Timed for the election. One shows Boris Johnson endorsing jeremy corbyn. Endorse my worthy opponent, the right honourablejeremy corbyn to be Prime Minister. And other showsjeremy corbyn backing borisjohnson. Back Boris Johnson to continue as our Prime Minister. Weve been behind the scenes for the whole making of. First up, the team identify the people they want to make into a deep fake and choose a target video. Thats the video youll see in the end result. It is to be longer in duration than the finished product. The source video is. Wouldnt look like this. The background would be the same, the suit would be the same. 0k. The mouth would move differently. We want to have a bit of humour but in a way that isnt offensive. Weve literally spent hours and hours reviewing the videos. Borisjohnson does a lot of videos. He has loads of videos. Whereas corbyn jess tends to do ten minutes. I really like this video. The problem with it is a reflection on his glasses which is difficult to replicate. A lot of other borisjohnson videos ofjust him on his phone, which again arent great for this purpose. So the best option ive found is Boris Johnson does peoples Prime Ministers questions. So this is, i think, maybe my most preferred option. I like the colours in this as well, which works nicely the seriousness of the message. The Team Research the personality traits, language, and the quirks of the person theyre going to be faking. This is borisjohnsons one. Hi, folks. Im here at. So, im here. Hi, folks. Im here at manchester. Fantastic. Passionately. Get brexit done. Getting brexit done. Take back control. Taking back control. Jeremy corbyn, again very similar. For the many. Not the few. Notjust the few. People before privilege. People come before privilege. Disastrous. Then its the actual script. What are they going to say in these videos . He uses hi, folks, in almost every video, so we should definitely start with hi, folks. Hi, folks. At the beginning of the video, it comes across like a Real Campaign video. So both of the candidates endorse each other to become the next Prime Minister before finally revealing themselves to be deep fakes. The actual deep fake videos will be produced by this man, barney francis, also known by his artist name, bill posters. He was behind the Mark Zuckerberg and Kim Kardashian deep fakes that went viral earlier this year. Their data has made me rich beyond my wildest dreams. They were created in response to recent global scandals concerning data, democracy and privacy. We just want to predict your future behaviours. There is a lot of interest in deep fakes at the moment because they kind of give a tangible material form, potentially, to a lot of the deeper mistrusts people have around the ways in which personal data can be used in unexpected ways, both by powerful technologies but also by powerful corporate or political entities as well. I think because they are a multi sensory experience and we are used to trust what we see and hear, it kind of creates this space really where people can engage quite deeply with often quite abstract, difficult to grasp concepts concerning data, privacy, technology and democracy. Since glastonbury, i am funjeremy now. Now the team need to source a voice actor, who is going to play the part of the deep fakes. Its notjust a Computer Generated voice, as you may think. There are a few different kinds of deep fakes. One famous sort is face swapping, where a persons face is digitally grafted onto another persons, like this one. Thats nicholas cages face on everyone, in lord of the rings, the fellowship of the ring. The deep fakes this team are making use video dialogue replacement. And basically it means youre just changing the words being said in an existing video and it uses some clever Artificial Intelligence techniques to match the mouth from the existing video with the new words. At a studio in soho in london, the team record the audio and video of the voice actor speaking the script in high quality. They also film his mouth. Hi, folks. Im here with a very special message. Its almost like you need to get the mouth position with their wide mouth. For him. 0k. Ill be aware of that. Once upon a time, i called for a kinder, gentler politics. That was good but it a little bit monotonous. At future advocacy. Org deep fakes. Great. That was one minute two seconds, so really, really close, up ready for take five. Take five. I think i may be one of the thousands of deep fakes on the internet. Its like hes milder. Im here with a very special message. If you want to ad lib a few ers and oohs in there. Only he, not i, can make britain fake again. Huzzah that was a good one. Yes, really good. Yeah, i think so. I think we did with that, darren. Hi, folks. Im here with a very special message. They then overlay their new audio onto the target video. Im not even sure who i am. And synchronise their new speech with their gestures and expressions that exist in the original video. This is a really critical part of the process, because the more i can sync up darrens speech with the original gestures, the more realistic and believable the content is going to be and the more authentic it will feel as a result. However we, the Political Class here in westminster, have failed. They then get news of an election announcement. The uk is heading for a general election in december, which they were hoping for, to make the video nice and timely. An election is going to happen. How do you feel . This is perfect. Perfect for the campaign but quite nerve racking. The very technical bit of the production using Artificial Intelligence to build the deep fakes is done by a team in israel, called canny ai. Some hours later, the deep fake is ready. Its last minute corrections from the team. Darrens impression of corbyn is excellent. The only issue is that the tone is a bit too low, so we are going to need to raise the pitch. A Prime Minister that works for the many. And then it is ready to release online. The unregulated power of technologies like this risk fuelling this information, eroding trust and compromising democracy. Yes. Yet no new laws are in place to govern. Things have to change. Help us root out deep fakes, at future advocacy. Org deep fakes. At the end of the video, viewers will be directed to our website full of information about deep fakes and their potential to fuel misinformation and undermine trust. Pc Yvonne Fletcher was shot dead 35 years ago while she was policing a protest outside the former Libyan Embassy in london. Bullets were fired from inside the building. Herfriend and colleague former police constablejohn murray held her as she died, and ever since has been trying to find her killer. A civil action has been launched by lawyers acting forjohn murray they have served papers on a former aide to libyan leader colonel gaddafi. It aims to force him to appear in court and reveal who shot the officer. Clairejones has been speaking to john murray, and has tracked down and brought together three other officers who were on duty the day Yvonne Fletcher was killed. On the 17th of april, 1984, pc Yvonne Fletcher was sent to police a protest at the Libyan Embassy in london. Shots were fired from a window of the embassy and yvonne was shot in the back. A short time later, she died from her injuries in Westminster Hospital. Yvonnes death started a tense, diplomatic stand off between libyan and uk officials across different sides of stjamess square. Over the coming days, the police hats that fell during the attack continued to lie on the streets, becoming a symbol of the ongoing tension. John murray was the man stood next to yvonne when she was shot and killed. For the past 35 years, he has been trying to find out the truth. I want the person responsible for what happened that day to face justice. The suspect was arrested two years ago. The cps decided there was insufficient evidence to press criminal charges. John is bringing a Civil Court Case against Saleh Ibrahim mabrouk to try to get him to reveal who shot Yvonne Fletcher. Saleh Ibrahim Mabrouk was one of a number of libyans deported from the embassy after yvonnes murder. He returned to the uk in 2000 when he began studying for a doctorate. He was arrested in 2015, in connection with yvonnes murder. He was told by police in 2017 the case would not proceed. His son, osama Saleh Ibrahim, said at the time his father didnt do anything. I am now suing mr mabrouk in the civil courts. I believe i have got sufficient evidence to take that further. This is my last chance. I have waited 35 years for this. It will happen. This is st jamess square the site where, on 17th april 1984, pc Yvonne Fletcher was shot from the former Libyan Embassy and murdered. This is the first time in 35 years that four of her former colleagues have come back to the scene to remember what happened on that day. We have tracked down and brought together retired metropolitan Police Officers clive maybury, tony long, john murray and mattjohnson. This is yvonnes memorial. You probably never seen it before. 35 years ago was the last time i here, yeah. Its sad. No, it is. Its sad. Such a young girl, you know what i mean. Ive been retired 25 years now. That poor girl didnt live to see 25. The police hats ofjohn, yvonne and other officers remained at the scene for ten days of the siege. Requests for yvonnes hat to be returned for her funeral were refused by the libyans. Clive maybury decided to take matters into his own hands. I was annoyed. I knew the commissioner had asked for the hat and was refused. When a person in uniform dies, they always put the hat on the coffin. They killed her, and wanted to stop her having her hat. Thats taking the mick, isnt it . So that was it. I was going to get it. What i wanted to do was get the heart, pick it up and go. The hat. I got the hat out, grabbed my helmet because it rolled off, put it on. I saluted the libyans and then i legged it straight back over there and then got promptly arrested by the inspector and another pc and dragged off down the road. Very embarrassing. Story of your life. I mean uniform. Im in uniform. They used to call me uncle clive, because i was an older pc. That was a son. Clive was never charged. In fact his actions received National Attention but no one knew his name. We are the first to reveal it. So, despite you actually being arrested when you are retrieving the hat you also managed to get the freedom of the city. Yeah. Be a naughty boy and i get the freedom of the city of london. Thats good, isnt it . South east london boy does good. All of the men had a role to play in the day of yvonnes death. Tony long was a firearms officer, who was sent to the scene after the shooting. The primary objective was to contain it to make sure nobody could escape and to make sure there is nobody on show who could get shot. We were dealing with people who had harmed Police Officers and we wanted to see them arrested. We should have been able to put handcuffs on the person who shot yvonne. We had to watch them leave. Mattjohnson was driving the ambulance escort vehicle that took yvonne to hospital. We received an emergency call over the radio, to say, could we go to regent street, charles ii street, to pick up an ambulance and escort it to the Westminster Hospital on the hurry up . We didnt realise it was a shot police officer. We didnt realise it was Yvonne Fletcher, and that shed died. When the news came on the evening, i realised it was yvonne, which is particularly relevant to me because about six weeks prior to that yvonne had been at my house warming party. When Something Like that happens, particularly when it happens to a close friend when you realise you are not invincible. In an incident, your life can enter, simply by doing the job you have been called on to do. It had a profound effect on me and eventually resulted in me having to part company with the police. The retired officers are about to visit the met Police Museum at new scotland yard. They are going to seejohns original police hat from 1984. Morning, john. Morning. Nice to meet you. Ive heard an awful lot about you. Ive actually got your helmet in here. You havent seen it for a few yeras, i think. Its been a long time. Its very important in the museum, takes pride of place in the section of officers killed in the line of duty, right next to yvonnes. Its been so long since ive seen it. The last time i saw it, i put it down in st james square, next to yvonne, who was dying. To see that, brings it all back again. It brings tears to my eyes. It really does. We have travelled to wiltshire, to yvonnes home town. This is st leonards church, where, 35 years ago, yvonne was laid to rest. Just over there, to the right of the church. Just behind that hedge over there. Such a tragedy. 25 years. Youve not lived, have you . Youve got your life ahead of you. Thats right. 25. I was 29. I was there to look after her. I failed in that respect. You havent failed. I havent been here for many years. But we have come today to pay our respects. The promise i made it to her, ive kept. We have done it. Weve all had our part to play. I think weve done very well to get this far. Well done, mate. Thanks. Well never forget you. You will get justice, ill make sure of that if no one else does. And it will be worth it. Yeah. How have you not ever lost hope . Thats the only thing you can never give up. You know, i said to yvonne id find the killer. I said that in an open coffin before she was buried. Im going to say to her again. You never give up hope. The stained glass window created in yvonnes honour shines across the church, reminding her home town and the country of her sacrifice. John has never lost faith that he will bring yvonnes killer to justice and its that unwavering faith that could, after all this time, finally lay yvonne to rest. This week, we revealed how what we throw away in the west could be poisoning the food chain more than 6500 miles away in indonesia. The Environmental Group ipen, Environmental Group, which works to try and reduce the threat humans face from toxins and chemicals, says in one village east java it found toxins in chicken eggs which were 70 times the level allowed by european safety sta nda rds. Long term exposure to the chemicals is linked to cancer, damage to the immune system and developmental issues. Parts of indonesia are awash with plastic waste. Any Food Packaging . Do you need in uk . Hundreds of thousands of tonnes of plastic were imported last year, and its ending up in remote villages. Some is recycled, but huge mounds are dumped and burned. And weve discovered Dangerous Levels of highly toxic chemicals from burning plastic are making it into the food chain. One of the most shocking results that we have ever had, especially in indonesia, we never have these kinds of results before. This is a small village in the east of java, indonesias biggest island. But over the last few years, things here have started to change. Since 2017 and 18, weve seen an increased flux of plastic entering indonesia. The uk, the us and australia all send waste to indonesia, supposedly to be recycled. Last year, indonesias Plastic Recycling industries imported around 300,000 tonnes of plastic waste. Thats on top of the 900,000 tonnes they got from within the country. The uk sent 18,000 tonnes of plastic to indonesia in the first half of this year, and 55,000 tonnes of paper. That makes it the fourth biggest recipient of british waste in the world. Why is packaging ending up here . The factories nearby import 40 of the paper they recycle but the browsable paper they recycle but the browsable paper are arriving with plastic in them. The bales of paper. The paper factories have no use for the plastic. This woman has been living here for 11 years. She says she and is up to £6a 11 years. She says she and is up to £6 a day from the plastic. Because of the many on offer people here wa nt of the many on offer people here want more of it not less. Amongst the plastic scrap here is metal wiring, amongst the plastic scrap here is metalwiring, originally amongst the plastic scrap here is metal wiring, originally used to hold the imported paper bales together. It can be sold only after the metal has been stripped of its plastic coating. To remove the coating, they burn it. There is an increased number of cases of respiratory diseases, there are lots of places that we see, people burn the plastic piles. But if burning plastic is an issue here, it is far worse in a nearby village. An hour away, it is full of factories making tofu, a feed made from soybeans widely eaten in indonesia. The heat inside the factories is almost unbearable. Soya beans are boiled down to make tofu. What you might not expect is what is being used as fuel for the fire, plastic. Factory owners by the plastic from the village. This woman is part of an International Network of organisations called ipen. Look what ifound. It organisations called ipen. Look what i found. It is organisations called ipen. Look what ifound. It is recycled earthenware. It has ended up here. While burning plastic can lead to respiratory illness, it also releases highly toxic chemicals, called dioxins, which can make it into the food chain. We take samples of eggs from houses around this village, and analyse it in the lab for dioxins and other harmful chemicals. When dioxins enter the food chain, they are stored in animal fats. Testing the eggs is a good way of testing dioxin levels. If people consume it beyond a certain level, it could harm peoples health. We can now reveal that testing earlier this year found the second highest levels of dioxins in eggs ever recorded in asia, 70 times over the safe level set by the food safety authority. The results of our research is one of the most shocking results we have ever had, especially in indonesia. We never had this kind of results before. You wouldnt get ill eating the odd aid but long term dioxin exposure can cause reproduction and developmental problems were damaged immune system and cause cancer. That is according to the world health organization. While the results of the first round of testing were shocking, and the sample size was small. This woman and her team are still waiting on the results of the second round. On the other side of indonesias biggest island, a village on the outskirts of jakarta and in the middle of a fightback against im on to plastic waste. Plastic is still being banned here but things were much worse a few months ago. The fumes have had a shocking impact on People Living in the local neighbourhood. Anys daughter is three. She has had a bad cough, seizures, and trouble breathing. The situation got tents. After discussions between local leaders and plastic traders, that biggest scale open burning plastic stopped. And there is evidence that a change in government policy is having an impact was that they have started stocking containers of Household Waste entering the country. Stopping the contents had been seized by indonesian customs. It remains to be seen whether the government can stop the tide of imported waste and, if they cant prevent people from burning plastic, things will only get worse. That is it.
