and the role and position of has bala within lebanese society and politics. it's often talked about as a state within a stage. but i think lots of people don't really get how completely into words and it's, it's not we see it on the news. we hear about it on the news as a sort of terrorist organization, but it appears to be much more involved with in level. yes, so it's bought out really is the closest you can come to the state within a state. maybe the other example of would be the revolutionary cost. the i just see in here on where you do have his ball, i having a political ring with parliamentarians, they were at some point ministers in the government. they have really put peppered at tablets, rated the liberties economy, including the financial industry. the is paul island. bang stays, bull. i didn't have all that services, but i think hospitals, schools, decatur, primarily for the she, i community, they go out of the civil war in live on,

on where the various melisha from the various ethnic and religious factions inside live and on were at each other's throat and killed each other for many, many years. and really in response to the 1982 incursion, which was the 2nd time of the 1978 that is reading made it live on southern given on is the one that was formed by iran. and that's also explaining why this is such a closely linked group to the wrong. how must the who would fees the bi rainy groups that the raining support are all organized by the populations in this area is what i was really the only part of the proxy forces that iran actually organized by itself, by the revolutionary gods from the get us and they have made sure that they can finance themselves through the involvement in the liberties called economy,

but also is bought in the last 2 years. and this is one of the unintended consequences of our success with avon sanctions has developed into a major direct distribution network globally transporting cocaine from south america to through west africa, into europe, laundering on a very large scale money. not only in europe, but also in the middle east. it is really by all intents and purposes is stage with a criminal enterprise. a political force is social factor for the shy community in living on which is only one side of the ban. these populations are 2 thirds of the liberties population have no benefit from his by having this particular position and i know position, but the political and security system of the state of flipping done is in such a disarray for the last couple of years. that mean it's a sideshow, that's why the government is not negotiating with the living. his government. but i just wanna give a quick update we are hearing from is really media. they report that is really

hiring people and is willing to terry say, the military will operate forcefully throughout the middle east already tonight. that's a hint that they're sending at the intentions of israel to respond to this attack. probably, we might be seeing them operating any wrong, maybe still tonight, otherwise we also know they have invest a bank of, of targets that they are trying to reach you if it's iraq, if it's human, of course lebanon. and so you guys always, but this is what we're hearing through is really channels that these really a military claims to be at giving a very harsh response already tonight. ok, so i will watch out for the act. meanwhile, we have a comment about iran's misfire attack on israel. them whether it may be i meant to distract from problems in iran, or per diem. chris, the g rides in radians of good people. the machine wants to improve its image, hence the drama. iran is a poor country, it comp afford the cost of

a lot of people a suffering it to towards the show, which is what do you think i, i showing this as a just a distraction? well, i think this is something is real, definitely banking on. they feel like is where, you know, israel has been the puppet that, you mean it was him like screwing at the people for a long time, sort of get them galvanizing against the, the goal of fighting israel more than they were really intending to actively engage in a war with israel, there's no doubt that from y'all himself, or we know we just mentioned it earlier, made a statement to the reading and people saying, we know you have good kind hearts, but you'll regime is actually taking you in the wrong leading you in the wrong way up at the same time when we try to understand why they acted today. the radians because tomorrow for example, is the eve of, of russia. now the send new your fast, the jewish new your fast for, for is really is and if they had launch their attack tomorrow, it would have been unbelievably, in morals, you know, blow to israel would have been far, it had had a much bigger impact and may be choosing to do it today,

and i postponing in 24 hours shows us the great pressure, the under any are on a. and we have been seeing this debate going on in iran, in the last week, week about, you know, between the motto, it forces and the more sweet forces who were forcing your on to respond. and, you know, the idea was for yvonne, the whole strategy of power that you know that the revolution and go guards the we're orchestrating was having this ring of fire around israel with prox, is like his viola doing the dirty job for you wrong. and so there was a big a lot of back and forth within the public, or any debate should we be stepping in because we've all, you know, all the see goes refundable all this money to all these proxies to save us the need to be putting ourselves you know, in jeopardy and directly acts against israel, we see that the pressure, i think of the humiliation for israel to not only act inside the heart of they have the know the reading capital but also taking down one of the lawns and went home and aid was the supreme it is most close and lots and astrology. and i think it

pushed yvonne to respond far more than i think in any other circumstance that they would have chose to do. and just tell us briefly how does yak up district expand on this idea of iran be a paper tiger this, this false in the middle east, that everyone is careful not to antagonize too much, but you think there is less, 7 meets the eye. they have been a t is really disruption that ability is not conventional wolf apps. that's why the, the stablish this rocket program, they've been on the one type or another for military sanctions, consistently since 1979. and then the you're on the rock for and sanctions because of the new plateau say so the air force is made for the unprepared. and i'm the a technologist's compared to any other efforts in this region, especially including us or the ghost method on history. i think a lot of people would be surprised to have that ability,

however lies in managing this proxy network. that's the actual, the turns weapon and why they did not react when been israel really forcefully destroyed the terrorist infrastructure, the physical to infrastructure, of how much in the gaza strip or didn't respond when israel beaumont target's office, been a lot of sites in live on the problem, he has now, the management of trust of these proxies. one proxy lose the study to inside to around the other proxy loses they lead to inside their home country. now the who would fees all of us will have to ask that question. what does that actually mean? am i just here to die for you? or is there a point where you actually express force with me you did contends with our lead is getting killed. that was the impossible position. the iranian regime was him. they

were anyway, a victim of the relationship that they built with that proxies and have to respond often. that's all i was kept. i was surprised that they didn't respond, and i mean, it was kept. so this is a problem. we're from the main inside the escalation spiral is how to jot to dial back as well. because now they've entered into this game, which they can not possibly with. because this is not a ground invasion, you never on where a rainy river it was in a god's can with give a less die the tax, the tax i'm is really or us troops. it's going to be strikes and as showcase in april. you mean a defense is not capable to detect or prevent advanced technology from israel to penetrate the space and hit the precise target. ok, just to pick up the pick up and, and i want to connect the spec to garza because a cause also mentioning that and we refer to try to look at these with the strategy . how does all of this work is part of israel's other goal of the work which is to

bring back the 101 hostages, still kept in the gaza strip. and the way you know, i'm sure to night there was a lot of anxious a big people in cars are watching this unfolds because a city war, the leader of hamas. his dream throughout this you know, october 7th, attacking the end, the month following. he wants to see an escalation, he wants to see ron drawn into this conflict. he wants to see more and more forces acting with solidarity against israel. and any escalation will serve hallmark. but what you wrote is what it was trying to do by hitting so strong and astrology, and by pushing back against iran in their attack today would be to show him forget about this. this is not going to happen. we are to my team, we are too strong if you're calling to go in any other courses to come and help the palestinian cause. it's time to give this up and hopefully they will push it in israel. mine's it will push seymour and how much to make more concessions. and finally, maybe get a deal that will also solve the cause

a problem and will bring back at least most of the hostages because stuck up there . and today has been particularly a bloody day and this, this whole conflict with the, the big news of the day was that being culture, then we had this in the last hour or so around, attack them, israel. this is also a day which for people with what killed after gunman. i opened fire in just a, in the, in tel aviv the way, 6, sorry. the updated number is 6. the okay. um, of people killed, people killed people injured into shooting is a tv was showing video of 2 attacks as coming out of a time station. and finally, going to try the police that the shooters had been neutralized and the situation was now under control. so in amongst all of that, this happened today. yes. is there on a stretch the maximum, the military is really stretched to maximum and it's also something that iran is so

slightly counting on because you see it, you could say, well, what was this attack good for is real, administer intercept, 99 percent, maybe a 100 percent of the badge. so what, what is good for? it's exactly part of the union strategies to look at. you know, his bala in a strong i'm self with saying that for a long time, seeing israel is sort of a, as a spiderweb. it's not look strong to find the look elaborate, but it's actually can crumble in a 2nd. and this is what the ring is. they're counting on this war of attrition, just trying again and again and again, and count them on the fact that these really military stretch for over a year on several fronts. and something will eventually penetrate that. what seems to be very efficient defense as you know and shield a protective shield over israel, and then maybe they will gain some, some leverage. i'm not sure anybody can gain anything here, but there's definitely what we're seeing now is both sides drawing to up and you know what we've been, you know, the, the agreement that was sort of unofficial, but very key or set for many decades. and now old cards have been re shuffled and

we're not sure yet how that will end up in the new order again, just because i'm asked if you would that have jack update this, this idea of a is riley over stretch now dealing with that hamas and hezbollah and iran, and who knows what else to i? well, i mean the is really military structure. he's really built onto ideas having a very well equipped military establishment, which is relatively small professional army. because this right is not a big country, logical population, but to have most of the population trained to be called up and reserves. that means a larger scale or longer to a military operation by israel anywhere will mean a decision of how much damage you want to do to these really going to me because most of the soldiers are going to be the managers and the workers and the cooks and

the engineers and the doctors that are missing somewhere else in your economy. they are highly trained. they, especially men, have to do at least a couple of months, the year on training and military operations, even in peacetime to keep that training up. so you calling up those reserves and immediately they are more or less come about ready. but that means if they are now in the know this route and down and all of that as well because they were able to wind down major military operations in gaza. just before they announced the war, aim of northern israel, the 98th brigade, which is now leading. apparently these operations in found operations in his route have to move from gaza toward the northern front, but also pass affect military brigade have been in action and actually otherwise needed in the economy. thank you both so much for sharing your expertise that with us on the zacko positions from the counter extremism project here in berlin.

shawnee was honest. the w's middle east on this pc. precise engaging, interesting as ever. thank you so much. you're watching. i dw, we'll have more on this, and of course, the full bullets at the top of the, the to october set of 2023. how much loans has a terror attack as well? it is the bloody estate and the history of the 2 estates and the beginning of the roll and gaza one year. and they say we examine the backgrounds of the attack. how could it happen? and what expect has the attack had on israel's policy capital? tel aviv focus on one year as well, how much will starts october 5th on

d w w. this is available to them and it hasn't made up in some sense coming out for you. russia is paying influence us to manipulate you. and that's just one way russian stakeholders are working, that fake news into all feats without us even noticing, what do you think should social media platforms have to stop? it's also the pond driven website only fence promises authentic relationships between create us and follow us via direct set about who i follow is really upsetting with. and the top results of your google search might be scans. find out how to protect yourself from mal, the ties these topics, and moving the tech wills and he is what you need to know to shape your worldview restaurants, doing much more than planting fake articles and using click webcast. russia is

operating a sophisticated the state and use operation. that's what recent investigations by the us, justice department and to him and media outlets showed russia as go to create an spread content that pushes the agenda. for example, they boost the reach of the pro, ration politicians, and spread n t crane narrative. here are 3 main tactics. rush us government is using a influence. us take tenant media, a us based company. it hosts videos from popular right wing pro trump, influence of the us justice department says rush, i funded nearly 9000000 euros into this company. so tenant media is allegedly being paid to produce and post propaganda videos. and one instance tenant was reportedly asked to produce video flaming ukraine and to us for a mos shooting and most co, even though the stomach state had already claimed responsibility. the influence of

said they had no idea. russia was finding that paychecks posing as trusted media. russia social design agency based and most co spreads fake news to fake websites. the sides are created under the direction of the russian presidential administration. they imitates trusted news outlets, like the washington post or germany says speak of the us justice department sees 32 of these fake domains. they were publishing fake new stories like reports about ukrainian immigrants committing crimes. for example, the articles with then distributed through fake social media accounts and troll firms. speaking of 12 times, there are thousands of russian social media accounts pretending to be us or you p citizens. they post complaints about local politics or claim that government is wasting money on ukraine, means also use disguise. dis you meant to try and change the narrative. like once about the most kind of shooting, we mentioned earlier,

troll firms which employed click where it goes, amplify these posts by lighting and sharing the fake news, the trolls, trixie algorithms to push the content right into office. a confidential report, 5 digital forensics of troll run 6 shows lots networks flooded social media with this information ahead of the use column and election to most of these posts of pro ration in conclusion, rationalize, trusting, well disguised faith content and pushing it through social media. they are using influence this fake accounts bots and meeks so our social media platforms responsible for stopping it. here's where it gets tricky. algorithms thrive on content. that's fox reactance with a good, a bit controversial pose. keep people engaged and russian propaganda is designed to provoke plus trolls boost that content leading to more engagement. that's why fake news often shows up in our feet. a 2023 you report found, run the line,

social media accounts, which much larger audiences across europe. then before on x. formally twitter. this information contains search, especially after twitter safety sentence, where we can, to protect yourself from any place and be aware that these tactics exist, do not blindly trust influence us and always check if the website you are reading is list it. palm driven website only fence promises authentic relationships between create us and follow us via direct set about who is really sending those messages. i use this being intentionally deceived. falling in love with a pawn stop. a petrik a 42 year old to him and shed his story with riotous news agency in early 20. 22 patrick again chatting with nicky, a hung garron only the fence create to make his bio promised. i respond to every

message personally, patrick opened up to nikki about everything from sexual fantasies to the shad law for caps. overtime he fell in love nicky textbook that she felt the same, but this romance came with a price tex. patrick spent at least $7000.00 heroes in total on what he thought was a real love affair. apart from paying for personal sex videos, patrick also said nickie money for medicine and call repass patrick even gave for a monthly allowance of about $200.00 euro for a while. unfortunately, that wasn't just one. the key. the create a had employed, so called checklist to message fence on her behalf, even though her bios said otherwise. this isn't a rare case. it can happen to use us across the world where only fans is available is only fence supporting a fraudulent system. the only sans has become a huge the profitable business. it has over 200000000 uses 87 percent of them,

a man. they spend billions of us on the platform, but for most creators, it's not easy money. the top 10 percent and 73 percent off, the total income. it's a competitive market in many professionals already. caching it. big agencies support create us taking a share of the income. it's typical monthly subscription to a known defense account cost, about 7 year olds. the real money comes from exclusive content and other services that use us pay for via only funds tipping system to keep subscribers. happy and spending agencies, all they create is higher status to message fence instead of doing it themselves. and because a lot of the conversation is erotic fall pornographic, they need website specialized test quality. and according to avoid us, many checked us with, from the philippines of the low wage countries and europe and pots of the us also have to the philippines has a huge call sent to industry and

a cheap labor force experienced and remote customer service. these workers, men and women that like managed multiple chests at once, often just copying and pasting responses, that even manuals for specific request called j. o. i is that sold for junk off instructions. the scripts help check us, keep clients engaged, they teach check us how to describe sex in the car or how to verbally, please all the clients, but humans had this might not last much longer. some create a agencies already use a i software to 6th with subscribe. this is only $0.80 to blame for that. there are called cases looking into this so far. only fans and its partners deny responsibility their arguments a platform can be blamed for what use us do that might sound reasonable. there's no direct evidence that only fans is involved in the to industry. but they do profit from it. the platform takes 20 percent of every create this income that includes

subscription fees, but also tips. so the tech us in the philippines do increase own defense revenue and only fence might quietly benefit from exploiting literally people. what do you think? so the legal action regulate the systems are, is it just up to use this to be more careful? let us know. have you googled anything lately? looked for information or say a telephone number be with the top results of your google search might be scans. criminals might be out to get your data money. here's how and what you can do about it. now, the timing criminals are creating fake websites and then paying google to show them in the sponsored ads section on top of google search results life. you might think you're looking at microsoft support side, but it's really a fake that's called mel the ties a. it's been around for a while on google and elsewhere. but the number of cases is rising. google dominates over 90 percent of the global search engine market meeting is especially

attractive for scans. they can easily create google ads that target specific types of uses based on location and demographics. once they have load you to a fake websites that are basically 2 way cyber criminal, tried to steal your money. a fishing, the fake microsoft support at is a global scan. you click the link and not directed to a fake support number. the person on the other end of the line listens to your problem to build trust, then they ask for information supposedly to help you. this can be log in special. so credit card details for alleged service costs. the scanners can use this data to drain your bank account or steal your digital identity. ironically, the scan used to be the other way around. scam us with cold call pretending to be from microsoft offering to fix fake computer issues. now, by targeting people who actually have software problems, these criminals have

a much greater chance of success. the same tech to it gets used elsewhere, looking for new sneakers to land on what looks like a legit brand website. cool sous offered at the beats will price, but once you enter your credit card details, you are in trouble injecting malware. another trick you are asked to download software like a software update or not. if you do, you're installing malware instead. melba comes in many phones, but cyber criminals often use it to steal a person's logging, details, and information the scary part scan. so getting hotter to spot side of criminals getting better at creating fake ads and websites. they are using sophisticated digital tools. for example, a i base translation software faced, often so realistic it's easy to full for them. how can you protect yourself? be skeptical to what sponsored ads on google, the 3 top spots off of sale. the result, most relevant for you,

according to google algorithms, is usually in 4th place. if you do click on the sponsored links checks that you are out of the website to make sure it's where you want to go. if you're trying to visit nike dot com, make sure you're not really on night keys dot com. and if you find yourself on a suspicious site, close the window immediately. if an ad leads to a deal, it seems too good to be true. check the official brand websites 1st. if you don't see the same offer there. be careful and always double check phone numbers from ads by searching for them on as an official sides. but anyway, how do criminals get to the top of google search results? google's algorithms rank search results based on various fact us. these include recency, specific keywords to your location, and the technical details of a website. this is called organic search. sponsored ads are excluded from this to appear. in this highlighted section, you must enter the 8 digit. ringback auction advertise us bit on how much they'll

pay per click and google ranks the ad based on its relevance and quality. google charges advertises to between $0.05 and $4.00 euro, so clicked on everett's good, that's use a i tools to detect fraud, spots criminals. so finding ways to bypass them, creating optimized ads and websites that slipped through the cracks since they can target specific groups of victims spending a few years here and that doesn't both of them. should google be held responsible when this sponsor as turn out to be scams? and so they do more to stop these scams or do you think, let us know, stay safe by as the show a ride guides
