7:03 pm
was . the week i was it was. police have been firing rubber bullets to disperse protesting voters this type of ammunition is deployed worldwide and considered to be non-lethal however the use of rubber bullets is associated with cases of blunt trauma to the brain and damaged organs it can lead to permanent disability and even death. despite injuring hundreds of voters madrid insists police acted in a professional and proportionate way as some think the video is emerging suggest otherwise.
7:04 pm
was. hey you can see protesters into rhona in northeastern catalonia facing off against officers demonstrators have their hands up in a sign of nonviolence but police apparently started hitting them with battens we spoke to one man who was injured in these clashes. we showed there will be trying to. to take off from your station would never fold up such a by from the police to. all people he simply unacceptable we were seeing again we saying no by humans was thing we just want to bolt we're seeing we're all friends on the he does with the props it's many people braai told it before i don't know what they feel it's proportional but we know one year it was for nothing i was them sitting in and asking for our freedom but they were not
7:05 pm
making any distinction at all they were hitting every one they were not looking at and it's just another video from catalonia shows police jumping on and violently kicking protestors as one is driving the activists out of a polling station. at another polling place people too came under ferocious attack by the national guard and now i'm on the phone with a single dad with police and dragging the gentleman out of a long row and angrily shuffling around him as you can see in the other people who are also being aggressively and tracked away. as the voting day drew to a close spanish prime minister mariano rajoy spoke to the nation he came out with a rather surprising message medina caution of reports from buffalo. to many people here and the city's a main square who are listening to spain's prime minister's might and of course address his words came as a complete surprise really was saturday hundreds of people injured as but he said
7:06 pm
tact he's with voters the yetzer how do you think the officers should for their work and another surprising thing that was sad by the prime minister is that there was actually no referendum here and catch a line and well perhaps this is just wishful thinking but i talked to people here to listen to their reaction to the prime minister's address i don't know i. don't think so i think. because being out of the movies well i think that is notable for how lasers defy. the violence of the. responsibility of the bullets might taint the safety of the people on the air creating day as in security you're not a low enough to build but it's incredible it's really what this is it is it's in europe this is europe. well this morning people were ready to gather peacefully and there were telling us many times that for them it is very important to remain
7:07 pm
a peaceful gathering just to protect their fundamental human rights but reading throughout the day and the mood in the crowd seems to have changed now we've heard reports of police man as a result of scuffles between the crowds and security services people were building barricades around different polling stations not only here in barcelona but in other parts out back catalogue now we were country sleeping different videos including the ones where you can see several police officers running away from the crowd as people were actually throwing stones at them so police officers had to get into their cars and drive away at the same time there was also quite an emotional video of a police officer crying trying to fight real things you can see how difficult it is for some catchment police officers to really still fulfill their professional duties now that was a very emotional day to go indeed it was a very tough and
7:08 pm
a very difficult day for consul lonny at now the polling stations are closed as the conscience of this vote has begun and people here on the square are waiting for some outcome for the results. the spanish prime minister has said quite a few things on sunday that turned out to be well the different from the reality on the ground here in just a few examples. but if i didn't do that i mean if you think of them. we have been. one of those what posters he would go in to stop. the machine.
7:09 pm
sunday's vote has been especially tough on the local police in catalonia at one point they had to confront the national police that was sent into trying to keep the referendum from taking place this footage shows a counselor an officer who trying to protect the tast as in calm his overzealous national college for his trouble three was pushed by spanish civil guard officers a crowd watching the scene as visit me enraged international and that shouldn't happen at allen's believes the conduct of spanish police is anything but his weapon . actuations up to a policeman of the spanish policeman i think completely scandalous i mean it's it's there was. extreme violence against specific people that only they didn't even fold back they were just torn away torn on the floor this behavior is be really scandalous but if the prime minister is. giving them so much
7:10 pm
respect to these policemen it is because they want to touch him they wanted them to do to act like they did so that's what they will do to show to humiliate people here and show to spend his electors voters that are really very much. in this humiliation of the telling nation. free. of de france now the islamic state says it's behind the knife attack in marseilles main train station on sunday the perpetrator was killed by security services minutes later but not before he slit the throat of one woman and stopped another one to death on t.v. correspondent charlotte depends can reports. well we know that those two women were
7:11 pm
killed following that knife attack in the station at last say the main station so we understand that the man who is wielding that knife actually slit the throat of one of the women and that's how she died and apparently according to passers by he screamed out. god is the greatest while he was carrying out that attack now the security services at the station waybill to respond fairly quickly and shot the man dead at the scene and what the prosecutor's office said in paris is that while the motives are not yet clear what they're doing is that they are treating this as a killing linked to a terrorist organization now the security services have been praised for reacting responding so quickly to this attack with officials on the ground saying they fear that this could have been far worse happy not in those security services are part of some seven thousand troops who are deployed across france and have been for the
7:12 pm
last three years as the country has been under a state of high emergency since january two thousand and fifteen that's when the offices of the satirical newspaper charlie were attacked with twelve people being killed and then the country was put into a state of emergency in november two thousand and fifteen after that deadly night of attacks in paris were around a hundred and thirty people were killed in coordinating the recent attacks now since then frances seen a number of attacks including in nice which is also in the south of france and in two thousand and seventeen a number of smaller attacks now current president emanuel wants to end that state of emergency in france and wants to do so by november of this suggest next month and in fact this week the first draft of his new controversial legislation which will consolidate some of the powers that some of the security
7:13 pm
forces have had and that state of emergency will be consolidated into their jobs as normal will actually be voted on this week. emanuel micron treated his outrage at what he called the barbaric act the president also praised the work of operation center now soldiers from this initiative are credited with killing the attacker sentinel is france's first wide scale military operation in peacetime ten thousand combat troops across the country are involved and have become a common sight to transport hubs and tourist hotspots the operation was launched after the terror attack on the sharlee ebdon magazine offices in early twenty fifteen and was reinforced later that year but the soldiers themselves have often become a target for the attackers from the attack is british former intelligence officer unemotionally believes the operation laus a quicker response but more must be done to prevent assaults in the first place. well i think we're seeing a much faster reaction time from the police and security forces in all countries
7:14 pm
across europe i mean particularly in london as well with the attacks that happened in a few months ago that the reaction times much faster to stop further deaths but of course you can't stop the initial attacks in themselves because these tend to be lone wolfs they tend to already be on the radar of the police or the security services but it seems that they're drowning in information because of the dragnet surveillance infrastructure they know place so the not targeting investigating and stopping potential terroristic type attacks and that is an ongoing problem as it's many times but they don't seem to learn from that and perhaps it's very difficult to try and tackle it as well. canada treating the ramming and stabbing of a fellow officer as a terror related after finding and i still flag in the attack as car the thirty year old driver has been apprehended a man who had followed the remaining of the officer who was a slab several times for survival the driver was then stop managed to flee in
7:15 pm
a truck hit a pedestrian in a high speed police chase and no deaths have been reported military expert kabar on things such attacks are the main way left for terrorists to make headlines after losing ground in the middle east. so true shrinks more of the fighters will escape many of them are western citizens who have been going to fight in iraq in syria for the last six years or they have friends and other people in continental europe or north america which might carry out these attacks and this is to make themselves still relevant and indeed news because obviously on the ground in losing to syria and iraq so they were carrying out more of these attacks to make themselves still in the headlines the international community needs to work with the syrian government and the russians and the iraqi government to tackle terrorism that is the best way because these got a small attacks will keep increasing unless there's more cooperation in the global strategy on how to fight and stop supporting insurgent groups in other people's countries. coming out of the show break we'll have more on the stories that have

authorities by handing over information apparently related to russian meddling in the presidential election in a statement also took a swipe at channel. efforts to. russian. the internet is now trying its hand at hunting down even the slightest sign of moscow lurking in the shadows facebook twitter and now google are all gearing up to testify in congress on pesky russian meddling that. twitter has released a report with the name just made to fill headlines russian interference in two thousand and sixteen u.s. election bots and misinformation now it sounds spooky but the findings are more than a little vague twitter apparently found and shut down a grand total of two hundred one suspicious accounts that broke their spam rules and while russia is mentioned in the report those accounts aren't actually proven to have concrete links to moscow what was clearly laid out however was this channel spending on ads shockingly proving that r.t.
7:22 pm
uses social media and by as advertisements. facebook released similar findings earlier revealing four hundred seventy in authentic accounts then admitted most ads run by those accounts didn't even reference the u.s. presidential election at all so the kremlin is so sneaky that it was able to rig an election without mentioning the actual election pretty impressive facebook also said russia spent one hundred thousand dollars on those ads and other words less than one percent of how much candidates spent campaigning on facebook. while stories of how moscow swayed u.s. voters with a bunch of social media ads continue to dominate the mainstream media the most shocking social network revelation is all but ignored wiki leaks has posted an email conversation in which facebook's chief operating officer seemingly proposes helping hillary clinton's campaign head. i still want hillary rodham clinton to win badly i'm still here to help as i can i'm thrilled at the progress here louise

making. looking forward to working with the first woman president of the united states. google is also accused of having close ties to the clinton camp a leaked memo written by clinton's digital strategist surfaced online. i'm in it he talks about eric schmidt boss of google's parent company and the work that he's done for clinton i have been kept apprised of the work being done by eric schmidt's group and others working directly and indirectly with your team on the whole i am comfortable with where we stand and confident in our roadmap to launch day and beyond but if you're waiting for these special committees and investigations to be set up into whether facebook or google actually help the clinton camp don't hold your breath just in case but i think it's a witch i think that they don't care about what hillary was doing and they want to their very biased against that from pain so far they haven't showed me an ad that was a that was
7:24 pm
a pro trump ad that was paid for by the russian government i just see what's happening in this post-election period as a result of a bunch of sore losers that we're shocked that they didn't win the election but i think that the responsibility for us ought to be is what has our government done has our government been involved after they're in power and unfortunately we're involved too much around the world. and that's the round up of the news this hour we're all of a social media on facebook twitter and of course our web site that salty dot com i'll be back at the top of the al so do stay with us. keep being way it was only about maintaining peace between states as an essentially symbolic value when you have militias when you have criminal groups. this is

7:27 pm
with the military it's a great stepping stone for whatever career you want to do but some veterans are willing to tell enthusiastic children a little more they ask me call of duty is very popular first year video games. it's play and that's because the military like call of duty to turn off call of duty oh yeah or you can turn off or lot of these kids just don't hear. the darker side does the pentagon allow them to be told or does it just need more recruits. economic development is all about numbers really pleased to report this quarter we are modern six point zero. but what do we know about the other figures. when i think about the fact that our c.e.o. mike du made over twenty million dollars last year more than one thousand
