A dozen people. Britains Top Army Official has claimed russia represents the biggest threat since the cold war general nick carter called for more funding to bolster u. K. Capabilities the arch exponent of this is russia i believe it represents the most complex and capable state based threat to our country since the end of the cold war they represent a clear and present danger they are not thousands of miles away they are now on europe store step i believe our ability to preempt all respond to these threats will be eroded if we dont match up to them now we cannot afford to sit back. Well military chiefs are asking for more money for new equipment is hardly groundbreaking is pretty Standard Practice however this time it was the acting head of the army retired general so nick carr said was risking annoying his paid masters with this plea for more funding the purpose of the speech was to warn of the dangers of underinvestment in the u. K. s military especially the dangers of failing to keep up with the Russian Defense spending he spoke of what he called russias orthodox and hybrid warfare and one thing in the speech that was certainly an orthodox was this video clip take a listen no indication of the scale of the issue is clear from a three minute video clip im not going to show you this was run on russian t. V. A couple of years ago you dont need to understand the russian just the sense of the tone of the commentary uses the movie going to be used to just get you the goods leads to the movie so you have him there saying take a listen to this audio recording of a Russian DefenseMinistry Video talking about investment for new weapons but certainly in our news room which may not be a good indicator we are r. T. After all but it caused a few people to scratch their heads wondering what they were playing on whether they were playing into this sort of stereotype of russia being aggressive and of being hell bent on World Domination after all nobody could understand that video clip other than hearing the russian language now nick carter isnt the first person to talk about russia as a threat to in military terms just in december the head of the u. K. s Defense Staff was also rallying for more money when he was talking about the threat of russia cutting vital undersea cables now none of this is really ruffled downing street that is including this speech today a spokesperson for downing street as the prime minister. Office said that the u. K. Defense budget is the highest in europe and the issues are outlined by already being addressed its also worth pointing out that when theyre not asking for more money members of the u. K. Military tend to be somewhat more blunt as a about the whole russia thing last summer the venza secretary Michael Fallon he joked that moscow was probably jealous of the princes new state of the art craft carrier because russias is pretty dilapidated and at the same time today youve got the u. K. Foreign secretary Boris Johnson hes meeting for talks with his u. S. Counterpart Rex Tillerson theyre going to be talking about iran north korea and syria russia isnt on the agenda security analyst patrols told us of the biggest road facing the u. K. Military is under investment not russian aggression. What weve got here is a situation where interestingly today even those sections of the u. K. Media play up the socalled russia threat amongst the headlines months the deeper insight that analysis pieces on this speech from that car today theres some degree of cynicism about what it is that hes actually saying and the reason for that is because of this conflict this below the surface conflict that is going on and particularly acute at this time when a defense Spending Review is underway about to get under way yet another phase of the British State of the British Military in terms of the number of its personnel the number the amount of its equipment inequality that quitman is at a pitifully low level and that is a situation entirely of the u. K. Defense establishment is making because they have instead of opting for equipping soldiers with the best equipment and numbers they have chosen very expensive Capital Projects such as the two aircraft carriers that are now supported will be the pride of the navy despite the fact i wont have aircraft even on them for some years and of course the try to Nuclear Deterrent both of which eats up a vast proportion of the defense budget. French Prison Guards have launched a nationwide strike over Security Fears that story and more still to come to international. Heres what people have been saying about redacted in night its the sixtys full on awesome the only show i go out of my way to gently but it just really packs a punch. Yampa is the john oliver of r t america is doing the same we are apparently better than that see people youve never heard of love redacted tonight the president of the world bank. Because were going to seriously send us an email. Seems wrong well we just dont hold. Me. To shape out to stay active. And engaged because the trail. When so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. And welcome back this is our Team International the u. S. House of representatives has approved a short term funding bill to end a Government Shutdown republicans and democrats have been locked in a standoff over the fate of undocumented immigrants came up and has more. At this point both houses of the u. S. Legislature have approved a bill that would bring the Government Back into functioning the house just recently followed after the senate and they both have passed a bill now the bill would prolonging the Childrens HealthInsurance Program and it would also bring the Government Back into function for at least the next two weeks and allow further negotiations to take place the votes that came down in the house of representatives it was two hundred sixty six two hundred fifty and in the senate it was eighty one to eighteen now as of yet in order for the u. S. Federal government to get back into motion donald trump would need to go ahead and actually sign this law and then at that point after three days of a Government Shutdown the u. S. Federal government would be in motion now at the moment we understand that members of trumps cabinet figures from the trumpet ministration have actually held off and are not going to the dave os Economic Forum because of the shutdown of the government furthermore all we know that the u. S. Statue of liberty an iconic symbol of the United States is functioning but its functioning and being paid for by new york state not by the federal government because of the shutdown now we also want to further illustrate exactly what it means that the u. S. Federal government is being shut down so take a look at what this really means. America knows this is it from shutdown be used to shoot or shut down so lets get that nice little ring to it doesnt it Senate Democrats shut down this government a big fat failure and. At the moment in the lead up to the voting hour we heard in both the house and the u. S. Senate we heard democrats and republicans blaming each other for the shutdown now this Government Shutdown has not been without an International Reaction we actually heard from china an article was published in Chinese State media talking about how essentially there appeared to be kind of a spirit of noncooperation in washington d. C. Now the article that was published in Chinese Media went on to talk about how the Government Shutdown was kind of a slap in the face to donald trump and from there it went on to talk about how you know the trumpet ministration has undone many of the key policies of trumps predecessor barack obama now the article went on to point out that around the world the usa and their political system is upheld as kind of an icon is a system that is just ideal its the best way for countries to operate and this is kind of the view of what they call the developed world of the u. S. Political process but they pointed to the Government Shutdown and the extreme disagreements and the kind of gridlock in washington and in the Chinese Press it was widely argued that this was a sign of political chaos and a chaotic system being in place in washington d. C. Prison officers across france have a blockade of dozens of jails in protest over a lack of security thats after numerous attacks by inmates on staff are to show dubinsky as latest from papers this is a nationwide strike of prisons across france with the union saying that around one hundred thirty affronts is a hundred and eighty eight prisons took place in pretty. This strike now europes largest prison which is just south of paris the protesters there actually blockaded the prison with tires with wooden pallets they burnt them afterwards that something that we have seen at other prisons across france as well quite a normal tactic to block those prisons now this is now the eighth stay of these nationwide blockades and this comes after just over a week ago there was an attack on three security guards at a prison in the north of france by a man whos a convicted terrorist now that sparked off these latest process but since then in the last week or so they have been several other incidents at prisons in france including an incident on sunday in which two guards were assaulted again now the unions and the Prison Guards themselves say that they want more working conditions to be more secure for the dangerous prisoners for those prisoners whove been radicalised to be isolated in the jails. We continue because today there is nothing a few things that have been announced by the chancery in the trade unions the staff of rejected entirely were blocking everything were blocking a prisoner. Who will block all of france in terms of security we want concrete things including materials that allow the prison staff to work in safety well of course Prison Guards and Police Officers are normally on the same side of the fence defending justice but in this occasion there are actually on different sides of the fence different sides of the opinion and what we have seen is conflicts and clashes between the two including tear gas being used at times take a look at some of whats been happening outside the prisons in france was. There or was. Was. Well president michael himself has. A radical reform of prisons across france is due to be unveiled at the end of next month but its going to come a long way away from this process which looks set to continue unions again on monday night cool to see yet another day of blockades frances prisons. Americas National Security agency has the power to identify people by the sound of their voice the n. S. A. Is thought to be using Technology Much more advanced than that of apple or amazon thats according to a report based on documents leaked by the agencys former contractor Edward Snowden volga picks up a story for. Almost all of my boys much of my identity you can tell im female and before i act im american i love. The n. S. A. However could do a lot more easily using my voice to identify who i am what language im speaking my gender and my dialect according to classified documents from the snowden archive the n. S. A. Has been developing technology to identify a speaker using just their voice for years when sigint transcribers work the same target set for a long time they sometimes can identify a certain individual in recorded conversations just by the sound of his voice and by his unique way of speaking this process was traditionally known as voice identification now rapidly improving technology is available that can do the same job mathematically the Technology Works by analyzing your voice is unique features to create an individual voice print and once the n. S. A. Has that a single speaker can be almost instantaneously pinpointed even among massive databases now in two thousand and sixteen alone the n. S. A. Hoarded more than one hundred fifty one million records of american phone calls and that was after their bulk collection abilities were limited by congress so theres no telling how many voice for. They could have at their disposal and theoretically a person could be instantly located and tracked down as long as a microphone is somewhere nearby and as Edward Snowden pointed out theres almost no escaping mike these days i dont think anybody would dog the police. Chase terrorists paedophiles who dont so keep them out just because he says i he that is everybody everything a piece of data by a people being collected and scanned by software thinking that looks deviant and he could stop talking to the people involved in very legitimate things like demonstration of straw eeks even people who vote the wrong way this was the American Government is considered another fear is that speaker recognition could end up discouraging people from speaking out it has the potential to unmask Anonymous Sources or tracking journalists or whistleblowers and according to the intercept this technology isnt only in american hands either it looks like interpol the European Union and china have their own version as well among others so you can run but you definitely cannot hide.
