where it happened is at a parent be a high school billowed there might be also a young people involved and as we all know exactly cue? the victims might be that this is the area where we're located at according to several reports. and specially at people on site at who which we did at instantly after the incident the car that parakeet at you could buy klein and ran into you yeah which is nearby to walk right. ensuring lower manhattan. and authorities in new york generally on high alert. well at ide as you know there is obviously in international at alert at o. carries them and just a few

months ago and there was a similar incident. at dot happening in your times square and. it in and that being parents and that and it was it that you know that that there the situation might that have been that way. that bobo but once again we don't have. enough information at as of now to know whether it's a parent in the. event at all or if it's that important te elections in twenty sixteen. the testimony from facebook twitter and google are part of congressional probes into election interference from moscow. it comes a day after robert mueller investigation into russian meddling picked up steam the u. s. president meanwhile has come out and

called the campaign adviser george papadopoulos. who admitted to lying to the fbi a low level volunteer? now from on the story we can go across our correspondent philip crowther who is in washington philip tech giants are on capitol it hill what if they've been saying. yeah more than anything what where finding out there is the sheer size and the amount of. russian influence on social media before and during the presidential election in twenty sixteen we hearing from facebook from twitter and from google. that representatives given testimony right now and being questioned by senators i think it's probably worth a sticking with facebook for this one because. we have the figures that from the opening testimony from that representative that was leaked to the associated press we have some astounding figures eighty thousand posts all together. by one and group only the group is called the internet research agency that is a. russian based group that basically spreads fake news

articles and. adverts and all sorts of stuff on facebook that is meant to influence people and. divide the country here in the united states which said they very much succeeded in doing so. now eighteen thousand posts might not sound like quite as much but it's when you think about how many people in the united states. had access to those posts may be sold them clicked on them actually read these posts well it's one hundred and twenty six million people in the united states. that's how the electorate in this country and of course this was about influencing the u. s. election as much as possible. now from facebook during this hearing we've already heard this they say they have ten thousand people working on safety and security in that they want to double that by twenty eighteen. that's how serious these companies are taking it in terms of solutions. not much coming out of this hearing so far this is

something that is very very difficult to control. now philip yesterday was a busy day where y you are lots of breakthroughs in the special counsel's investigation came to light. any developments on that front because there was a white house bra press beefing just a short while ago. yeah you can pretty much mel it's looking into something very serious the possible collusion between the trump campaign and the russian government and it is fighting some very serious things that has indicted two people. including the head of the trump campaign back in the day pull manifold and it has somebody who worked with the trump campaign. who has at a plea bargain? within investigators meaning that he george stella but papadopoulos that is will be giving more information to the fbi as this continues there is a very serious breakthroughs and a serious matter. of course said the white house and the us president himself

on twitter this morning trying to take that and his distance. to listen and george papadopoulos a foreign affairs adviser to the trump campaign at with the u. s. president tweeting this he was a young the low level volunteer. named george and a liar now his rights and when he says he was a lie that is precisely why there is that plea bargain and that is precisely why he is giving. all the information he has a to the fbi in other words there is a lot more still to come this could be just the tip of the iceberg it could be a large parts of the iceberg it could be. the beginning of the end but rather it is the end of the beginning most likely in other words they could be further indictments and further. high profile people who will be forced to speak about possible collusion the story that keeps on giving her a thank you very much for the update from washington. here in europe two men have been charged in belgium over the attack on a high speed train from brussels to paris in twenty fifteen. the pair was suspected of helping a

moroccan gunmen who was an islamic state group extremists he shot and seriously wounded a passenger before being. overpowered by three us servicemen on vacation. now major terror attack has been foiled in germany police in the country arrested a nineteen year old syrian man who authorities say planned on killing as many people as possible. investigators aren't sure if a target had been picked authorities say the man ordered chemicals over the internet as well as radios batteries and a cell phone battery. suggesting a remote controlled explosion was being planned. i knew french anti terror law comes into effect tomorrow it was signed on monday by president emmanuel mac clone. the law gives authorities a permanent powers to search homes shut places of worship and restrict the movements of suspected extremists. it's already been criticized by some for encroaching on

civil liliberties. no return concluded deal always missing. we're fighting against islamist terror with determination on a couple but we respect the rule of law. and the supervision of the courts. this security. guaranteeing security. state's primary mission will ya yesterday the state must protect the citizens. ms ensure the territorial security. but this mission must be accomplished in respect of human rights. we need security in order to protect our freedoms pocono need distinctness also been more. close to the equator. emmanuel macron speaking them. now for more on this storory we can bring in high fat camp and attororney at e paris by good evening thank you very much for joining his in a slow graham. now this new anti terror bill is essentially a repackaged state of emergency that's been called something else so it's funds technically. in a state of emergency once again. yes i i fleeing so

even so. mister image on my calls that we've just seen in front of the european court of human rights. those would not say that cease so called anti troll would putting sides a criminal what has been. insides a state of emergency law for two years and so basically the seas. z. slow boots in our kamall no what tease. some some kind of extraordinary pro worlds given to. the police or as the state's. now. under this new lore police will be allowed to carry out spot checks. our rights groups a deciduous going to lead to. inc it will encourage racial profiling don't you agree that. they're right racial profiling can't actually inside he slower you have. some provisions which don't hide don't have anything to do with. so called anti terrorism for example you have a provision which extends so scope of a i. d..

id controlled by the police and the police could for example search site and search people on us for their id's. in many more cases and many more situations and it is a case today so there is a risk exactly of russia providing. behind too slow yet because whose ideas of in a search for not yeah of course. locate now the president says france needs security to protect its freedoms does this. anti terrible protect france's freedoms i don't think so on duh in order for us to answer this question we have to do back at the last two years. on those a state of emergency low and. when we check out how it has been applied. weekend discovers that it has not worked in order to. fight against terrorism and that we must. say that to the state of emergency low for two years as be as being used notably against so called terrorists but also against political opponents for. environmental

activists willing to take part in demonstrations which means that when you give extraordinary poor worse to the state towards the polic. subordinates was always use the cpo worse against people would not have anything to do. ways. deserves the threats we are seeing officially that we want to fight against. now majority of french people actually support. but you know the support in the state of emergency the support this anti terror bill which which essentially comes into effect tomorrow. people are fed up with more tightly terror attack something in europe in france recently been victim to so many terror attacks. do you think people are just waiting to be to forgo some freedoms to keep safe.. i don't think so either i don't hoped so i. how how to say a zoo i don't think the people have? reads. technically since states of these provisions of the low because. zeros losers social discourse from our imminent

michael for example is to say that the slow we give you. a security. but there is no proof there is no evidence so there's no proof day there's no way that. but this new bill will actually keep france a safe country no under a as a french criminal law for example for the last. for two years we have. special forwards we char in the colonial on which can be used. the fight against terrorism montes a cisco moment criminal low is. is all always perfect and we don't need more. forwards which could. impedes basic freedoms of. citizens but it. in your opinion what report could defensive have done just common law would be sufficient how did the keep everyone in check in that case. i think criminally sufficient. and we don't need to do always something new we don't need to give always multiple worse. to was a state on to the police if

you gives all more porous legs he's hung like which groups a. push of police to to to do more on it. a russia providing for examples. it could. impede and could so hurts i means a crewman. . . commences safe you know as a permanent a use we have known and. giving too much for words is a states. hoot. gives the people the idea that they don't have to fight for their basic freedoms and liberties. so i hope the french people would not. for grief these. see liber cheese on it would remind that. to two centuries ago the french people made a revolution. to to have basic rights and freedoms which could. which are. . a impede spicy slow. tough luck infinitely that thank you veryy much your joining us thank you very much this evening goodbye. now in other news catalystt puts to months says it would will be a long road to
