12:03 pm
it looks like it's happening again the killing of dante wright was shot by a police officer has sparked a new wave of protests anger is boiling over stores are being looted but this time some store owners are saying they're not ready to just be victims their arms to the teeth again peaceful protesting expressing yourself we fully support that. but the ravaging our businesses the looting of our stores. the destruction to our pharmacies we cannot tolerate that just like last summer calls to defund the police or getting support from politicians an accidental discharge that kills someone has another name manslaughter we don't need police with lethal weapons carrying out routine traffic stops re allocate police funding to traffic forces to remove even the possibility of state sanctioned manslaughter it wasn't an accident policing in
12:04 pm
our country is inherently and intentionally racist done to right was met with aggression and violence i'm done with those who condone government funded murder. no more policing incarceration and military zeeshan it can't be reformed the police are once again the target of concentrated rage from black lives matter and its allies growth we're seeing much happening in the way of actual police reform or some change happening but for the most far at least at the street level or at the point where people get a reaction with the police were seen very little at the end of the day the priests continue slaughtering american citizens on the streets of a daily basis i don't think it's so much that people hate the police so much as the people he used by the police and the lack of accountability that characterizes the american police state a significant portion of the citizenry are basically tired of this of this mom stop
12:05 pm
and will slaughter the reputation of law enforcement is once again in the spotlight with the unrest now growing many wonder how much of the community will get destroyed in the coming outrage but analysts wave of protests and looting sparked by the very same people expected to defend the u.s. citizens. r.t. new york. the muslims in france rickey's in the government are trying to control every aspect of their lives from what they wear to how they school their children and it's far a bill recently adopted in the 1st reading in the senate and the stated aim of the draft phil is to post the republican principles and to combat separatist tendencies with more on the story it depends. france's plans to defeat separatism have already caused alarm bells to ring particularly amongst the muslim community they've said that the north seeks to divide and could provoke hatred of muslims now
12:06 pm
the country's senate has voted to make an already controversial bill well explosive in a bid to fight against extremism senators adopted measures including a ban on parents wearing visible religious symbols if their company children are old school trips essentially a ban on he jabs turbans or skull caps the book he would be banned public swimming pools prayers would be banned on the university premises so too would any display of a foreign flag at a wedding are listed up was the reaction to what's next and what we can no longer speak of a functioning democracy in france given all these measure is this if you're a minority but more generally once these laws are passed they apply to everyone so yes there is a state of excitement. and the human rights and the centrist.
12:07 pm
government that you have with him only we must hold opening the gates of hell against human rights and civil liberties in france who look at the situation and say france is not a war was going by the british this is definitely a political. war i guess the text also mentions a ban 1 on young girls wearing a hijab in public places that sparked a flurry of anger on social media sparking the hash tag hands off my job france will host the generation equality forum later this year but in this scene time it's legislators continue to entrench the rights of muslim women stop treating women as a 2nd ignorant class women can dress the way they. you want to hit a ban is not on the offensive to muslim women it's offensive to all women what is the difference between those who impose. a specific government and women like that but it goes. and the people who want to impose that with women what they can wear i
12:08 pm
cannot wear i see absolutely no difference so in the case of muslim women there are seen either as victims or that the white men should and if she says but go this is my body and i should decide when i want to wear and what not to wear she is treated as a prince and i was a no no i of the most obscurities or the most for the moment there is forces and there was also a last minute amendment that was our did by the interior minister and requested by president macro that will allow authorities to stop of foreign organizations from setting up private schools in france what's happening today is a we see or read the book or at the game any type of freedom muslim is a which then change the rules of the games in order for muslims to be the cause of losers in order for them to not profit off. the quality of brotherhood the proposed
12:09 pm
to the north has also been condemned by human rights groups such as amnesty international this proposed law would be a serious attack on rights and freedoms in france he would allow public authorities to fund only organizations which sign a contract of republican commitment of a key defined concept which is wide open to abuse and threatens the very freedoms of expression and association the french authorities claim to stand for the bill isn't yet certain to pass in its current form there are still discussions to be had which could see that some of these controversial amendments would be dropped in the feature but it comes at a time when muslims say that they already feel stigmatized and there is real concern that the sec. or push could be weaponized by extremist groups. now fake news or a failure to fact check that's the accusation moscow has laid at c.n.n. store after the channel broadcast
12:10 pm
a video that supposedly shows russia bolstering its military presence along the border with ukraine the cell phone footage is a merge of armored columns like this one. and of military hardware being transported by rail towards the border. ok let's go through some of those claims because the railway station you can see which c.n.n. said is in russia is actually located in eastern ukraine it's the 4th largest city of dinette and you can see the same roof and columns to you in this photo of the station and as for the train itself well it has the same blue and yellow details of other ukrainian trains while on the exterior of the carriages you can see the ukrainian insignia too well as the tanks moving past in the video they are of sauvie era type tanks still in widespread use around the world russia's foreign ministry had this message for the broadcaster d.s.
12:11 pm
in them and it's friendly team we understand that you have no time for fact checking that you are so deeply involved in the ideological struggle for the triumph of liberalism but don't that deep to present ukrainian tanks at the ukrainian station with the ukrainian train behind as the background for russia preparing for war. but it was at the end of last month the situation in the conflict zone known as the donbass region once again began to escalate ukraine and the self-proclaimed republics internets can again 60 blame each other for the intensifying of military activities in the area at the same time care facilities moscow is increasing its military presence near the border the kremlin they are suspended by saying it can do what it wants within its own territory and c.n.n. has now deleted the photo of the tanks from its website although the video report can still be found online we have contacted the network asking for comment a legal a media analyst the line or says that is likely c.n.n.
12:12 pm
will turn a blind eye to the mistake it's pathetic it is journalistic malpractise nonfeasance misfeasance there is no excuse to get the the only innocent 2 parties to get them correct i mean this is the they should be if this was the real world day should be horrified heads should roll but you know what's going to happen. nothing. nobody cares you know why and this is very interesting because it's c.n.n. they're in there good too is their excuse it's their their kevil are there they're there i guess their immunity if they're getting that wrong something
12:13 pm
a vat grave nature think of the little things they're getting wrong and you're paying absolutely nowhere tension to. the family have a palestinian teenager is claiming that he lost an eye after being hit by an israeli rubber bullet well this is unverified video of the moment the bullet struck it does appear to confirm the teenager's claim though he was working in a local palestinian grocery store at the time while israeli troops clash with protesters nearby. i can feel that moment i was inside the shop and far away from those countries i want to be treated and have a new i it hurts so much i want to continue studying and learning. the israeli army has acknowledged clashes in the area and the troops used rubber bullets after having rocks thrown at them but they did say to them an investigation found there was no direct fire poured the store the city of hebron is largely under
12:14 pm
palestinian control but around 20 percent of it is administered by israel now the grocery store in which the palestinian boy was injured is located close to an israeli checkpoint which sees regular clashes with protesters and to be able to transfer the teenager to decent john i hospitalise family did have to pass through at least one of the checkpoint his father explained to us how all this led to his son losing and i. thought i got a call from the shop owner where my son works and i was told that my son had been shot in the face and that he's in hospital i went there and the doctors were already treating him the supervising doctor told me that my son needed to be transferred to another hospital since he was in critical condition we waited for about 45 hours for the transfer proveable then the guys here tried to do something about it so they carried my son back to the israeli checkpoint and told the soldiers you shot him you treat him the israelis told us to go to
12:15 pm
a checkpoint in bethlehem and we kept waiting for an ambulance there again for over 4 hours there we were told that my son would be treated at their own expense the hospital was reluctant to treat him and they kept asking for the transfer papers the doctor called me to say that he can't do anything about my son because he didn't receive any transfer papers at 230 the doctor said they had to remove my son's i as he had shattered bones behind the eye one day after the surgery they sent my son home. now around the recent attack on one of its nuclear facilities. which it blames on israel prompted it to boost uranium enrichment to 60 percent durans move has put pressure to home talks currently in vienna aimed at reviving the 2015 nuclear agreement well arty's going underground show has been discussing israel stand on the cord with the former m i 6 agent alice to croak you can watch the interview in full on our website but here's a taste of what was said. netanyahu has been stark along on one track on
12:16 pm
iran by 20 years saying iran is only a few months away or 2 years away at most from a nuclear weapon and he's his policy has basically been one of containment compared her over containment not just containment but forever and that policy is not work and has to be working and israeli officials have started to question it and for the 1st time we've heard explicit public pushback from senior security and intelligence officials saying you know actually we'd like to go back to the j.c. . and what's more we want to go back and we suggest we go back without adding anything to it no questions including missiles or other aspects into a negotiation. j p p o if we want to go back to that israel was safer at that time than it is now and
12:17 pm
these are senior officials former heads of mossad talking about it. as the lead for us to italian mez have turned to norm the member summary now to get russia. jab and made wider shortages in the brockwell have a look at the details of this story because of this take just awful.
12:18 pm
when i was told small seemed wrong all rolled just all. the world to get to shape out this day coming out again and again training equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground.
12:19 pm
welcome back now the mayors of italian tennis have chosen an unusual way to tackle a shortage of covert vaccines because they've written to the neighboring republic of san marino asking it to provide their residents with russia's jab or the microstate which isn't any member and doesn't need the european medical agency's approval has been using the jab since late feb some marine officials hope to reach immunity to by the end of may with a vaccine the mayors of san diego and korea know told us that they can't afford to wait for the approval and need to do what's best for their people. and leo or somebody else our son leo and san marino brother towns that have been friends for more than a 1000 years we wrote this letter because many italian citizens work in the republic of san marino and we requested to use the sputnik vaccine to protect our citizens who work in san marino it is obvious that our citizens in fact do live together and for many hours
12:20 pm
a day it was natural for me to ask my friends in san marino to use the sputnik vaccine which had been available for many weeks in san marino and the results were excellent i'm sure some reno politicians are considering the possibility of quickly accepting arrow request especially considering the news that the johnson and johnson vaccine rollout is now blocked by the united states and 200000 doses arriving in italy held up at customs of your work at be thought in this difficult here we have realized that the only response to the pandemic worldwide is a vaccine ordinary citizens do not care where italy gets the vaccines from they interested in the fact that there is a solution from a practical point of view in terms of saving human lives thus the so in the way of vaccinate all our citizens the sooner we can get back on track. including from an economic point of view europe has decided to develop a common strategy and that is why we're lagging behind where very late and that is
12:21 pm
why it is my duty as mayor to give concrete answers and solutions to the citizens i usually say that i'm a rural mayor who needs short answers to questions about the world economy i have many appointments after the news spread that san marino was able to give the vaccine even to 16 year olds my phone started ringing with calls asking me to do something for my citizens and this is what i'm doing meanwhile telling governments antique ovid f. is have pushed the owners of restaurants they're still close for indoor dining on to the streets they clashed with police for a 2nd day running they want all the lock downs lifted they say claiming that the survival of their businesses is at stake cafes restaurants are going to reopen until the end of the month or the latest rally protesters waved their underpants in the air with the slogan we have nothing but our underwear left the demonstrators claim the financial support supposedly available just isn't really true. we were
12:22 pm
still living on the little money we made during the summer it's not possible to work only one month per year and have to stay closed for the remaining months. with distance and rigid rules whoever does not respect them can be expelled but we must work we can't wait any more. we need to work with they won't let us work the aids does not arrive there he doing the state of emergency collect the money in advance from our taxes they've already reserved for themselves the aid money. facebook has found itself in hot water after it's algorithm suspended the official account of a small french town because it considered its name to be offensive although the incident has now been resolved for many locals has left a bitter taste in their mouth. they're telling me that they're sorry but i won't forget this what concerns us is that it's not the rule of law that's a little suspicious. but the town is called beach and it's similarity to the
12:23 pm
english triggered facebook's content alarms despite the era being flagged it still took the social media giant there were months to restore the town's page and that has prompted other places with potentially offensive names to change the way their sites are title so let's talk more about this now with the technology expert bill me if you're deceiving hello again bill good to see what you make of this story then it's embarrassing for facebook isn't it should we be too harsh on them or does it show some basic flaws in their moderation. i think it's embarrassing and using it almost equal measure. what i think we show here is some of the limitations of automated content moderation there are numerous examples and and simple names like this should be one so we should be relatively easy to pick up on what we've heard on facebook and number of different cases where bands of
12:24 pm
a cure what is possibly less excusable is the amount of tying it has taken cities or towns like beach to are have their sights restored facebook's our customer support has possibly been lacking here but the algorithms have a limited capability but we need to look at trying to automate it in some way given the volume of material we're looking at it wasn't long ago that you tube that and a i pod cast a regular program that was constantly referring to a battle between black and whites it was only after the ban that it was informed that this was actually a chess podcast and you naturally assume it to be black and white and sick problems like these are always a caring where we're resulting far too much to automated moderation it needs to be improved but it needs to be supported by sensitive customer service sure is the
12:25 pm
technology there though bill to improve this moderation because you know facebook's got billions of accounts that it has to monitor i absolutely and i met at this moment in time you have to realize that you want to seize around speech can be very complex and obviously in this case the algorithms got it wrong. but you have to have a customer service support system that is actually going to react relatively quickly when problems occur and when complete some 8 for it to take them over a month to restore all the facebook page for this town i don't think is excusable in any way by all means let's resort to content moderation that is automated given the problems that exist but let's support this by really adequate customer support and just on a wider point to maine with artificial intelligence always improving we were told at least would you expect this sort of thing to eventually fade away because the ai
12:26 pm
will be so on top of it that you know they won't be any sheet i think we need to look at the types of content we're asking the algorithms to moderate tax is actually relatively simple and you should think that this sort of problem wouldn't be occurring because facebook boasts though it's targeting algorithms are brilliant at targeting outbursts and placing content in front of the right people but when it makes mistakes like that it shows the limitations and text is the easiest content to moderate voice is slightly more difficult you have to transcribe the boys and then examine it as text and when you come to begin that is really really very difficult and at this moment in time the algorithms simply aren't able to tell the difference trainer cats a dog and a terrorist. ok it's going to be an issue isn't it is going to run and i'm sure we'll have more stories like this to talk about in the future bill not until he has
12:27 pm
been a technology expert. thank you for watching just come up to half 7 in moscow we're back again at the top of the. but you know it's this if you're lucky you're just the 1st one to look to. the other the world lead. you just wanted to. see if it was my. leg or. the you
