Now we can draw on the. Sykes pekoe lines in the sun on on just a. Hello again the top stories on the aljazeera news hour pakistans Prime Minister has compared the indian governments ideology to nazi iran khan address the assembly on the pakistani side of the disputed territory of kashmir he dedicated the nations Independence Day to test married people and promised to respond to any indian aggression. Police in hong kong or fire tear gas to clear crowds gathered near a Police Station as the protesters sun laser lights out the building protests over the past few hours broke out as the airport began to return to normal after 2 days of disruption.

New details are emerging about how a u. S. Political fundraiser helped orchestrate a campaign against cats are in washington d. C. He was one of us president Donald Trumps top fundraisers is accused of illegally running a multimillion dollar Advocacy Campaign to turn the u. S. Against Qatar Campaign was allegedly funded by the u. A. E. Now a key dates in that investigation according to the New York Times is a pivotal white house meeting with President Donald Trump his chief of staff and his National Security adviser. Reportedly told an associate that he spent most of the meeting talking about the middle east including telling President Trump that qatar was part of an axis of evil. Is a senior Public Policy fellow at the American University of beirut he says the campaign was largely unsuccessful but its the scuffle you will have affects. The reality though today if you look at the u. A. E. And you look at qatar n. Washington and in the american political elite the countries are doing fine theyre not the terrorist supporting wild islamists that the saudis and what ideas have tried to paint them as while the minorities and the saudis are really in a difficult situation in the u. S. With with congressional majority votes to prohibit arms sales to them and things like that because of the killing because of the lobbying theyre doing because of the boycott of qatar and other things that they have done so to the bottom line i think is that the iraqis have not achieved anything by dealing with shady characters so its going to shed more light through serious investigations on what the u. A. E. Or the so it is or even the qataris are doing and the United States i dont think the countries have much to worry about as far as we can tell while some of the other countries have more serious issues that they have to deal with thats really the core the polow quality of the people that theyve been dealing with that is the biggest telltale sign.

Facebooks privacy policies are again raising concerns its emerged that the social media giant has been paying contractors to transcribe audio recordings from users if its platforms facebook has confirmed the practice but said it had stopped a week ago according to the tech giant the recordings have been massed so as not to reveal the identity of its customers to contractors other u. S. Tech firms like amazon and apple have also come under fire for letting audio from Consumer Devices lets speak to jodi west species the chief executive of a Technology Consultancy Global Cyber Risk joining us from washington thanks for your time with us on the aljazeera news hour the most obvious question here really is why would facebook be paying contractors to transcribe audio recordings what do they do with these audio recordings thank you they are claiming theyre doing this for product improvement but we know that facebooks primary revenue stream is from advertisements so. Transcribing these conversations for purposes of data mining and determining targeted ads to certain users of facebook would seem like the most logical reason why theyre doing that if they had previously denied they were doing it now theyre admitting it on their reality show why is it on their reaction they said that they stopped more than a week ago and they said that users affected are those who opted into having their voice trotts transcribed what do you make of their reaction. Well their terms of service apparently do not contain any information about. Transcribing conversations so thats problematic for them they said they ended a week ago previously they have denied doing this so it is a very problematic effort im not aware that they would opt in to me there with the user preferences which someone could set which would allow them to opt out and that thats much more problematic than automatic monitoring and recording in trance scribing conversations in the United States that conduct is protected conduct and its under our wiretap back so if they did not have explicit consent then theyre recording in transcribing these conversations would be an illegal act what do you make of the timing of in particular is it significant that this comes really on the back of facebook the paying a 5000000000. 00 fine to the f. T. C. In connection with its use of consumer. Coming under scrutiny for its Privacy Policy well you know its a pattern with facebook they always deny then they acknowledge and
