2:01 pm
despite being cleared for release after it emerged he'd been mistaken for a terrorist. and a former researcher at google accuses the tech giant of using the racist algorithms . she revealed it all to ortiz going underground. ah, oh, bring you all your latest news stories. this is our t international. i'm your host donald quarter. welcome to the program. russia is pulling the plug on its permanent mission to nato. the complete suspension of its operations set to take place in 2 weeks is in response to the alliance, kicking out a number of russian diplomats for a legit espionage ortiz roman coaster, has more russian foreign minister made the announcement on monday saying that says, starting on november 1st,
2:02 pm
moscow will completely suspend the operations of its mission to nato, and from now on any emergency communications between the u. s. lead block and russia will be done through the russian embassy in belgium, while an ambassador, alpha, nate of member states in moscow chosen by the alliance, can perform similar functions here in russia. so this cons, just 2 weeks after nato announced that it would expel 8 russian diplomats for a legend, undisclosed espionage at its brussels headquarters. and that should be in effect on the 1st of november as well. well, according to the russian foreign ministry, it became yet another move on naples behalf to use the so called russian threats as a unifying factor for the alliance. and another reason to remain in international demand is here from the russian. foreign minister nichol will use noon. you put a chill, 0 explanation was given for the expulsions. and
2:03 pm
a few days before the announcements we met with mister stoughton bug in new york. he stressed that nicer had a sincere interest to normalizing relations with russia, so as to de escalate tensions on the european continent cuz we weren't particularly surprised by the decision. what is it all confirms that nato is uninterested in equal dialogue or joint work? sir dale ever of added that the nato information bureau and moscow will also be shut down as a result. why? meanwhile, the nato international secretariat has already been notified and the russian foreign ministry statement added that, sir. it is not expecting any shift in relationship with nato in the near future. independent journalist lucrative a believes channels of communication between russia and nato, will remain open. all nato signed to, to show for us to show that they are, you know, that the tough guys come in and this is no good. oh, thank god,
2:04 pm
what's important in that is that the relation between mr. putting in bitin as improved much at the geneva meeting and data. what that is, what needs to be followed the fact that negotiations have stopped again on, on a nuclear armament on, on major issues between united states, between super powers, between america and on russia and doc that is to be followed. and there, there seems to be a dialogue open, which is this is part of the diplomatic bali, you know, on one that our problems issues of course they did the core issues are really the crimea issue. i mean, there was ga us since 2014 the relations f f on been not frozen, but have diminished loc between russia and nato, which switch with normal russia has taken a major step forward and readying the nord stream to pipeline to pump natural gas
2:05 pm
to millions of european homes, the 1st of 2 sections has now been filled to the required level of pressure and work is currently underway to fill the rest of the network with which links russia to germany via the baltic sea. the pipeline still needs final approval from german regulators. l comes as europe is gripped by an energy crisis with gas prices recently at record breaking levels. much of the media has pointed the finger at russia for that despite moscow honoring its gas contracts and promising to boost supply. as ortiz, charlotte to pinsky takes up the story. well, more concern, hey, in the you over a possible winter crisis because of this increasing cost in energy, particularly gas so much so that the ease own labor commissioner is warning that this winter, many more people could be pushed into fuel poverty. there are already millions of people suffering from energy poverty,
2:06 pm
and that number could increase the commission could help e u. countries to limit the effects of the current high energy prices on people. but it was primarily up to national governments to take action. already we understand that around 2700000 households across the block are facing difficulties in reasonably heating that home. and those are individuals who are in jobs at the moment. so that figure doesn't include pensioners. it doesn't include students and it doesn't include the unemployed. so the actual figure is far higher than that. and while some e member states have already taken measures to try and shield the most vulnerable form, these price increases. other politicians are rather looking to point the blame elsewhere . and the finger is wagging towards russia with many saying that russia is responsible for this crisis that been countless. i'd magazine articles, debates on tv and radio, and even front covers all suggesting this just like this recent front cover in
2:07 pm
germany on the focus magazine are which says that putin, his cast off energy to germany, that a, he's waging a war and he's raising the prices using gas as a weapon? well, that has baffled some in germany, including the countries outgoing chancellor anglo merkel. who is not somebody known to min. so odds says this gift kiner to my knowledge, there are noses the russia has said we will deliver it to you, especially not with regard to the pipeline in ukraine. russia can only deliver gas on the basis of contractual obligations. and not just only like at the moment russia supplies around 50 percent of the use gas and doing the pandemic that did it taper off a little bit. but when it said that the supplies are back to normal at the moment, and there were some, unless you say, you know, this is nothing to do with russia. this is all a problem that is be made by the e you itself until a few years ago, the european energy market was very stable,
2:08 pm
characterized by 10 to 15 year gas contract with russia. but then brussels wanted to introduce more flexibility with fuel along to him con trucks to reduce its dependence of russian. got that by increasing price volatility and feeding the current crisis. or that decision has seen companies having to via for gas on the open market. meaning that they've been in competition with other markets such as the asian market, and it's just not that that some see is the problem. others have pointed the idea towards the fact that the e u is pushing too fast, too hard to move to green energy sources at the same time. it's not done enough to get those sources working while it's been aggressively shutting down gas fields domestically. and it's been taxing heavily carbon fuel power station, all of which, which is contributed to this issue. so possibly not as sexy is pointing the blame
2:09 pm
russia and saying that president putin is waging a war on europe. but it does seem as if that is the reality of many of the problems that europe is facing ahead of this possible winter of discontent. earlier my colleague unit o'neill spoke to journalist and author thomas fast, bender, who believes it's mostly the media playing the blame game against russia. this part offer of you can all already say it vendettas and to russian vendetta that has been going on building up in germany, certain german media over the past 2 years. and there it is really bordering on the observed because the same media who are for years maintained the position that we don't need a 2nd pipeline north stream and the board dixie. we don't need any more ration guess the u. s. will supply us with their freaking guests, l. n g at ample volumes. now they are throwing the lane game at russia,
2:10 pm
and they're really being offended. why doesn't russia, why doesn't gas from supply us with more gas? so that's why i say it's, it's sort of absurd here. instead of asking why doesn't the us suppliers with more el and gee, we heard as well. tell us that e, you labor commissioner warning of energy poverty, a line that we're hearing quite a bit recently. and because of an already difficult situation for millions of people at high prices is the worst yet to come. in your opinion, it is still going to get worse. because the situation as such is absolutely serious for 2 reasons. um, the word economy did not expect the it to pick up speed as soon as it, as it does after the corona crisis, plus european guests suppliers or bias of russian and other guests of volumes did not expect. i did not feel up after the cold winter did not fill up their reserves
2:11 pm
. probably they expected the 2nd after a rather luggage corona year, where doesn't which trim to come into that? here we have the observed situation that people are that european con guest consumers suffer under high gas prices. that we have an additional volume of 55000000000 cubic meters per year, which is physically installed. the licenses are not yet given for g. political reasons. there is a fight against giving the licenses, so there is a geopolitical lobby who fights against getting this additional volume on on line. while at the same time, gas consumers in europe, a mate victim, sir, have to suffer because of cio, political interests of some of their governments. it is observed is 2nd time i use this would observe that we have this addition of actually rushes is filling the gas pipeline with guess physics, the pipe le, with guest for the 1st time right now. so if, if of course, western governments,
2:12 pm
german government would ease the licensing process, now this could be online, available for consumers in a couple of months, a week, weeks a month. but she had a geopolitical interests are fighting against that. after being tortured and held captive for 17 years to pakistani national has finally been cleared for release from america's guantanamo bay prison. however, being clear doesn't actually mean he walks free and it's all happening despite washington admitting that he should have never been detained in the 1st place, where a gasdio explains. mohammed's rabbani is one of want animal base, longest serving inmates 17 years and one month he has been locked up in get mo, by all accounts, innocent, never charged with any terror related offenses. never bored to trial. once a taxi driver, his crime was that he was in the wrong place at the wrong time. on september,
2:13 pm
the 10th 2000 t pakistani authorities arrested to individuals believe to be hassan, go and his driver, outside the apartment complex by september, the 11th 2002, it was determined that an individual named mohammed acc, mad, glamour, bonnie or sinners, abu bader, and his driver were arrested and not ass and go. the awful irony here is that the real her son, gall bin laden's messengers, he's known who rabbani was mistaken for was captured and handed over to the cia in 2004. he was later released in 2007 went back to his old ways and was killed in a drone strike. and still mohammed rabbi the is serving someone else's time in guantanamo the years. and the presidents came and went. they admitted that the arrest was a case of mistaken identity, and yet he is still there. guantanamo is all about lies,
2:14 pm
hypocrisy and broken promises. they promised me that they might let me out for a review of my detention, but i came to nothing. you can almost track his tragedy in released cia and pentagon documents. he was initially tortured at the sole pit and atoria cia jail in afghanistan, where terrible things were done to inmates to extract confessions ra body was allegedly identified as the man mentioned, and several cia torture memos who was hung by his wrists in arn chains and who attempted to amputate his own hands for stop. the pain being cleared for released may be a personal victory for him, but in practice, in bond on them obey. that doesn't mean anything. one of my clients, homes, hotel california at me, you can check out, but you can never leave for men are soother, though they were cleared over 10 years ago. but at least we're now going to be
2:15 pm
arguing about when he should go home, rather than whether what little joy and hope there is to be had. this is knowing that he has a son waiting for him. a son who was born after his arrest and about whom he only found out when the boy was 6 years old. just imagine life would be like for your family without your father. just imagine what it would be like if your father was at guantanamo, how could they ruin 20 years of someone's life? there is no way of knowing when and e for a body will be released and what he will make of a world of a life that he was deprived of by mistake. the scars from torture, the, the trauma from long years of isolation, the stigma of being a guantanamo inmate will always stay with her body as will memories of war and terra's churning merciless military bureaucratic machine that even upon realizing
2:16 pm
its mistake, took years to correct it. for you as secretary of state, colin powell has died at the age of 84, although he was fully vaccinated. pal's immune system was weakened by cancer treatment and he died from complications from cove. it his family said in a statement. he was one of the most prominent figures in us politics for many years serving under multiple presidents throughout his long career, appointed secretary of state in 2001 power became the 1st black person to serve in that post. the 4 star army general also held the highest military position in the united states. first, under george bush senior. there were controversial moments in his tenure at the forefront of american political life as well. perhaps most notably his 2003 addressed to the un pol, made the case for the u. s. invasion of iraq holding up a vile of white powder to insinuate the country had weapons of mass destruction. he was widely accused of telling the assembly miss
2:17 pm
a misleading tale and outright lies and of citing fabricated intelligence. he is survived by his wife and 3 children a former co leader of google's ethical a. i research team has accused the tech giant of ramp and surveillance, and of specifically targeting ethnic minorities 10 minute gay brew left google last year. she says that she was fired for writing an article, exposing racism in the tech giant's algorithms. google though insist she resigned, gave bruce spoke to ortiz, going underground. we're airing the full interview throughout the day, but here's a short taste. what is on this vehicle? it? there's lots of a sudden it call right? a lot of of a p eyes that sell automate automated facial and that is tools. we showed that they were much there. they had much higher error rates for darker skinned women than lighter skinned men. this is referred to as ignition. yeah, yeah,
2:18 pm
and that's spurred a lot of movement because a lot of people have been worried about surveillance related technology anyway. so that spurred a lot of movement to ban some of these, they use of some of these technologies by law enforcement because they're mostly used to surveil a lot of marginalized communities. and so for me, that's an ethical, a palestinian. he wrote good morning on facebook. and it was translated to attack them and people didn't even see the initial didn't check to see what he initially wrote. they wrote, they saw the translation and they arrested him. so this was a google translate era. this was, this was a facebook translate here, that the underlying technology of large language did. they all use large language model. so what we were saying was sometimes when you have machine translation, you get these cues when you have, when, when you have errors, right?
2:19 pm
you can see that the grammar is not quite right. you can see that something is wrong. but with these large language models, you can have something that sounds so fluent and coherent, and it's completely wrong. so you only with these companies. and why would these companies visiting? there's no malice there. there's a mistake in the algorithm, and in the, in the software engineering, why would they seek to minimize the publicity given to papers that showed these areas so that they could, i went in. i would disagree that there is no malice, these large language models cuz fume a lot of compute only the people with these kinds of huge compute powers are going to be able to use these large language models. and that leads we what to what we talked about as being environmental reasons that people who benefit from large language models are not the people who are paying the cost.
2:20 pm
ah, now today we continue our special coverage of a new landmark in cinema and space. travel on sunday, a russian crew returned to earth after the world's 1st film shoot in orbit actress julia paras, hilde and director clim shipping. coke spent 12 days on the international space station marked making scenes for their extra terrestrial drama. ah ah! as the crew successfully landed our correspondent constantine raj, cough got the chance to witness the historic landing and catholic state ah, a few hours last before we can find, let me know if they have already on dr. national say that they already somewhere i padding back a dad why door?
2:21 pm
the landing spot know me. we know the approximate landing location in berry. so now we're gonna fly around. i feel we can actually see that as standing module and wait until it touches down with well as we can see, to counselors on the ground. the crew is still inside, but we've been told that they're feeling. all right. somebody is speaking with the crew right now. so history has been made russian professional filmmakers and just went into spain, but also safely return to earth,
2:22 pm
with footage for their 1st have earth feature movie that pass footage, taken in actual space. the whole crew are treated like heroes. with all this is film director, clincher, benco, safe and sound just came from the space. the international space station is 400 kilometers above the earth surface. and a returning spacecraft usually covers the distance in 3 hours. for the most part, it's freefall and the speed can reach 120 meters per 2nd. extreme acceleration baird with gravity taking in which the crew under enormous physical rest. nonetheless, she bank, oh, seemed in high spirits. and i was where she, i said those are that were susan wiggling or dora bollicheck though. wish that she could be the glue who, who applause, marguerite, she's or can on whether the closure vadar occur. no excuse knows what she knew by
2:23 pm
the one ling bull's doro. a moon garcia grew monsieur 3 or more carefully, so that will send me to click the blue, showing you by choose tools showed her to choose to initial backwards give bush and you can use with ice cream regardless of course, most why don't i, sheena bull assumption like us, me just go shasta's early was for the machine him as anyone in particular that was actress. you library seal has just received flowers. both you let me see and cosmonaut aleck risky, had to actually been before the laughter capsule landing location turned into a film set for one of the closing scenes of the movie about a doctor who sent into orbit to perform surgery after that very sealed. who plays the lead role? laughter autograph on the capsule that not only brought her back home to day, but also sent her acting career sky work from now on. she is the 1st actress filmed in space. you can call us that you shinagle us. so it was scheduled, so if i can,
2:24 pm
if you want to go with know he'd be here with another renowned russian actor vladimir mascot who played a command or greeting the crew on the ground, sat the movie is a big leap forward for the world's film industry. the atmosphere, my bag, my little macros e was seen on hightail taurus named coarseness in order to get the zeal or i sierra know young as low. you're going to show you visual because then you just touched on me dear smugly, it's still just the social for minimal corrosion. some mature of never. i'm not going to do so better schooling. religion literacy. that theory is like a buddhist wish. you religion no much. there's digit, i'm city educator yet. this miram. yes, this jim store. i bet the good news jim, is that oh miss thorne? yes. nelly mistrusted the wet spots out of the plan. you don't look at them until yara are, let's get a closer look at the capsule. just look how actually burnt it is right here.
2:25 pm
because when the capsule hurdles through earth's atmosphere at a temperature outside reaches up to 2000 degrees celsius and it feels like you are inside a fireball, the mission is also a large stride forward for the russian space. program which made space travel possible for 2 non cosmetic after just 4 months of training. and it's more than space tourism. it's about professionals from different areas and not just career cosmo now's been able to go into space and either job be acting or something else. as, as the had a russia space agency to be the mom would have to go through a divorce beside the scope of them. but that it was not a b 2 at the cutterson lowest denise, but other bisnel rich up. but i am able to go through, but don't some of you all a cup, but i am for to go to him but, but that it was good percentage of him and he just on them, but got the him of plan. ah, there is a lot of food for thought in the months to come about that,
2:26 pm
but for now everyone here including us, is just extremely excited to witness something that will definitely go down in history. as in a rush, got reporting from as a stand while, while the crew were filming, was filming in outer space, their nearest and dearest were anxiously awaiting their return. here on earth, the families of julia, paris, sealed, and clim. she panko told us about the emotional ride they themselves were on. listen, really low. if a lot of this is a volunteer. now you have a nice shinnecock all with the time back home. i meant to call that a bush valuable study of the mediately, but it's quite as this is a chef by me, which is a way for them when you, so she doesn't get the cuz she least it shows them what the issue

2:30 pm
a i presumably different to the squid game, i haven't seen all of that series, but presumably everybody's talking about what is africa? and the cal ai is, i consider it to be a feel that tries to ensure that while we work on at technology, we're working on it with foresight and trying to understand what the negative potential negative societal impact are and minimize dose and try to work on something that's actually beneficial for humanity. so started by saying what is on the ethical ai? there's lots of a sudden i think, call right. i think that whenever you, so for example, as a part of my work taught of showed that my collaboration with joy pull me nice and showed that a lot of of a p eyes that sell automate automated facial ness is tools. we showed that
