employed by ngo's in the country and we had productive and constructive conversation about that and lastly, i raised specifically the situation for two americans who are currently being held imprisoned here in egypt, who have been imprisoned here since 2013 and president el si-si assured me that he would give me serious attention, i told him that we would like to see the american citizens restored to their families and restored to our country even as they deal with necessary reforms in the ngo. lastly, we had a discussion about the commitment of the united states to the peace process between israelis and palestinian authority. we heard president el si-si. he said to me what he said publicly about a disagreement between friends over our decision to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel but i assured him that even as president trump made that decision, a decision that i will reaffirm in jordan and reaffirm in israel before the end of this trip that will also reaffirm what president trump also said, that we are absolutely committed to preserving the status quo with regard to hol

but what i was just tremendously impressed by and touched by were the ngos, like israaid and other ngos throughout wherever we went, the work that they were doing to help these people who were in transition, 'cause they didn't know where they were gonna go to next. >> all right. and that brings me -- did you want to jump in? >> yeah, no, it was, for me, being with nine rabbis initially was very intimidating, of course, but, you know, they are a great group of people, and, you know, not only learning during that process but spending time individually with all the rabbis and getting to know them personally was quite fulfilling, you know. i had never met a rabbi in my life, and then i met nine of them altogether, so it was great. >> and, rabbi marv, had you ever met a muslim leader? >> oh, yeah. >> okay. >> yeah. with my work with the board of rabbis, there's a lot of interfaith work we do. >> of course. erin, i wanted -- rabbi marv and abbas were talking about the work, the ngos -- non-governmental organizations -- that do so much. what does israaid do for the refugees? how does that work

ousmane gning works for an environmental ngo. he advises the women and heleld them get funds from the un-backed green climate fund. he also helps farmers here. >> the vegetable growers also want to benefit from the fund. what can it do for them? they need to acquire new skills. yoyou have helped us so far, bt you mustn't leave us alone now. there is more to do. the money for this project did not come from senegal, but from an international fund. >> the soil the women are working on is still salty, but they want to find out whether they can already resume farming here. they have planted a small patch of rice as an experiment. they will know in about two months if the soil is recovering and will yield a crop.p. a tanker truck suddenly appears. ththe driver has evidently just dumped a load of human waste. yama ndiayaye is really angry. >> it is destructive. it disrupts the ecological balance. it is toxic. >> the truck does not have a number plate, and the driver wants to hide his face. the forester, mamadou sagna, is also a lieutena

some ngos have often clalaimed e shrimp industry in bangladesh is necessary to development. they arere affected by commercil shrimp agriculturere. >> people who arare living i in areas the shrimp is being cultivated are being comompletey devovoid of their l livelihoodsf theirr lives.. it is s system that is not sustainnable. and as to provide the eight cheaplyy in the cocountry, how cocould that be dedeveloped? >> our invevestigation found thr often met with intimidation, violence, and false charges. they f favor the shrimp f farme. >> [speaking foreign lananguage] shsh me the nearest starbrbks -- >> it is commonplace. they're one of the few who are prepared to speak out against a shrimp farm employee who raped her in 2008. >> [speaking foreign language] >> our research into bangladesh shows that their shrimp indususy has s forged a crucial path of ongogoing ecologigical destructn and human rights abuses for the last two decades. they are subjecting thousands of people to extreme poverty while also potentially undermining the health of consumers. it doesn't have to be like t

javier: speaking of wealth inequality, just like last year, the international ngo oxfam released its annual inequality report in time for the world economic forum. oxfam says the number of billionaires worldwide has increased to 2049 in the past year, with their combined wealth going up 13%. there is nothing bad with more billionaires, but it comes at a price. let's look at some of those figures. 82% of the global wealth that was created in the last year got to the wealthiest 1%. that is what oxfam is saying. let's put that into perspective. in just four years, the ceo of one of the world's top fashion brands earns as much as a seamstress in bangladesh her entire life. to make things even worse, oxfam also notes that billionaires are usually experts in tax avoidance. they are paying about 2000 billion dollars less in taxes than they should, according to the respective loss of their countries. compare that to development aid paid out by the leading industrial nations to less developed countries, which is just $145 billion. while the world is looking at millionaires and stars in davos,

aid funding to go directly to christian ngo's in the region. not only across the arab world, but specifically in areas of iraq and syria bessette by war. >> martha: in terms of egypt and military funding, there's been discussions about cutting that back in the trump administration. will that be followed through on? and will you essentially say that if there aren't more objector object s objector is observations to civil rights that they would lose that funding? >> the support we provide egypt is an element of our relationship. my message will be, how can we find ways to strengthen the ties between the united states and egypt and make it possible for us to move forward in a way that advances the security of both of our countries and the security of the region. >> martha: okay. congress just hopping forward to your visit to nevada this week. you'll be there to support them. how do you see your role in the 2018 elections. lot of people saying republicans will have a pretty uphill battle in 2018. >> well, for the party in power in the white house,

the age of five are living in poverty is worse in wales a little bit worse in scotland are all the ngos at the moment there was a report based. re saying the system is failing overall i think there's increasing recognition that to address the things that we care about most whether it's an ngo that's looking at housing or whether it's save the children or whether it's oxfam looking at poverty in the u.k. or the joseph roundtree foundation who you found that one in eight people that are working a living in poverty there's many of these organizations that are recognizing that to address all these concerns we have to look at where the power is and where the wealth is and so yes i think there is a kind of common discourse that we have to look at inequality if we're going to fight for the causes that are really important to us about the danger that. these elites will actually divide those who are already poor from one another there's obviously case of malnutrition in britain legacy arguably the twenty rate rises how because they can see the c.e.o.'s earning that much money is this ninety nine

ngos that provide highly actionable flags. -- of course, we rely on our technology. which has always been a critical part of our solution. our image matching techniques for example, can prevent dissemination of violent content by touching real uploads of bad content before it becomes public. nonetheless, given the evolving nature of the threat, it is necessary for us to continue enhancing our systems. over the past year in particular, we have taken several steps to build on our efforts. the first is an investment in machine learning technologies for the detection and removal of violent extremist videos. we recently deployed classifiers that detected new terrorist content and flag it for review. machine learning is now helping our human reviewers remove nearly five times as many videos as they were before. today, 98 percent of videos we were loath for violent extremism are identified by our algorithms. second, we are focused on improving and expanding our expertise and resources on these issues. we expanded our trusted program to an additional 50 ngos in 2017 includin

i think 35,000 ngos thousand ngos are set up to help our vets but the real challenges why it works and what does it we don't to be the jury that highlight the programs that we know are effective. here is a guy who takes the vets like where a hurricane has hit or an earthquake and they are part of the recovery team it is appear to. counseling group serving somebody else which is part of healing. in the book there are a number of people that are recovering nicely because they are now working to help somebody else's life improve. you don't have to be a vet to realize the benefits of serving your fellow man. >> you mentioned there is talk about the 1% but you point to those that defend the remaining 99%. >> don't talk about the remaining 1% that's not me. i am on a pension. [laughter] that is less my medicare premium. [laughter] >> is there something the government can be doing better for veterans? >> the virginia has some very good programs also some that get a frustrated so first to be sure they are responsive but do voice jens joint ventures that are effective.

twitter has participated in more than 100 ngo trainings and event around the world since 2015. we work with respected organizations to empower credible, nongovernmental voices against violent extremism. as part of a continuing effort to make twitter a safe place for open democratic debate, late last year, we broadened our rules to prohibit accounts affiliated with violent extremist groups and to make hateful imagery much harder to find on our platform. we also stepped up our enforcement of abuse reported by witnesses and increased transparency about our enforcement decisions to further educate our users about our terms of service. twitter has also devoted significant resources to combat disinformation and election interference by foreign state actors. to prepare for the u.s. midterm elections, this year, a cross functional elections task force is prepared to verify major party candidates as a hedge against impersonation, to continually improve and apply our technology to address networks of malicious automation, and to monitor trends and spikes in conversations related to the e

sectors also side to talk more about that we can cross over to helena humphrey in davos helena oxfam the ngo has a pretty strong stance on this. they certainly do have year in oxfam's inequality report server award work cannot well faith point out that eighty two percent of all the wealth generated last year is now in the hands of just one percent of the population to discuss how to close that gap i'm joined now by the executive director of oxfam international will be on you my thank you very much for joining us on d. w. what single way what measure would you recommend to close that gap as soon as possible what do you want people here to do when they leave this luxury resort to see that inequality that we show in our reports of some report is a result of choices that politicians and business people make if they make different choices the gap could close such as so we would like governments political leaders to take the driving seat and manage the economies for the benefit of the majority are not for the few at the top so for example they should institute a living wage a minimum wage which is

there is the belief that ngos represent the greatest approach to solving problems and i think that ist. business was right behind ngos and it is noteworthy that 63% also look to business to engage in societies challenges while delivering —— while delivering profit. there is an increase in trust and ceos in an expectation that ceos will begin to engage in societal issues and discuss societal issues. a call—back to last week for the call for businesses to be active in society. it does not only affects those who are in politics whether people believe fake news real news, it affects businesses as well because your company could be the target of a fake news campaign. howard concern is this causing amongst all of the ceos and the leaders that you're talking to in davos? how worried are they about this? i think we are all conscious that we are living in a very dramatically changed age. and that social media and the information being disseminated by social media can be used for illjust this —— can be used for illjust as well as good. people are looking to facebook and the changes they have ma

but ngos working in conservation say what really stops effective policing is a lack of money.n buy fuel for their vehicles. these are in national parks, often, where it's happening. the authorities seem powerless. yes. u nfortu nately, most of the sapphires, gems, even gold rushes that we've had have been in protected areas, sometimes national parks. and it's all illegal, of course, but then, there is very little capacity to enforce legislation generally in madagascar — especially in very, also remote areas, because you have, i mean, they are usually remote areas so it's even more difficult to enforce the law in this case. do you think the government wants to enforce the law? i wouldn't dismiss also that there is maybe a lack of willingness to act. which means gems from illegal mines continue to flow to the capital and on into backstreet workshops. here, skilled hands and sharp eyes work to unlock the value of the gems. stones will go through several pairs of hands before they reach the capital antananarivo and a place like this, where they're cut and polished for export. a st

regular support and financial assistance are part of the ngos' program. the families have to be carefully integrated into the community, but there are communal events to help with that. marcela benitez searched hard before she found colonia belgrano. the village may be shrinking, but the quality of life in the area is still high. as an initial step, 20 families were introduced here. they're offered an affordable plot of land and a loan. >> there will be 20 houses -- each on its own piece of land -- so every family can build their own small business there. the houses are all based on a special prototype. they're heated with solar power, and they have better insulation. each has 2 bedrooms, a dining room and a kitchen. the families can extend the house if the family grows. for many argentinians, those are idyllic living conditions. the governer of the state of santa fe supports the initiative. 2000 families across the country applied, and these are the ones that were selected. here they'll have less income, but a better quality of life.
