1:03 pm
a chance to vote. to make an announcement in a few minutes time on the. point and so what happens as we wait for international observers to pass their verdict if the. day along with the election commission maintain that one all the opposite opposition can say. no they say they won't and they believe the. results which they say show that the nelson has won this election they say the fact that. a lot of parliament to see some rural areas they say doesn't mean that. there is some people are intimidated into voting for design and they say they feel that this election was stolen was going to happen is that. will give another briefing they will.

1:07 pm
that any kind it has to be in the country. to contest an election the fact that the has been away for ten years and still has a pending witness tampering case that the international criminal court could walk against his eligibility member told that he hopes it does not come to that are you surprised that the government in place say that. i think that. those people in the. right people are able to talk about it. was it still unclear if president kabila plans to run for a third tom despite being barred by the constitution so many congolese are anxious to see who the ruling party's nomination will be and whether hopefuls like bemba will be allowed to contest the december election. let's go live to catherine now
1:08 pm
she's joining us from kinshasa a considerable reception there catherine for a very popular man but i take it there's already been confusion about what kind of reception i'm he'll be allowed. back now. i have to say that john kerry is actually leaving the airport he convoy is going to be coming through here so you're going to be very soon the many many of the quickest company to take police as well were accompanying him a lot of security presence here that all morning and i mean it will be supporters who say they never expected to see him this would have any mention of it was a bit of a problem inside the airport. had been happening between them he . was one of the police saying that they want to talk to him directly from here to
1:09 pm
he's. going to address people but then he was saying that there is no way out of the can is he can. easily come. it's still coming and you. learned. a lot in that president. you know not you know rather often people say that election. a lot of people think that he and the political scene. was one man come to the politics here all over the yes was an opposition has been. canceled saying that he right now presents the most formidable challenge to president bill that the bill or he can he can call the night. police want to rally
1:10 pm
behind one hundred acres he had made himself that he is ready to quote that he. will be. a typical one candidate because that's the only way to defeat the ruling class he said he's already cast from the who he actually be allowed to contest the election and do we know if president kabila will contest the election despite being barred from doing so. well now there are some technicalities when it comes to john kerry. or stockton. said that i'm an individual has to be in the country will at least say yeah. ok playing electoral commission has been a way for and yes i'll get told that lawyers are on standby if that happens that comes up then lawyers will go to court and argue that the reason why he's been away
1:11 pm
six of the absence is that he could not avoid another issue while he had a pending case at the international criminal court. case about that that he in that you know that electoral commission really had the grounds to baju from compacting the election but then again he has a right to go to court but the main worry here if he supports say that there will not accept anything to him that he was running for the presidency was about to be like he has kept the country guessing we have come a legal he held he addressed the nation in parliament people expected him to say what he saw what happened and since i and he knew that people were waiting for that because of the. cold that he was a little tension but then again he did not divulge a month he did not say whether he was going. to keep it in the election with and you can find and you can you did see all. he's going and not the kind of didn't
1:12 pm
think he nominated so people are waiting for that right now they the regulation upgrade that was all happening at it from now. people are we waiting to see whether the president could be likely to do that and look human. is why he was nominated for that and that you know where you live it really going to be i mean how you and the whole lot but you could tell you already that catholic had made that even president kabila eat that meat people what they're going to call my theory. a series of process again that the convoy carrying the puppy love very low you making the word that we supported the leave the bet. very many. and a very close watch right now but like i think the very slow movement i don't know what had been sorted out inside parliament it's going to be interesting to be able to make this little bill but that you want to talk to people you have areas. that

1:43 pm
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 on the platform and instagram which it also means 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 face of social issues aimed at finding conflict and upset. one page called resisters 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
1:44 pm
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 under a threat to november's elections at a cyber security summit in new york the homeland security secretary said the country is facing what she called a hard a can of threats let me also again take this opportunity to issue a warning as i have in other forums in speeches to any foreign power that would consider meddling in our networks or in the affairs of our democracy the united states will no longer tolerate or accept your interference you will be exposed and you will pay a high price 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. al-jazeera washington. and afraid of chief technology correspondent at media and she says whoever is behind the fake accounts is trying to create for the division in the u.s. and there's no reason to think it's stopping here you know we've heard a lot of intelligence that there's a sustained credible campaign being targeted at the midterms so i would be surprised if this is the last of it to be honest i think this is what they were able to identify now and i think also just when you look at what was attacked this wasn't pro one candidate or another necessarily this is just sowing the seeds of discontent and to the degree that that's the target that's the way that they're doing it that would require a much broader campaign these pages were generally about counter protests to the right so you have some people in the republican party saying look at the left so clearly russians or whoever is trying to aid the left i think that's
1:46 pm
