this is zero. hello i'm citizen this is the new south from london coming up facebook says it's uncovered sophisticated efforts to influence the upcoming u.s. mid-term elections in iran skeptical of the president chums offer of talks with officials saying they don't trust the u.s. . and opposition supporters confident that man has won zimbabwe's presidency despite delays in the release of election results . and on far as small have all the day's sport news as england recall

a controversial spinner to play in their one thousand test match. social media giant facebook says it's discovered a coordinated campaign to influence america's midterm elections using its internet platforms it's removed thirty two pages it believes are fanfic or links to fake organizations aimed at creating divisions before november's vote almost three hundred thousand people follow the suspended pages alan fischer reports from washington d.c. . the phone to facebook mark zuckerberg went to capitol hill in april to admit his company hadn't done enough to stop foreign groups trying to influence the twenty sixteen u.s. presidential election we didn't take a broad enough view of our responsibility and that was a big mistake and it was my mistake and i'm sorry now as part of its continuing

investigation into election interference it discovered it's happening again and so it has suspended thirty two pages of the platform and instagram which it also they are going to be a hair trigger alert for you know for the foreseeable future so any instances that crop up like this they're likely to take to take action and then be public about that action the company uses artificial intelligence and human investigators to flag up automated accounts. you know only deal with the vice of social issues aimed at finding conflict and upset. one page called resistors created an event a counter protest to unite the right rally a white nationalist gathering in washington d.c. in august it was found to be a fake group and the page was disabled and the event deleted it says it can't definitively tie this is spending accounts to russia but suggests it was possibly

involved american intelligence agencies have been warning for months russia's efforts to undermine american democracy are active and are a thread to november's elections just last week secretary of state might prompt told senators the u.s. wouldn't let that happen again i personally make clear to the russians that will be severe consequences for interference in our democratic processes facebook has been heavily criticized for not doing enough to stop outside interference in the twenty six thousand election it's determined that won't happen again and it says it continues to work with the f.b.i. to identify threats and remove them from its platforms and fisher al-jazeera washington. well for more on this peter jukes joins me in the studio he's the c.e.o. of byline media which campaigns for high end media founded and crowdsourcing journalism thanks from fish coming in to al-jazeera first of all coming can we just get some context on this and the sort of size of it thirty two pages to the person saying i'm probably doesn't sound very much but how much of an influence could this have

had on the u.s. and in terms well we've got a member of this they've already had three hundred thousand followers two hundred ninety thousand followers this account and people misunderstand how these influence operations it's called hybrid warfare russia works you don't have to influence the population this is you have to influence opinion formers and politicians classic instances jury one of the ira internet search agency accounts would be exposed by last year had four hundred thousand followers tennessee g.o.p. tend to be of a public group in tennessee were treated by donald trump jr tweeted quoted in the press so you remember the twitter and social media sometimes you try to influence the audience sometimes you're trying to influence politicians and the experts that these can be highly effective strategy is the setting the temperature of things and oversee and in this case you know as the ira did they set up fake activist meetings

a complex where shari'a law party they've created with media gun lights party it's very divisive for a cheap and very effective in the era of open social media i don't is going is it the russians is it the russians but even when we say is it the russians we're not just talking about could it be the kremlin it we're talking about russian troll farms which are all sorts of influences and some people just want lots of clicks click it because they can might money out of it yet so what the internet research agency is it was set up by putin chef this guy brazilian who also created this mercenary company called wagner so they're never nestle direct though we do know thanks to murder investigations that the hacking of the. n.c. was the g.r.u. the military a search agency but they are funded so you have to look at whose interests they are and you know that this is there was money to be made there was money to be made just by having hits but the clear thing is that facebook is making the money they were placing eleven thousand dollars worth of ads on facebook lot more spent by the

way so base book has a duty of diligence to us that they're not creating fake news organizations representing americans are probably not americans and so the people make the money of facebook they made a lot of money out of these campaigns and you know they should be held accountable even if we can't track down who is the all of these fake accounts of course now they're saying well we've exposed along with the f.b.i. that this has been happening i'm guessing trying to push back on the fact that this is not going to be great publicity for the ground and people are going to start losing trust well that's what happened they lost one hundred fifty million on that billion on the stock prize the interesting thing was doing the math for the components you remember that i think they suspended facebook forty million accounts or maybe four million accounts because they realized in the french were insistent no more fake news same in germany there are like most six of all facebook at blois employed by in germany to stop hate speech big perpetrated that so this is somehow

cataloguing behind on that america is like about well partly because their first amendment rights also because they're very open society and you know they have been in a way that openness is open goal is that wound is there susceptibility the thing is you have to free speech means you have to attach the speech to someone you know there's no free speech if it's somebody in moscow but tending to be i've been with seen these bots work one person can press a button and issue in one day twenty four five thousand tweets because they control somebody quick that feels like you got a crowd on the side and it's one person that isn't free speech well the thing again this story is not going away thank you very much. iranian politicians have reacted with skepticism after u.s. president donald trump offered to meet with the iranian president without preconditions iran's foreign minister mohammed javid zarif said on twitter the u.s. only had itself to blame for leaving the negotiating table after its withdrawal

from the nuclear deal john withdrew from the landmark nuclear accord him a saying it was too generous it also vowed to ramp up sanctions the first of which comes into effect next week. for the u.s. secretary of state has already walked back some of chumps comments might compare says he's on board with meeting iran's president but he listed several requirements before it could go ahead president wants to meet with folks to solve problems of the iranians demonstrate a commitment to make fundamental changes in how they treat their own people reduce their malign behavior can agree that it's ha'p'orth while to enter a nuclear agreement that actually prevents proliferation and the president said he's prepared to sit down and have a conversation with them and they must have a has more from to her on iran's reaction to trump's offer. there's been a chorus of reaction from iranian leaders to donald trump's invitation for talks

with iran and all of them are in agreement donald trump is the man who pulled the united states out of the twenty fifty nuclear deal and has proven that he cannot be trusted so any future talks are simply a nonstarter now any time the trumpet ministration has thrown a curve ball like this to iran especially with regards to the nuclear deal president hassan rouhani iran's president has pretty much done the same thing over and over again he's turned to european partners other signatories to the deal and he said to them that it is now your turn to step in and make sure the deal survives we're doing our part and now you must do yours you must resist american economic threats you must exert resist american sanctions you must resist the you know unilateral sanctions against iran and help us to continue to try to realize any sort of economic merits that can still be gained from the nuclear deal and that's what he did today at a meeting with rob macare the british ambassador to teheran from the united kingdom he said that there was

a few points that had to be reiterated that iran has no intention of disrupting any sort of shipping lanes and the oil shipping lanes in the persian gulf as he said he also said that iran has no intention of refraining from the sale and export of its own oil and so that was a very clear message being sent to the european union that it's time for you guys to step in and help us out now rob macare is a former oil executive himself and for his part he said that he is glad to be into iran at such an important time and that he would do whatever he could in his power as ambassador to help iran at this time with very clear signal to iran that the fight is not over that we support the nuclear agreement as long as you stand by it and a clear message to the united states and the trumpet ministration that you do not have a global support for unilateral sanctions against iran and that europe will continue to deal with iran as it sees fit. and they ran and then tire are now also cautious about china. offer. was i don't believe trump saying he wants to negotiate

with iran without any preconditions i don't have any problem with negotiating with world powers but it's quite suspicious maybe if he came to this decision we should do it possible that listen. if they are true to their word that they want to negotiate with us without any preconditions then at least they should stay in the nuclear deal or let us benefit from european trip but the reality is this man is a liar and we cannot trust his word i'm a mom or dad we all believe that trump is the enemy of iran and its people but maybe now trump wants to give the uranium people a chance and god willing this will help us get past our disastrous situation after his racist recent summit with king john president trump declared north korea was no longer a nuclear threat but u.s. satellites have reportedly detected to a new doc to vittie one of the country's main ballistic missile production some nights u.s. intelligence officials told the washington post the country appeared to be building

agreed upon is that the guarantor countries meaning russia turkey any iran will meet in geneva with the early september to talk again about how to form this committee now the big issue overshadowing these talks is the possibility of an offensive in the province that's where a lot of the armed rebels have retreated to and it's also home to three million civilians and now the syrian ambassador do you do u.n. who is heading the delegation here didn't directly tackle the issue but he certainly did underline that his government wants to extend its authority to the entire country was a cutie and when it comes to the sovereignty of the syrian government there is no compromise according to the mutual agreement reached in a stone of a timeframe for deescalation areas was just six months of creation of such an area

in italy but was to test the level of trust we have in turkey however the opposition seemed much more alarmed that actually such an offensive could happen very soon and warned against it. i would like to point out that the agreements reached as part of the a stone of a not being observed by the syrian government recently there has been a threat of an assault on the flip from the syrian army i warn you if this does happen this will put a real obstacle towards a peaceful settlement. movement but not to support the syrian national army in this russia said that the situation in libya was critical they didn't rule out the possibility of another. round of hostilities between the two sides but it seemed to downplay the idea that that was going to happen in the short term but should. we nevertheless hope that the moderate opposition and turkish partners have the

obligation to stabilize this region will manage to resolve the issue but unfortunately i have to say that again the threat that comes from this region is still very high and the third topic is when russia is scheme to put forward the resettlement of refugees russia wants the international community to share the burden western powers are not. on board yet some say it's too soon others say that cannot happen without any serious move on the political front now if there is one could create achievement is that all parties have agreed to meet again before the end of the year. eleven talks. and attack on a government building in afghanistan has killed at least fifteen people and injured fourteen others two gunmen set off explosions and stormed the department office for refugees in the city of jalalabad which has seen many deadly attacks security

of california is particularly bad here because this is a state that's been going through a drought for the last four years so you combine very dry conditions with hot conditions temperatures going to forty forty two degrees celsius and combine that with strong winds and this is the injuries all these fires and outside of california there's dozens of more fires in the western united states as well the really scary part about all of this is the official fire season in summer here in this part of the country has not even begun yet so firefighters are buckling down for what will likely be a historically bad fire season throughout the entire western u.s. eight states in the u.s. are attempting to block the online distribution of three d. gun blueprints which will become available to download on wednesday a judge in seattle is hearing arguments against a settlement between the trump ministration and the texas company called defense

crossing the mexico border in may but some older children were being put in similar places long before the new policy into force the senate judiciary committee is also looking into allegations of sexual and physical abuse going back to at least twenty fourteen this crisis this is ministration has elected to engage in the systematic separation of emigre immigrant children from their parents and without any plan to reunite them even now though we're now months into this crisis we still don't know the official number of children who have been separated from their parents to be clear this isn't a new issue some of the abuse dates back to at least twenty two well and seven several of the most horrific incidents that occurred in twenty fifteen twenty sixteen. now i don't say that to imply that this is all the obama

administration's fault because it isn't but clearly there is a larger systemic issue that needs to be addressed. how did you know castro has more on this now from washington d.c. . u.s. government officials took a beating from a bipartisan panel of senators after having missed the court deadline to reunite all of the twenty seven hundred children who had been taken from their parents at the us mexico border some seven hundred remain in government custody despite the court order the majority of them belong to parents who have already been deported it's hard to imagine isn't it that states of america says really start separating kids forcibly from their parents. we're not going to set up a system of tracking those kids so we can find them or matching them back up with their parents we're just going to separate them twenty seven hundred children were separated in his center only and others have pointed to there are some very basic

ways we could have kept track of the children and the parents in the siege of not only computers but plastic bracelets they didn't do it currently there exists no legal mechanism for reuniting the parents who have been deported with their children who were abandoned forcibly in the u.s. currently the government is working with advocacy groups in latin america to somehow make those reunifications eventually happen senators on the senate judicial committee are also investigating what they call very disturbing claims of abuse coming from children held at various detention centers in the u.s. most recently a federal judge ordered that children held in a supposed to lety in texas be immediately removed except for emergency cases after it was argued in court that they were forcibly given psychotropic drugs that made them and depressed without their parents' consent. poll manifolds lawyer has laid

great again rallies and i can tell you the level of enthusiasm here is that of all we can process day programs around ten o'clock last night and people are lining up come on inside right now i see a sea of red hounds with make america great again going all over them the state it is slowly filling up and i think we'll expect to hear from the president on the issues of how well the economy is doing on his supremes nominations and perhaps fields which on things like immigration he'll probably throw a bob or two of the press pain here as he goes along but there is something of a bigger picture going on here we have the midterms coming up in florida we also have the primaries coming up and all roads to the white house leads through the state of florida this is the most important swing state in the country the president knows that he's backing a couple of key figures here from the sanders he's running for the us to florida governor position a few weeks ago he was so far down in the polls people didn't know his name until

president trump. sort of tweeting about it and also rick scott the current governor is running for the senate if he gets both those men in those positions of power that will really help the president but more involved than not i think the president is here to get his base in among republican voters there's about a ninety percent approval rate to get them and remind them that they must vote in the midterm elections this is a very tight run state he could lose the house if he doesn't win the midterm elections in florida i think that's his underlying message and the word is from the white house the president wants to do far more of these make america great again rallies to get that message out to make sure voters go out and in this state older white voters tend to turn out in greater numbers than anyone else so that's the central message here but ultimately jumps fans have come to see and hear what is really being called a live twitter feed they like when he goes off script they like when he says things that are shocking to the rest of the world and they are diehard fans of the many
