In the disputed. Region. He couldnt take us to the front line and in fact they didnt go either not only because its too dangerous but because the Commanding Officer of that particular platoon didnt want us filming that. You are tuning in from across the world this hour welcome to our Team International my names you know neal good to have your company some new revelations have come to light in the hunter biden email scandal potentially implicating his father democratic president ial hopeful joe biden and its across the story for us this hour. Tony who claims to be the former Business Partner of hunter biden the son of u. S. President ial candidate and former Vice President joe biden has come forward confirming some of the contents of the recently leaked emails the fox fools blew a true and accurate than any form of domestic or foreign disinflation any suggestion to the country is full and offensive i am the recipient of the email published but the new priest who showed a copy to one to biden and group will come that email is genuine now mr bob alinsky he says that hunter biden helped him to become the c. E. O. Of Sino Hawk Holdings which is a company that facilitated transactions between the biden family and chinese corporations now its being widely alleged that somehow the position of Vice President by joe biden was used in order to make financial gain for the biden family through this corporation so Tony Bob Alinsky is coming forward to clear his name now he says that in the recently revealed emails that the references to the big guy which hunter biden makes these references to the big guy are indeed a reference to his father Vice President joe biden confirming according to mr bob alinsky that there is indeed some very serious corruption that went on hunt of biden called his done it the big guy might chairman and frequently reference asking him for his sign off for advice on various potential deals that we were discussing ive seen Vice President biden saying he never talked to hunter about his business ive seen firsthand that thats not true because it wasnt just hunters business they said they were put in the biden family name and its legacy on the line the c. E. O. Seems to be challenging the claim from joe biden that he was not involved in his sons business affair that seems to indicate that joe biden was indeed using his position as Vice President to benefit his Family Member financed. Really now at this point weve got joe biden still denying everything claiming this is all part of a Concerted Campaign against him this is the same garbage rudy giuliani. Its the last jeffords campaign to smear me and my family now mr bob alinsky says he will be turning over the information that he has to the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Government Affairs as well as the Senate Committee on finance now what impact this will have on the way joe biden is viewed by the u. S. Public has perhaps standing in the polls and the lead up to the upcoming u. S. President ial election remains to be seen but this is a confirmation or further confirmation emails that were released and widespread allegations about the biden family and corruption well the u. S. Election is just a dozen days away and President Trump will be hoping to cut into joe bidens polling lead to the final debate later this thursday it will have a very different feel to the 1st round with a mute button in use to stop the candidates from interrupting each other the choice of topics will include the demick Climate Change enough security but no Foreign Policy republicans say will deny the chance to attack biden over the business dealings of his son hunter which our correspondent was just speaking about well a controversy has been spiraling since leaked email as reported by the New York Post links to that story were taken in by a facebook on twitter on the u. S. Senate Judiciary Committee the heads of those firms to testify over alleged political bias. Delves into votes in a few other controversies. It is often the case that those who trumpet loudest about being fair and unbiased arent thats all but facebook really seems to mean that they want Fair Elections no meddling at the president that america wants and facebook wants so today i want to share the steps that were taking to protect Election Integrity and make sure that facebook is a force for good in democracy part of what facebook is doing is harming people to police news and one of the things that theyre censoring is about the current scandal so joe biden his son and ukraine which involves alleged meddling abuse of power blatant conflict of interest and a whole lot of money going into the bidens family counts now if you try to share a link to an article about this on twitter or facebook here is what you get the link you are trying to access has been identified by twitter or our partners has been potentially spammy or unseat in accordance with twitters you are poor see how does this happen how does that huge scandal get sent to the bidens have a lot of friends and one of those friends who now happens to work is Election Integrity police that facebook is a certain anima can do im not used to work as joe biden Senior Policy Adviser for europe and eurasia which includes ukraine perseid he when biden jr was raking in a standing sums of money for a Ukrainian Energy company for doing well no one knows what while daddy told ukrainian authorities how to run that country. An American City by Senior Policy Adviser for ukraine at the time also listened to the calls and said release of the transcripts would only strengthen bidens case that he acted properly she helped biden prepare for the conversations and said the old created at a high level if this wasnt enough corruption and cronyism for you adna was also a nonresident senior fellow at the Atlantic Council which dubs itself a nonpartisan thing tag it also provided a slew of stuff for a bomber and his Democrats AdministrationJames Jones Susan rice etc the point is that the same time it was a devising joe biden at the same time his son was reportedly raking in millions of dollars from this Ukrainian Energy company the firm also began making payments to the Atlantic Council 100000. 00 in donations so under adam as what this company was paying both biden jr her bosss son and the Atlantic Council for which she worked and now shes at facebook which previously partnered with the Atlantic Council and are you at all surprised that stories critical of barton are now disappearing while i will intentionally not link to the New York Post i want to be clear that this story is eligible to be fact checked by facebooks 3rd Party Fact Checking partners in the meantime we are reducing its distribution on our platform breaking the news was ad d. Stone a career democrat and as is tradition now a facebook spokesperson you couldnt make this up remember what i said about those who proclaim the neutrality loudest well. Facebook is and always has been an open transparent and nonpartizan platform where people can express themselves freely freely are through approval from facebook senses and factious Election Integrity police and chances are a form of joe biden stuff aside from that yes free well earlier my colleague nick here and discussed the link between social Media Censorship on the american elections with a number of guest. Facebook google and twitter previously vowed to prevent election to ferentz through their platforms to what extent do you think theyve managed to fulfill that promise i dont really know what twitter or facebook could have done what they have instead done is made a horrifying promise that they can regulate truth that is hard enough to do in a world that isnt politics where does information is part of the game they showed a significant bias in going after the hunter biden disclosures and ive read the hunter biden emails may strike me as perfectly valid perfectly plausible so i believe the story and i think that that that twitter and facebook are are deliberately trying to withhold information from the public in a clear effort to swing the election well we know that in contrast to what happened with honor biden story we didnt think about the christopher seal which exploded across the world we get so used to get creams utterly discredited by our own f. B. I. So we really need to be Crystal Clear that whoever is these are pretty sober events and very nice companies heavily say was as is our Mainstream Media the less and less and this is pushing down back aggressively right now in ways that i think we may very well suppress results in the 2020 election in this country do you think many ways to be legal changes to restrict the power of Online Platforms to decide what we can accommodate quite frankly we are moving at a startling pace in terms of all these platforms and we dont have the laws that really apply to them theyve made promises they cant keep and they are trying to please their user base is based soley on the the outrage of the moment the important point is that the censorship is being imposed on facebook and twitter by the government the government is afraid of these platforms. Liberals and democrats are both pushing for increased government regulation and i think its an assault on free speech so i think of the as much free speech as possible and that means there will be bad speech but the only remedy for bad speech is good speech. A volunteer in a leading corona virus vaccine trial has died in brazil the drug is being developed by the swedish firm. Along with Oxford University so far it hasnt been revealed whether they volunteer receive the actual vaccine or a placebo according to brazilian media he was a 28 year old doctor who had been treating covert 1000 patients in an intensive care facility in rio since march he reportedly died from complications jus to the virus its not the 1st setback either for the astra zeneca vaccine back in september tests were temporarily put on hold after a volunteer felt sick with a rare spinal disorder this time however the trial its will continue following careful assessment of the skis and brazil there have been no concerns about safety of the Clinical Trial and the independent review in addition to the brazilian regulator have recommended that the trial should continue and we heard from dr mohamed minear of. The university in the u. K. He thinks astra zeneca needs to be transparent over what happened to the volunteer. If we do look on to the front runners vaccine Oxford University also send it up or should vaccine is the one that have received the Major Concerns and terms of pauses in terms of having safety concerns and now having any will and here. Bit in that phase 3 trial which is the last d a trial i think that is really concerning i dont think them but the real question will come out the da person has been vaccinated or was in the police at booker oak because now i would be determinative for really seeing if the safety is good enough to come to the trial or not but looking really on d today on to the trial continuation because the brazilian government approved to carry on the trial meaning that probably the person has been in the Political Group but a game the question is not about that the transparency in providing all that information public ailie is meant taint a lot because if it doesnt its really hard to interpret what we really is the actual situation on the ground. Azerbaijan and armenia remain locked in their heaviest fighting since the 19th ninetys in spite of 2 cease fires theres ongoing shelling in the disputed nagornokarabakh region and not as were down of currently is. Right now we head into the north to the Northern Front line which is one of the 2 remaining major hotspots in the corner cab out our drivers brother is serving there so hes bringing food and warm clothes as were going our driver keeps glancing to the right theres only a couple kilometers between our car and theres eerie artillery the road is being heavily shelled. The homely smell of freshly baked bread filling the car seems out of place as were approaching the frontline town so this is where we had to get out the city of that kept essentially they couldnt take us to the front line and in fact they didnt go either not only because its too dangerous but because the Commanding Officer of that particular platoon didnt want us filming there so that we dont give out the positions but the city of mark that gets it has no rest this is just one of hundreds of craters left all around the city just this tuesday the Armenian Forces managed to repel a 700 strong attack here now that the command knows how storage the resistance is theyve cranked up the bombardments by an order of magnitude. Live on our driver has to unload his cargo here he knows that there will be no shortage of Good Samaritans willing to pass it on to those in the trenches when theres a break in the fighting of course meanwhile live on and his friends can do more good collecting a new batch of supplies. Our friends from russia sent us what we need or we buy supplies ourselves and bring them to those who need it im accused don of reporting from the Northern Front line in the going to care about. The car about food stretches back more than 3 decades and erupted in late september also by media have twice agreed to pause hostilities but accused each other by leaving those agreements the region is populated mostly by armenians but is legally part a bus or punch on whedons the coup claimed it took control of several villages in the war torn region and its Defense Ministry published this footage as evidence we spoke to some as yuris who fled their homes in the corner almost 30 years ago when the conflict 1st broke out. Im overwhelmed with joy weve been waiting for this for 27 years and all of a sudden you hear the news of liberation when we were forced to leave our village i felt so terrible as i was leaving the grave of my brother behind me i was crying when visiting his grave for the last time is the enemy was approaching. By the time of occupation had been married for a year and a young child left her village with empty hands thanks to the authorities and our soldiers will be back home soon let my internal house with all belongings disappear i just want my land back i need that land. We left our hearts and souls that. Memories are tied to the city for these past 27 years ive been thinking of when we would return i lost almost all my colleagues i worked with we were scattered throughout the country i knew the city is liberated i can hardly believe it the 1st thing ill do is restore my house i have so many dreams and desires for when i am back it is hard to express it in words i told my kids a lot but they need to see the place on their own to fully understand my stories leaving food really was the end of the world for me i was 14 all i remember is bombs being dropped on our heads i am so happy and grateful to our soldiers that i can make my dream come true the years of displacement will be in my memory forever i do not wish that on anybody. The robot revolution and the need for speed and efficiency are going to mean millions of job losses over the next few years according to a new report from the World Economic forum researchers are seeing the pandemic as force companies to rapidly accelerate the adoption of new technology the think tank estimates that 85000000 people could find themselves auto work in the next 5 years due to automation the also protect 97000000 new roles while at warning the rapid changes are likely to worsen inequality the forums managing director says firms will have to adapt to survive. If this continues her too much longer theres going to be a big structural change there some of those companies will not be able to last through to the end of this recession and therefore were looking at more permanent job losses so when you look at the tasks of today in just another 5 years by 2025 those tasks will be equally done by machines if you will also robots and algorithms as people. More than delighted to welcome on to the program the whos who of the tech world downby old ones we go its labor and human rights lawyer done koblick Artificial Intelligence researcher look a long go Technology Bill new with this welcome to you all gentlemen done can we kick off with you the prediction is 85000000 job losses its a number staggering just to get your head around 1st of all if thats true how devastating is it going to be for peoples livelihoods. Its going to be very devastating you know i was a union lawyer for 26 years and ive seen job losses before massive job losses but nothing on this scale. If you know the economy transitions to robots and you have this many people out of work and governments are going to have to provide a basic income for people as some have during the pandemic. And thats going to be have to be done on a permanent basis of course the u. S. Has been terrible only net hasnt agreed to a new stimulus packages everyone knows. But that is going to have to be part of the future if Companies Just side to dispense with human labor which is something i dont want to see of course. But it may be the wave of the future. Joins us as well luke. Is there a Positive Side to this its its said in the article that 97000000 jobs will be created by this rule about revolution theyre talking about the likes of care a big data Green Economy to name a few is not overly optimistic that with a huge number. Well i guess the number is in the optimistic and the previous. Question is a little bit pessimistic in the sense that indeed there would be jobs more jobs created for a poor boats but there would be also dropped more jobs created for the human scene now monitoring in supervising these reports so i dont im not pessimistic to see the futures reporter can go where and im optimistic that there will be still jobs for your months or robots will not replace the human anytime song Technology Analyst bill new is with us as well bell you know this isnt in the in the vast far away future its less than 5 years were talking about this this is what has been talked about its a rapid change who will be the losers who will be the winners from it well its entirely 5 years away and that is what the prediction is at the moment when we use need to use that 5 years really really officially and that the people are going to fall into 3 real groups theres going to be just the same without any massive change theres those that get it those that cant get it with the alp and retraining and those that will never get it and those that get it we just need to keep out of that way and let them go forward and create a lot of wealth and create a lot of the new jobs that are going to be out those that could get other people that could be retrained and we need to focus the skills and the retraining on how best we can require these people to the new reality and for the final group will never get it we need to provide some sort of support but it needs to be accurately target it because we dont need a universal income for the dark population we need to support those people who have been disenfranchised and told a large extent they will be disproportionately skewed towards the older generation many of whom will be not that far off retirement anyway its own could offer early retirement. Some sort of refocusing and so i thought for the rest down another prediction from the report is that half of all work tasks will be handled by machines in the period just 5 years or less is not realistic. Well i think maybe in l. We are having a revolution in technology in Computer Technology in Artificial Intelligence. I wouldnt be surprised if if you had that sort of you know displacement of workers and were already seeing it again in the pandemic were sitting millions of people whove been thrown out of work millions of people thrown into poverty in extreme poverty and if they move forward on these robotic revolution. Those who have lost that work will stay out of work and those who have been thrown into poverty will will stay in poverty i fear and i think we have to be very careful about how we move forward with this and make sure that people are protected and looked at thats the thing is that it tends to be those in in the low paying job who are going to be adversely affected and not just that its going to affect maybe one industry in the telling that the communities rely on so much the or through just to add this all the or things that the report talk about rescaling workers to help them survive in an automated world but surely thats going to take years and isnt going to be possible for everyone if it. Yes well as my previous speaker say. We need to take care of the low class the people who dont have access to education and to training and support them in the best way we can robots can be more precise theyre not theyre not as in the industry for example among proctoring chains but i dont see it thats why im more optimistic i dont see it is a taking away for example the education in teaching or learning that there are asserting this season that robots cannot take and i dont see they will be taking these in the next 5 years and bill lest we forget theres a Global Pandemic going on so many people have been affected in terms of work weve seen government resort to be allies furloughs could you see more of the same here happening on an extended period because of this. Yes but if you happen to different people obviously the really high skilled people at the top of the pyramid again to be sort of to whatever they do that will be a lair at the bottom who do repetitive tossed and they could be replaced but thats not is not an enormous crew who arent necessarily highly paid but do very hands on work that can easily be done by robots i want talking about nurses were talking about care workers were talking about start were talking about weight that those people wont be replaced they may have been hard hit in the hospitality sector but that jobs will retaliate for the long term there will be a middle layer of clerical people who will be replaced much like typing pools were placed in the past and call centers are going to be replaced as well its those jobs and its going to be very focused on the top of rapex to jobs all the clerical jobs the robots are good at done what do you want to see governments doing in response to this data. Well again i think we need to prepare by again making sure. That those who are going to be unemployed do have a basic income that they have health care and you know of course if new jobs are open up by this new technological jobs we need to begin training people for those jobs as one of the commentators said you know youll need people to do maintenance on the robots to create the robots to you know surveil the robots work and people to be trained to do that so i think some preparation is in order and i fear you know predicting the United States that were just not good at planning for the future. And we basically live for today and the companys live for todays profits. So i have some questions as to whether that preparation will take place. From what i believe youre pretty buoyant arent you if youre generally a supporter behind it that could lead to somewhere positive but but this is one step theres going to be further ones after about. There is something i read before just to get your thought of a 2 to open up this a little bit it was quite frankly a terrifying read talking about a basically the rise of the great sheens being making their own decisions in time and not needing Decision Makers the human touch to do that are you at old does it give you pause for thought that this is one step in whats going to be at a seismic change not just the in terms of work but for our planet. Yeah well you mentioned the war of the season and Decision Making indeed Artificial Intelligence as in many sectors or another language processing computer be asian a Machine Learning but one of the limitation of a core instead of darting artificially project is exactly on the reasoning and we are nonce that gould in creating a our town was a reasoning machine that are able to replace your money who are human in Decision Making so the decision the robots can take are very very basic yes they can work in manufacturing chain but yes they can work in. Sector where there is a repetitive task right they will not work in sector where we need their quick splot human cognition like indication health care nor teaching and learning so as i say i dont seem to be a seeings wheel out than anytime soon build a final say to you we have around 30 seconds if you want to just offer up your final thought. It will be those high skilled jobs are retained but that most of what the robots a good idea of fact its all commenting so that may be robots assistance for lawyers or for doctors or other people and overall there will be net value contribution but the question will be how do we tax that net value contribution the moment those in works for him subsidize those out of work it is the robots how do we tax them in order to help by the subsidies and the support for those that have been disenfranchised and i think its interesting terrifying and fascinating all at the same time thanks very much all of you for coming on the program and offering your thoughts labor and human rights lawyer done colic Artificial Intelligence researcher look along gulf on Technology Analyst bill you great to have you thank you scotlands forgotten football hero is the focus of the alex summit show next day it is a tale worth sharing as well it all begins in moment stay with us. Thank. You welcome to the alex salmond show from richmond in london and to the 1st of 2 special programs marking black History Month the concept of black History Month can trace its roots back to 1920 s. In america when it was expanded engaged official recognition and the 1970 s. It has been celebrated in the u. K. Since one
