Remarkable human stories of arabs abroad the politician and the inventor on aljazeera. Prizes our 1st take of the top stories here out is there the u. S. Is to release the name of a Saudi Arabian official believed to have been involved in coordinating the september 11th attacks the name will only be revealed to a limited number of people including lawyers and victims families the u. N. Says more than 2000000 people face starvation in somalia and is calling on the world to act before its too late the country is experiencing its driest rainy season more than 3 decades. Hundreds of South Africans are protesting in johannesburg against the level of gender based violence the president has described the situation as reaching crisis point. 10 u. S. Democratic Party President ial hopefuls have faced off in a National Debate in Houston Texas reforming the Health Care System gun laws and immigration a major themes in this the 3rd debate but it was the 1st time that the front runners former Vice President joe biden and Senators Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders had shared the same stage well throughout the debate the candidates really took turns to hama joe biden. If you lose your job for instance his his Health Care Plan would not automatically enroll you you would have to opt in my Health Care Plan would thats a big difference im fulfilling fulfilling the legacy of brock obama and youre not i would be surprised him. And you. Think this is why financial giants are becoming on watchable yeah when its reminds everybody of what they cannot stand about washington during points against each other and oking at each other and telling each other that youre my plan your plan look we all know thats called a democratic primary election ahead of you how to install the election you know like you know this is what were here for selection. Correspondent at the debate is rob reynolds and rob say seems very much to say the front runner joe biden took a bit of a hammering tonight did he do well how was his the film and some us about the evidence. I think martine that joe biden supporters will be very pleased with his performance tonight the former Vice President appeared more energetic than he has in past debates he was front and center throughout the entire seemingly endless 3 hour debate that left many journalists and certainly im sure Many AmericanTelevision Viewers exhausted but he didnt get away without a few stumbles there were some anachronistic comments that he made about record players that just sort of played up the fact that he is 76 years old but i dont think that its all busy in all this debate is going to shake up the nature of the race with the 3 front runners whom you mentioned in the introduction biden harris and sanders still having their constituency i would expect that Elizabeth Warren. Excuse me i meant to say warren not heiress when i was mentioning the 3 front runners beg your pardon there are others 10 of them so it gets a little complicated but i think that Elizabeth Warren did it very well tonight as well she was very controlled disciplined performance making her points very briskly and clearly i would expect that her upward trajectory in the polls would continue as it has been in the past several weeks ready. The congressman from texas made a real splash with a comment about how he would be willing to confiscate automatic weapons from their owners here in the United States that got a lot of applause but it might be something that is against the constitution of the United States and one of the lesser known candidates who leon castro who was a cabinet secretary in the Obama Administration really didnt have a very good performance he came off as seeming to be rather rude to joe biden when he said it implied that bidens memory was failing over something that biden had said previously in the debate so you know kind of a low blow there but again i just say that this is not really change the entire nature of there was no cataclysm or. You know tectonic shift here in houston tonight all right rob thank you for that well another one of our correspondents watching the debate as heidi jocasta and she was in the texas border town of macallan. This Debate Watch Party is hosted by republic texas civil rights project and they are a group of activists who look out for the interest of Asylum Seekers and immigrants trying to enter the United States we violence and poverty in Central America and some of the people here say they are particularly. Bested in fearing what some of these democratic president ial candidates are proposing as solutions to this migrant issue in of particularly concern to them is the u. S. Supreme court ruling that came out this week which allows the trump an ministration to continue its very controversial policy of automatically didnt naing us asylum to anyone who shows up at this border and who hasnt applied for asylum in another country that they pass that in effect up bends for decades of us asylum law and the activists here is say that is simply on acceptable also there is just the every day challenges of living life here so close to the border in they say under the trumpet ministration lifestyle here has change there is a significant amplification of the Law Enforcement presence theres and more surveillance and there is the border wall that is planted be built in their backyards so dons few Prime Minister abdullah dog his insol so downplay his 1st official visit since taking office he wants to improve relations between the 2 neighboring countries have a moger reports from south sudans capital juba in a nod to the relations between the 2 countries that were once one sudans newly appointed Prime Minister abdullah chose south sudans capital juba as his 1st foreign visit accompanied by 4 ministers from his cabinet he met his host south sudans president salva kiir to mark the start of a scheduled 2 day visit. As i promised early after i have been sworn in yet my friend is busy with me to work on what he actually. Are looking for a very strategic. Very distinguished relationship between the 2 nations. While some took held talks with his host his ministers met their south sudanese counterparts topping the talks were economic and trade ties to south sudan seceded in 2011 with most of sudans Oil Facilities they once brought in more than 60 percent of the countrys revenues but sudans pipelines and ports are needed to export south sudans oil the 2 also share the longest land border in africa and parts are yet to be formally demarcated more than 80 years after south sudans independence thats caused tensions in the past and was discussed in the talks we have discussed many bilateral issues concerning outstanding issues in the Peace Agreement not the reason one but the comprehensive Peace Agreement where the issues of borders issues of operations issues of economic and political issues seem to be discussed and those werent the only things brought up over the discussion table the Prime Minister has repeatedly stated he aims to achieve peace in conflict areas within the 1st 6 months of the transitional period on wednesday a coalition of Sudanese Armed group signed an agreement to start talks with the Sudanese Government mediated by south sudan on thursday how much with those groups to see how he can achieve what he terms as his top priority. The armed groups had expressed reservations too and some outright projections of the agreement signed last month that led to the creation of a Transitional Government in sudan and while they have agreed to talks to end conflicts they say achieving that will not come easy one of those telling us. Whether the current government in khartoum. The ability to overcome that the constitution the difficulty of the current political setup has been designed by the the constitutional text in a way that will put a lot of difficulties for the Peace Process the voice mostly doc is only starting his job as Prime Minister but the country has been marred by conflicts and a troubled economy and it seems that his looking to sudan southern neighbor to help find some solutions for the challenges he faces he will morgan on to 0 juba.

A new political sitcom after 27 years of dictatorship that going to destroy them that we have can we overcome a commune challenges here in looks at the new democracy and ethiopias fast changing Political Landscape through the stories of 4 diverse ethiopians know them all suddenly this is my studio where i shoot the sitcom. My ethiopia on aljazeera. And. I can unlock my phone with my face and you can access your bank account with your voice and fingerprints are often the Key Information on a national id card all of this face voice fingerprints there are biometrics unique algorithmic measurements of us that are revolutionizing the process of identification but biometrics are far from perfect they convenience and seeming infallibility comes out across most crucially our privacy. Biometrics are individual unique so much so that theyve always served as a Gold Standard for identification with really high levels of accuracy and Strong Security fingerprints and d. N. A. Databases have been the mainstay for Police Investigators for decades and across many parts of the world people who are literally used thumbprints in place of written signature. Has been researching the growing use of biometrics theres also your face now which is being recorded so thats just your facial point thats called facial Recognition Technology your voice is biometric data theres also something called gait analysis which is how you walk so those are ways that they can identify you and another way is behavioral biometrics that might be your online behavior though how you use their mouth where you click on things as you go through the internet but even how regular they are posting on facebook with a lot but you can can get just from people ordinary life and thats why its so important to have this debate and in fighting if we all are giving our consent about whether or not we want to. And if so under what circumstances and what regulatory checks. The world is on a mission a mission to give everybody a legal identity by 2030 that was a target set by the United Nations as part of it Sustainable DevelopmentGoals Campaign the key segment of the population that the un is focusing on is the more than 1000000000 people who currently have no way to prove their identity. The un verified include millions of refugees traffic children homeless and other people who never get a chance to establish documents and create a digital footprint thats so essential for modern life. Here exactly can the United NationsWorld Food Program is using Biometric Technology iris scans to provide aid to the camps 75. 1000 syrian residents refugees can shop for their groceries with the blink of an eye no need for a bank card all the registration papers the system is quite aptly named i. Went to shop a has there i risk and the World Food Program system verifies the persons identity against a biometric database held by the Un High Commission for refugees the u. N. H. C. R. Then it checks the account that confirms the purchase and prints and i pay a receipt all of this happens in seconds and according to the World Food Program is not only makes transactions quicker but more secure here in jordan we use biometrics out indication for human reason 1. 100 percent accountability on the identity of the person chasing and using the assistance that we provide and 2nd me to facilitate that entry process of the beneficiaries by not using the card by not using a pin in camps which is an environment where beneficially tend to go to the supermarket more people posting the money for then going with their own iris its easier than going with a card but it could. Be higher is unable shopping process is both fascinating and. This is a super high tech system thats been rolled out in what you could call a low writes in short people here are under the protection of the United Nations and have more rights than they would. Hads in the war zones of the countries they fled from such as syria however they also have little choice when it comes to giving up their biometrics. Programs taking somebodys biometric data from them is about the most personal data that you could take these are not people who necessarily are in a position to ask for legal representation to have this explained to them 2nd if they dont want it what is the alternative that they can exercise instead are they using behavioral psychology as something called nudge the area to make it where its just easier to hand over your data and then you get your food and your clothes and your money faster because that would be an ethical were testing out again extremely experimental really Invasive Technology on people who potentially have some of the right protections that anyone with a middle class person living in france or germany or the United States the United Kingdom or sweden can fence. Use their iris to pay for things or to transact probably not its easy to see the immense potential of the idea to track a dispersement smooth out payments and reduce the chances of corruption from the World Food Program says the benefits go even though they are able to monitor Shopping Habits and traditional take and theres a possibility in the future that the Credit Histories of the refugees could help them thank you counts getline. They also think theyve got the security bit covered. So that repeatedly leaves the management over theyve got to produce through it got to show theyre going to remember we can its you know so crude that agreement we are able to access has to be sensitive which again does not include me just the case id need for money but because we are confident that the boot up being good is. What public good. The reason why we are doing. It i got early Better Privacy and in fact assessment on the project to get and that if that had a new thread. In the world we were able to tackle them and and address them properly before they come to us. U. N. H. C. R. Remain fully committed to their Biometrics Registration Program so much so that theyre rapidly expanding it with the aim of be active in 75 countries by 2020 there remains lots of problematic questions that are that are yet to be fully answered such as is the tech foolproof who has access and how can anyone plan for the unforeseen issues to come these are the kinds of questions that have made other aid organizations pause before jumping on board with Biometric Technology in 2015 and voluntarily imposed a moratorium on its use of biometrics in its work it stated given the number of unknowns around most effective operation and governance models and risks of this incredibly Sensitive Data falling into the wrong hands we felt it was best not to become an early adopter. One field in which biometrics has long been is security and surveillance and facial recognition is one of the most popular right now in china theres been an exponential increase in the use of facial tracking and Artificial Intelligence to monitor citizens the United States also currently operates one of the largest facial Recognition Systems in the world with a database of 117000000 americans with photos typically drawn from drivers licenses and in the u. K. Police forces have been trialing life issue recognition since 2016 a public spaces such as Shopping Centers football matches protest music events and crowded city spots so this green band thats behind me here in Central London is part of the facial Recognition Technology trial thats being run by the metropolitan police and what its doing is its basically scanning peoples faces when they walk past and then comparing that to a database that has want to defend this all suspects on the met police say facial recognition could enable them to more easily protect people. Prevent offenses and bring offenders to justice however privacy groups such as big brother watch say the technology is authoritarian and lawless the groups legal and policy officer or a ferris even goes so far as to say that facial recognition is possibly the most dangerous surveillance mechanism thats ever been invented this facial Recognition Technology can capture up to 300 cases a 2nd which could be around 18000 faces in a minute its a vast vast number of people whom the police can identify check against Police Databases for that police or immigration so what were seeing is police i dont being able to identify people in seconds but put so much power in the hands of the state and the police which i think is fundamentally wrong its not democratically accountable because theres no legal basis for this so this is an intense intrusive and all thorough tarion Surveillance Technology while advocates for facial recognition would debate some of gross assertions one thing is undeniable the technology currently being used by the u. K. Police is dangerously inaccurate latest figures show that 96 percent of the met police socalled matches were misidentifications and theres Research Showing that many facial recognition algorithms will disproportionately misidentify darker skin tones and when. The cause is a new murs and they vary ranging from poor quality c. C. T. V. Images to the fact that the algorithms are often trained so to speak using faces at a mostly white and male 5th technology and looks like a really nice quick fix to the fact that we have not got as much money to pay for human intelligence operations so it sounds great in theory the problem is if that work very well on people who are not white men which is quite a lot of the population on the planet being arrested wrongfully means that you get put into predictive policing algorithm so the more often youre having contact. With Law Enforcement the more you are at risk of being stopped again even erroneous lee and also people in your network because they build the network out if number just about you proponents of facial recognition in the u. K. Will argue that issues with accuracy can be fixed they arent wrong technology can always be improved on whats a bigger concern is that currently there are no laws governing the use of facial technology in the country whether its the state using it or even private companies i think whats really troubling at the moment is the technology is being rolled out without legislation and empowered regulators this is not technology to have a very good track record of being countable so i can find out who is using it under what circumstances what weve done with the data where that stored whats the track record of cybersecurity on keeping that data protected all of the things we have no idea has just been rolled out when people feel that theyre being observed all the time that has a really Chilling Effect the things like your right to protest your right to go to a Job Interview to hang out with some friends to go to church these are things that perhaps the state doesnt have a right to keep an eye on the met police have defended the trials saying they quote and that members of the public are 3 posters and leaflets but if the trial i was at wouldnt be the word id use there were literally 100
