Ah. Good to be with us. Hello, Adrian Finnegan here in though how the headlines on al jazeera fall pro democracy activists have been executed by a man most military and wants believe to be the 1st use of Capital Punishment in decades. The you and the special report to a calls it a depraved act, magenta sentenced dozens of antique who activists to death, since seizing power lost here. Teddy chang is following developments from bangkok. The announcement was made on state media 1st thing this morning at the sentence, them 2 sentences themselves had been handed down early earlier in the year, a co jimmy, the, the prominent pro democracy activist whos already spent 15 years in jail, was sentenced in january, a jawed day at hor, the other prominent l. D politician was sentenced in april. Both had had appeals against the Death Penalty appeals which had been dismissed in the summer. But i think there was an assumption here in miramar. And beyond that, while the death sentence had been handed down, as it has been at various points in the last couple of decades, that it wouldnt that the, the military government and carry through the president of the philippines voted on mac os julia has made his 1st state of the nation address. Hes the son of a former leader footed on marcus, whose government carried out widespread human rights abuses. Marco studios using or did use his speech to promise tax reform that he says will bring more money to the masses. India has sworn in its 15th president , but a high profile event in new delhi reporting more move is the 2nd woman and 1st person from a Tribal Community to hold the ceremonial role. Putting stations of opened across to his ear for a vote on a draft constitution, which opponents criticized as an attempt to return to one man rule. President chi side says his changes have been necessary to reign in a corrupt political elite. People opposed to the proposed changes say that there will boycott. The vote for francis is in canada to apologize for the role the church played in running schools for indigenous children. Hes at the city of edmonton for what hes calling a pilgrimage, penance. Others bad lives more news for here and ill 0 after rebel geeks next on counting the cost once the Economic Impact of europe, extreme weather conditions and are developing nations, getting the funds needed to make the transition to renewable plus aircraft have returned to the skies. But is the demand for new place on the rise . Counting the cost on al jazeera, Digital Technology of his intimacy and easement, and even longer life with the ability to achieve billions of calculations in our pockets. It seems we discovered means i mention in which everything in our lives can be improved and tracked and intended to money. Which is convenience, profit, and surveillance, the only use for the new power. Now new generation geeks are using their skills to challenge the tech john and the name or a different technological future. One where people are not the product the didnt need to we just need to be sure that you know where the, where were going to be working with the blue if it 1st and flows on to this case of the could 1st, the very fragile. Certainly sort of very difficult i am a strong sense of urgency to see a launch. What i most aware of though is my sense of urgency can offer cloud my better judgment. And i can assist with doing something that is just simply a high risk. Gonna break off my, my hand. That is going to break off. Theyre going to break. Were going to go through im julian only dont these days and for quite some time. Of course, myself or a critical engineer, also an artist that a 1st visit, 1st and foremost, a credit engineer. One of the things that i do mind work is to create projects which in gender, a healthy paranoia, a friendship like a like min and gray, which was 2009 wandering around various cities. Dressed as men in gray suits, with suitcases that had done displays on them. Collect thing and harvesting, check sessions and websites, and presenting it on the surface of this briefcase. We chiefs, a lot of paranoia. When you start to show that technology is not necessarily being transparent in itself as to your dealings with it, you see some pretty, pretty interesting moments. Jaws open, worry people gain a friend is running over checking. Many of us had known for a long time and even warned against the risks of having implicit trust in technology. We dont understand most particularly Network Infrastructure use tweak as a plug. It redirects all of the traffic coming from the router, and the owner of that news tweet box can manipulate the news and read on that wireless network. You can manipulate sporting results or electoral results. Or you said like we see the logo. We see the graphics and we think that its come directly from the bbc to our phone. If its in the air, it can be manipulated and you can be manipulated to engineering is perhaps the most transformative language of our time engineering shapes the way that we move communicate and think of critical engineering seeks to look at engineering is something that we need to grapple with on political terms, the deep sweep as a means to read the surveillance infrastructure and ask eyes from the earth to the stratosphere. Recently, there are a large number of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles that are made by Companies Whose clients are governments cleaning information from cellular networks. On mobile communications, these aircraft and the communications are outside of the domain of whats understood to be civilian knowledge or the need to understand whats going on. Because i, we start to learning about drones and do all a lot from the use of trans by the us military contractors in places like i thought i was just part of pakistan in human in somalia. The ones just for surveillance, our dirt to be persistently in the air, and its collecting everything to all the waves. G s, m, signals, photography, infrared. We know that a little, however, about the actual operational surveys, tons and constantly german and other places because theres no way of gathering that information. Mazel, this operations are secret. So the subject here is what would be referred to as the payload of our, of our, of our project at the very 1st version. And it is, it contains with radio frequency equipment, a very small computer, and micro but go to micro control which is a very simple sort of computer. Its designed to go into the stratosphere, carried by a weather balloon. When youre getting up and to 15 and 20 kilometers, does the earth, thats when you would potentially be above a separate truck and the, the satellites that theyre actually communicating to in the one of the hopes of that maybe well catch a little bit of that kind of thing and see evidence of communication going, going up, put ah, ah, at the point of its, its actually take the balloon tests and a parachute to the next it. And it comes all the way back down again. We have a bunch of different antennas for perceiving different kinds of reducing and this one goes from 0 to 30 megahertz. Thats a lot of moraine Naval Military stuff with this antenna will find, for example, mobile phones. And this, these, some tenants are traditionally used to look at satellites or receive site signals from someplace, but were actually pointing downwards to, to see gigahertz receptions or transmissions from whats going on below where the system this guy initially we just need to get it up there and, and then let it do its work and then well be able to make further adjustments and improve at some improve its performance. In the 1st launch in a serious we just doing a full power startup test. We dont want to know what were actually taking out this. When we go out there very soon. Next year ill go outside for a little bit. Im just waiting for a for a gps fix. How to let this one man receive the signal from the dps upload. If it doesnt have a fix, it seems that it doesnt report to the position proper. Julia . Yeah. Nothing it receptive then restart it. I mean, does that restart the the connection with not really a we havent running for a couple of days on one battery and that was great. But now all of the batteries just drained extremely quickly. And we dont know why i think logan. Well, theres no getting after its already were, were really on it in. We just horribly behind but yeah, you get that job. So here is the knife. No. Is there to best reach none last night. I for the day before was quite good. You didnt have any others, right . Lets not put that ready give up until you have truly lost or just bloody it is. Its an hes in a good disease to have them. I think this one there is one large contingency and thats the aerospace authorities. You have Just Launched a balloon with a big shiny ball underneath it, full of computational equipment without a bit of paperwork, a lot of paperwork and everything a to be safe . Well, we will get a new battery tomorrow morning cuz we really dont want him to fail. Half, half the satellite half an almost up to Like Technology will not go away. I would say its a very serious thing. Every time something about how those governors take one extra step towards extending the surveillance upper office. And we have basically have no Movement Really normal amount them go in the other way. Its very important to, to look at drugs that they use for surveys to collect data. Its creating an archive that experiment. And this data is being used to define what is the standard behavior of a normal group or person and as an output, what is the outlier behavior . And that creates a very sophisticated one way, suv and system. And hes operating the gray scale of low. I would say human rights regulations the drawn in itself is just a flying object. Was methodist was kind of to hello being a touch and who is using that inflammation . Me. Ah, ah, mc kutcher is an extra antenna to pretend to be one of the official ones and makes a device communicate with them. So it can be listen to. Its commonly known that mc, conscious of being, must have been used by Law Enforcement in many countries. And we know that because i use sometimes me if you think Police Departments now acquiring Drone Technology from multi big build such that they can be fitted with cameras, then you can be sure that you guys are going to be full of have a lot of rights compromising middle quite clearly, theres a lot of interest in making sure that way the people dont know about it and dont know the extent of it. So how else balloon some hardware. What else . I mean, when asked to have the major problem yesterday with the battery and now we have, well, actually we got another charger and we got a new battery as well. This is 110 grams together and sending 110 grams extra up into the stratosphere. It doesnt make sense, so what were doing is just putting the right kind of connected directly on this box. So we dont have this deadweight it will give us a hopefully a couple of 1000 meters of extra altitude before the bloomberg just based on the decrease with were going to launch this thing into the structures with them. We will not see it for a few hours. Hopefully we will see 2 twins, 2 in to go through them with navigating chaos. Its exciting to explore what is out there. When we get the data back, we wont have to try to figure out what it actually is and where to come from. We have no illusion of being able to read the contents of the communication between the serious High Altitude vehicles and the satellite that they talk to we are interested in and fingerprinting devices providing material for people to be able to guess and ultimately determine what are the skies above them, both out a true to 25. 4 kilometers and and that would have a 100, a 150 minutes to get there. 150 minutes to boost. Were just looking at a, calculating how high it will get into how much helium is required because that indicates the, the drift of the balloon potentially. And it can make a difference between 20 kilometers and 200 kilometers. This is okay for. Yeah. But we will, will london home. Yeah. And we have to be prepared to, to learn some polish, some polish least the basic greetings and i use the fama bottles, farmer, and polish things. Bob is going to be a big word. We cant really wait too long because we have permission for a limited period. Weve already already a losing that commissioner. As we, as we chat, my clinician at the moment is to, is to pick a bit a day where its more pleasant. But at the window can comes down a little bit of it. Maybe its, its this hope so your utility would be to launch now and then, and then jump in the car and go and try and find it to be the driver to pump the sale here. So we can give it a go we can use these as anc as to by the way, with with good it is very similar to certain kinds of squids, the bodies of squids. Yeah. That was either the idealized or him a man worried about the body of the balloon. A lot of stress on the neck of the blue going to hold a ring. The title is no joke. Its like, its so dont, dont you have to really, really, really, really, really, really grab it in 2 hands on the, on the rubber. Obviously quite a cathartic evidence. Important to sort of finish to what to the otherwise being quite a bit of work. But im a little concerned about the way the balloon last, for instance, the meter Auto Community is 3 out of 5 areas. This man, i probably didnt really dont worry about. Can it really lift this way . I mean, its supposed to supposed to be able to. So i have 1233. Just i believe its pretty incredible to done it. Lets say when i was working with a single ever say again. I the 2 hours can turn. Ive house came 3 hours, came 4. 00, and 5. 00, and then we started to become a little bit despondent. Damn, you know, we havent lost track of it. So we went to bed and thought off. All is lost, all is lost. And then sure enough. The next morning without listening and then can we predict locations, colon and grad. Its flying or the claim granted. And eventually, a very uncomfortable silence from it. And then another, as mentioned atlantis and a field nym, and that was over a 1000 kilometers away, which is incredible. Really the balloon went up to just over 10 kilometers and then it probably encounters High Altitude winds and was just pushed 8th at a massive, massive space. We believe that that the deep sleep is the 1st civilian earth, the stratosphere scan. Its routinely done by military, but we believe were the 1st. We got plenty of interesting forms if you like, shapes that indicate traffic and activity. If i just dropped the scroll down, we actually see the waveform representation. So this is the low, low frequencies. This is the mid range and this is the, the high frequencies. And we see as we go from the tech across like this point to point, we see where there was, there was energetic phenomena, the thing that is the peaks and drops and, and rise and fall is much like a mountain range. I suppose the low frequencies are predictably very energetic. Youve obviously got a lot of moraine nautical astronomical in the sense of radio astronomy, youve got a hell of a lot of stuff that is known to be occurring there and it just predictably high. We started to see different things, the higher we got, and we see some very interesting traffic in the, the mid range, 10 kilometers above the earth. And we start seeing activity at 1300. 00 megahertz. And i start seeing this, this, this stuff going on there and whats happening at that altitude at 1300 megahertz. Curious for us. And then in the high, it was, is very interesting sort of last minute lists. My passenger planes are known to be flying at that time and theyre not, theyre not speaking of those frequencies anyway. So what does that maybe to scientific project of some sort maybe it is military or whatever. There are some very distinct manmade shapes that you can only and what does that happen . What is that doing it that our church . I mean, this is curious. We dont know what it is, but its its exciting to know that that we can actually get up there and see us and do that. Earlier we, we caught something. Obviously there, lots of people condense. Its not illegal to study the air above us assist at the mains are not available with will come up with the in our nice of every space. How to do that more to get the data and upload it to the wiki. And then we can start comparing with d, ha ha ha fisher and i of the journey with ah a whole away issue and line of the journey. Ah ah safe going home and then International Anti corruption Excellence Award boat now for your hero. Ah
