A rescue ship. Plotting our Digital Future of the European Union on veils a new strategy for regulating Artificial Intelligence that uses including the facial recognition we look at the pros and cons plus. The t. V. 16 how much is it part of 190. 00 a place within walking distance its safe i always go there. Why are so many children working as prostitutes in the colombian city of kut they not do that he goes undercover to find out. Time soon is almost gone but its good to have you with us the death toll from the corona virus has now passed 2000 the virus has spread to more than 20 countries around the world on 5. Cements and more than 74000 people have been infected the vast majority of them on Mainland China now outside of china more than 1000 cases have now been confirmed and the biggest cluster of those cases has been aboard the cruise ship the diamond princess it has been in court here at the japanese port of yokohama for 2 weeks now hundreds of passengers who tested negative for the virus are leaving the ship and returning to their home countries. Passengers have tested negative for the corona virus a finally allowed to leave the diamond princess questions are now being asked about how the floating quarantine facility became an incubator for disease. An expert on Infectious Disease control was invited on board to inspect the ships response to the outbreak with completely cerdic and some clues had a fever then went to the Medical Center while wearing it and 95 mask but he didnt have any protection between his room and the medical room he says he was worried about catching the virus while on board the vessel and say stuff it failed to take adequate measures to halt its spread. In site Princess Diana went and with scared i was so scared of getting caught between. Because there was no way to tell where the pharisees no green zone not already on everywhere could have virus and everybody was not careful about it when the ship 1st arrived in yokohama 10 passengers tested positive for the virus 2 weeks later more than 500 have now been infected japan has defended its response. With the urgency of the Current Situation japan has taken full measures to ensure prevention of the spread of infection taking into consideration human rights and humanitarian needs cooperate. In with the relevant nations and taking appropriate measures with new players to come they did. Someone board have described it as a floating prison one british couple shared their experience via social media. Were doing ok we conditioning is still getting us down weve turned off the humidifier only leaving the door open but weve closed that night so damn cold outside. Shortly after they announced they tested positive to corona virus and would be moved to a hospital shortly. Thousands still remain on the diamond princess for those evacuated the journeys far from. Base to face up to 2 weeks quarantine in their harm countries. And for more on the story we can speak to simon dan your he is the Washington Post bureau chief in tokyo hi simon thank you for joining us here in de w. We saw there that this ship is being called offloading prison the floating petri dish what is behind the Health Officials decision here to keep people on board despite the risks. Well you know japan at the time the decision was was taken japan didnt have many cases of the virus it wants its to keep the people who had the virus off the japanese mainland and it felt that coren seeing was the right strategy as it turned out they havent done it well i think the u. S. U. S. Officials are now openly saying the korean team failed and actually as we look and as we know more about the way the quarantine was applied were beginning to find out that actually it really wasnt done in a medically sound way and that the conditions on board the ship were not were not suitable to to to keep this many people on board the ship and in particular the japanese doctor who went on board yesterday has released absolutely damning video of the conditions on board the ship which he says are chaotic and scary and he is not surprised that very many people have fallen sick yes i mean we have been hearing many reports of utter chaos on board and there are still hundreds of people on the spell out what is happening to them. Well that theyre being released as as you said the people who the foreigners are being taken back to places like the United States and canada being given another 14 days koren see because those governments dont believe that a quarantine on board a ship works the japanese patients who test negative for the virus are being allowed to leave their being and theyre being allowed to board public transport the stop the new and go home so japan doesnt really want to admit that quarantine failed even when other governments basically have health have made that decision the quarantine was not effective and people were still being affected on infected on board the ship it was a difficult decision for japan because they didnt have the cities for 3600 people on day one but as time went by it became increasingly clear as the number of people rose to the core im seeing wasnt the right strategy and i think many people felt japan was very slow to react to the changing reality it is a little bit a case where i think the politics of the situation took precedence over the signs and simon just quickly how is this all of this going down in japan what do people there make of how the government is that what this well that that doctors video last time i checked is already being seen 750000 times yesterday opinion polls came out showing Prime Minister our base popularity falling quite significantly by 5 Percentage Points and more and more people questioning his handling of the crisis so yes there is a real political cost for the government in wanting to avoid bad news ahead of the olympics but now it has got bad news and Big Questions about its handling and it has to deal with them all right simon dan youre the Washington Post hero chief in tokyo thank you so much for speaking to us. To the mediterranean now and the migration crisis the rescue vessel ocean vikings for trolling just off the coast of libya and has been carrying out its 3rd rescue mission in 24 hours thousands of people are still trying to reach europe by making the dangerous crossing of the mediterranean and small overcrowded boats did as may drag storage was on the ocean viking one more than 80 migrants were spotted a just off the libyan coast heres this report. From the deck of the rescue ship ocean flaking Nicholas Romaniuk is scanning the sea for a boat with migrants on board. The ocean viking is about 130 kilometers off the libyan coast that means its in international waters. We have a look for a possible water boat with knives or pipes or war. Already if you have a visual Border Control pilots are in radio contact proper are so vital to Border Patrol is searching the area with small aircraft to helicopters they say they think the spotted the migrants boat were going to people on top of the 3 or. 4. I would. Watch your. Leader. The migrants boat is now clearly visible. All about 40 or 33. Rescue doing these are ready to be deployed told me he is one of the most experienced stuff when it comes to sea rescue receiving he tells his colleagues what he knows about the refugees so far. From the mission begins. About. Can you put your legit good things that look at the border. To rescue doing is settle for the migrants go along with the should consume portions not to russia. This part of the operation to take time to assess the situation. That he wouldnt migrant boat is overloaded with 84 passengers all young men. We go into that they might stand up and become agitated and tip over the boat is a big concern. Thats why the 1st thing theyre getting on life 1st. Of. All the way it will take 3 trips back and forth to get all the migrants on board the ocean. Most of them are from bangladesh morocco and somalia with a few from algeria and the gambia 21 are under 18 years old they came along without parents or relatives. And. What are you know that. The migrants are also addressed in arabic and other languages every Single Person will be examined by the doctor. With a dangerously ive brought it up with the like you know where there is common to what it was let other lets look at the a lot of business if you start really maybe about that that they thought but its not that some of them found that quite difficult and my mom said about how many times in biking but otherwise id like to find the message thats. So weak but now saying happy to be alive. For more on the story we can speak to Michael Farkas in tripoli he is head of mission of Doctors Without Borders responsible for the ocean if i can michael thank you for joining us here on do w. At the moment it is still unclear whether the ocean biking can dock can you tell us what conditions are like on board at the moment for your team thats working there. Well this iteration onboard after a rescue is always a bit busy so we try to settle everybody in make sure that their Immediate Health needs are met and then we provide them with water food etc and then we try to explain them a little bit of the process on the steps that might come next for them. At this moment in time were actually engaged in another rescue so as we speak the ocean breaking is in its 3rd rescue in the last 24 hours so what we do during that period is we do try to keep the people that weve already rescued on board call and stable well we bring the next set of survivors on board michael the reality is thousands of people are trying to cross the mediterranean in overcrowded boats as weve seen how many people are you on able to reach or you are unable to reach out to. Well so is it all depends on whose numbers you trust so at this point in time more people are interested and returned to libya and then make the journey successfully that certainly was the experience in 2019 i mean im here in tripoli now just in the last 24 hours about 400 people have been intercepted by the libyan coast guard and returned into the detention facilities here in libya so. The numbers are boat a 5050 chance whether or not you make a rescue or a successful journey or whether you are intercepted and brought back or whether unfortunately there is a shipwreck mike i want to ask you about something we saw the European Union announced this week which is that it will deploy naval assets to monitor the arms embargo in libya where you are right now because there is fighting between rival forces there but theyre not sending those assets to save lives because they dont want to create a pull factor as theyve put it what do you think of that. So there have been number of recent studies that have looked at this question of whether or not theres a pull factor on the recent surveys of the new kid that there is no correlation at least between the n. G. O. S will be in the area and the number of departures and i think that the discussion misses the point that what we should be talking about is the push factor what is driving people to make this decision in the 1st place to choose because dangerous journey as theyre their best choice of bad options both the conditions in libya and the conditions in their their countries of origin so as long as the conditions in libya and the conditions of the country or a country of origin are what they are people are going to choose to make this journey we gardeners of whether or not there are either label ships from the e. U. States or n. G. O. S boats in the region lets talk about the conditions in libya michael there around 2000 people migrants in camps at the moment its believed hundreds of thousands of migrants are living in libya what are the conditions that theyre facing there. So the conditions in libya obviously are very difficult for everybody including the libyans themselves the conflict has intensified in the last couple of months and that trend looks like its such a continuing. Within libya which was always a. Tension and an exploitation of trafficking the conditions are very very difficult for the conditions in the Detention Centers are overcrowded and resources to sort of support people there are are scarce so Food Sanitation eyed you know all these things are quite difficult and then people face a great deal of uncertainty theyre concerned about the conflict the conflict is quite proximate to a number of the detention facilities so people are concerned about being caught in the crossfire or being somehow otherwise negatively impacted by the conflict all right Michael Starke a head of mission of Doctors Without Borders responsible for in the ocean biking vessel thank you so much for joining us here and. Thank you. Lets check in now on some other stories making news around the world a prominent turkish activist has been rearrested just hours after a Court Ordered his release last month of allah and 8 other defendants were acquitted in a landmark trial which centered on their involvement in widespread antigovernment protests in 2013 has been detained on new accusations meanwhile the turkish president but have to have air to want to strengthen to launch a military operation in syrias it live region they dont want says an operation is only a matter of time on lost Syrian Forces pulled back behind Turkish Military positions russia has warned turkey not to attack Syrian Forces. Now you and supported government in libya has suspended its participation in talks in geneva and that salvaging a fragile cease fire the announcement came after forces of the rebel commander have stepped up attacks on the libyan capital tripoli hitting its strategic port rebel groups that now control most of the country. To colombia where many in the popular tourist city of kut the han are concerned about the growing number of children forced into prostitution the problem has intensified discuss the henna sunny beaches attract more International Travelers but a group of local residents is pushing back to break up under age prostitution rings. They sent us this report from the hannah. During the day. With its vivid colors and vibrant caribbean charm a picture perfect holiday destination for tourists from all over the world but when the sun goes down things change. As night falls sex workers flood the squares popular with foreigners many of them far too young to be doing this as a d. W. I. Undercover reporter finds out after just a couple of minutes on the central. How old are you 16 how much is it time 100 i know a place within walking distance its safe i always go there the citys booming Tourism Sector has helped many families secure their livelihood but the wish to escape poverty has created a blind spot when it comes to protecting the most vulnerable. Fernando who wishes to remain anonymous was 13 when strangers 1st offered him money for sex. When i saw the money i obviously gave him i didnt anticipate the harm it would do to me. But once you enter this vicious cycle which it undoubtably is you cant escape on your own you need tools and people who can get you back on the right track. In colombia prostitution is illegal before the age of 18 the fight against Sexual Exploitation of children is regulated by law but legislation wasnt able to protect fernando and thousands of others from becoming victims. To shield young people from those who want to take advantage of them a local foundation has launched a campaign. I am the wall. So you know its a Defense Strategy for our boys and girls in the Tourism Sector environments there are protocols and codes of conduct we have Service Providers especially hotels to implement in coordination with the authorities and thats the reaction part of the wall also doesnt put in prevention work and it tends miners whose rights have already been violated and. Since its launch hundreds of hotels taxi drivers and Street Vendors have joined the Initiative One of them is victor he runs a beach tender rental and feels like much more than just another brick in the wall. Who knew about this problem. If you see something we make sure to tell people hey listen what youre doing is wrong we need to protect our children and we cant put them in the hands of criminals when i do this from my heart nobody is forcing me this is community and when i want for my community i fight with my heart my hands my feet my teeth that was all i have. But not everybody is as dedicated as make. Our undercover reporter was offered sex with a minor just metres away from 2 patrolling policeman proving once again that it takes a village to protect a vulnerable child but only one person to let it fall through the cracks. The European Union has unveiled its strategy for regulating the use and development of controversial Artificial Intelligence technology also known as ai and its a 27 Member States the president of the European Commission was the last underline called for strict oversight of this sector of the strategy aims to make the e. U. The world leader in quote trustworthy that is fair and transparent and democratic it also calls for more debate about whether to use that technology for facial recognition proponents say it would increase security while critics argue it is too intrusive. And have you scared much as has been following that debate for us in brussels he joins us hi gary so what exactly does the e. U. Want to see here when it comes to Artificial Intelligence. Shaping europes future is the title of this white paper that the head of the European Commission today presented together with a number of commissioners so a real effort here and i think we should take that literally shaping the future of the e. U. Really wants to unlock the potential the huge economic potential that is in Artificial Intelligence in the digital a market sector but they want to do that at the same time providing security for citizens that they feel that their data is in safe hands so what the e. U. Will want to do in the months and years to come is provide common guidelines on how europe can make the most of this digital sector ok safety and security what is the e. U. So worried about here when it comes to Artificial Intelligence. The commission has identified 2 sectors a low risk and a high risk sector and in this high risk sector is particularly health but also transport and security and to give you an example from the sector of security there is for instance a facial Recognition Technology that at the moment only half of europes police of the e. U. Member States Police forces are using the potential how ever its huge because with life surveillance criminals that is at least what Police Forces say could be tracked a lot more easily so there is big potential here that but then the Commission Says theres also big risk obviously regarding Data Protection and so that is an area where they want to be careful another field is basically how data stored data are the key to for for future businesses theres a huge potential in data but at the moment there are mainly those states on the internet on the Digital Markets rest with American Companies so there is this loose idea i would say of the european clout where this state could be stored but be stored in a safe environment so theres a number of ideas that are out there like this a number of ideas carried that are very ambitious were talking about Technological Progress at the same time protecting these rights youre saying so what will the next step. Or is it a phenomenon the head of the European Commission promised that in the 1st 100 days she would provide legislation regarding Digital Marketing Artificial Intelligence now i calculate in that there is roughly a to let another 20 days left so that will be tight to hit this mark what i heard today is it within the next 18 months rough guidelines can be expected and i think that is closer to the truth the c. E. O. Of facebook was recently in town mark sec of bark and presented some self regulating proposals what the industry could do and what he was told is that the Member States and that the e. U. Commission will set the rules on how this industry will be run in the future so there is quite some determination here in brussels to work this out it is charismatics reporting for us thank you very much.
