefit but actually that they might be causing long term. nice guys or financial survival guide liquid assets are those that you can convert into ask why these only. to keep in mind though as a tremendous place of. record. welcome to redacted tonight this is a show where americans in america covering american news are called foreign agents so this week has been nothing but republican national convention but we had to prep this episode before the best speeches so i figured i'd give the ardency coverage break save it for the youtube page and instead focus on some of the other important things going on yes while everyone talks about nothing but how donald trump is a moron with a side of her brains there are many other important stories believe it or not for

example did you know they can predict who's going to get cancer now. yeah do you think that might deserve a man trying to aha rightly. know a chorus of god has done a lot of money in stopping cancer and quickly need to drag it. out keep it go in like a bad relationship you know don't get divorced quickly. and move on let's make each other miserable for a couple of years arguing over who gets stuff neither of us cares about like that all the armchair quote books we never use torn drapes the kids etc drag. i'll get to how scientists can now predict cancer in a moment but let's back up according to the national cancer institute in 2020 roughly 1800000 people will be diagnosed with cancer in the united states and an

estimated 606520 people will die of cancer this year in the u.s. 2nd only to eating white castle and then listening to a kanye west presidential campaign speech and anyway you get the point cancer kills a lot of people we all know that many of the most fatal cases are because people don't realize they have it until it's too late well scientific american is reporting a new experimental blood test attacks cancer for years before symptoms emerge for years they tested more than 123000 healthy individuals in ties to china which required building a specialized warehouse to store the more than 1600000 samples they eventually accrued that's. gross warehouse. samples of wasn't. any way over the following 10 years around

a 1000 participants got cancer and using the new blood test the researchers knew up to 4 years in advance which participants would get it with a 90 percent accuracy rate they knew the researchers looked at the test and said this person will get cancer years from now this person will get cancer and they were right 90 percent of the time that's incredible it's only heard of now here's my problem with this being able to know who's going to get cancer long before symptoms arise could save millions all the lives so why are we rushing this through this could save more lives than curing coronavirus oh let's get on it but why why why why is this drug not plastered across brian williams foreheads rumors sean hannity. whom i know there's not a wall to wall reporting because there's too much money tree itself.

or do you have any idea how much americans spend on cancer treatment cancer exhaust life savings 42 percent of the time within 2 years so when it comes to incredible advancements in cancer science where is congress congress will stop everything to make sure more money is drawn to dar weapons of death each year they'll come back from vacation skip their daughter's graduation missed out on their dad's funeral just a poor more cash into fighter jets or to pass bills designed to destroy the people of venezuela or syria they'll come running back to congress sprint to back leaving their toddlers sitting on a swing set lightly blowing in the wind just to make sure.
