accusations that russia has deployed an army of bots or troll farms or something to try and influence the usa through social media these allegations have surfaced all throughout u.s. media but it appears that there is an apparent call for software to be created by the u.s. military to do exactly that targeting specifically social media activity in those three languages now at this point the questions are being raised about that and it is interesting we have reached out to the pentagon about this and asked for clarification about what this potential software would be used for and what kind of operations it would be included in and as of yet we have not gotten a response. away from american bring us up to date live to pity we are going to use a chief of elegy officer c c cybersex thanks for joining us good to have you on the program today. but of an unusual bit of news this is that i mean why would the u.s.

army need such software for social media. well such kind of software could be used for social media morning doing first of all bots not only in this specific project time to be the mushroom lee and he said that he's able to get. the sentimental specific audience i have no doubt it is a software that could be used. grecians what's the main concerns from such but machines i mean we've got a lot about you know bots trolls fake accounts fake news all this sort of stuff over the last year or so is there any risks here. the risk is concrete to such kind of software could be used for books as being bought up all sorts of the sentimental specific topics this means that this software this sense a serious three. for any kind of governments. is it is interesting here because the u.s. has accused russia lot of using bots and troll factories to influence u.s. elections u.s.

public opinion etc all over the world not just in the us in fact now they're developing a program which on the surface of things bears some similarities at least to this what's your take on that. well first of all you have to consider that such kind of software is essential for any army any common it is the more ready. for example such and also stories are very important the poor sucker mean he saw social media intelligence and these means that could be used either also against the terrorism or crossing the t's and we can imaging also that such kind of softer could be used for propaganda or to influence or the sentimental are the counties basically they can use this software as the same we see russian are using it. just in terms of you know using it against other countries or even organizations as you say i mean is this a step away from battlefield conflict to online to conflict you know on the

internet cyber warfare or is this another stage within cyber warfare. yes you are correct that you have to consider that inside a species the fifth no mean or work of the world for so basically almost every government is improving it's a cybercrime ability and also social media represents serious marketing for more than the conflicts pier luigi paganini chief technology officer. thanks for joining us giving us your take on that story today on r.t. . and video has surfaced online allegedly showing a u.s. service member taking a shot out of passing truck in afghanistan the incident was seen among a number of clips edited together which were uploaded and later deleted by an anonymous user with his helmet camera footage shows a person firing from a military vehicle at the cab of a truck but it was passing it's not known whether anybody was injured if confirmed though the action might violate military rules of engagement by the u.s.

afghan alliance or the video is believed to have been filmed last year during an anti ice liberation in eastern afghan province according to the u.s. central command an investigation into the case is underway requested further comment will bring you any updates we do get sued a retired three star general in the pakistani army thinks such incidents can play right into the taliban's hands most likely there did think that you know the life of the afghans is not important then we can just did no chances and then shoot them and that is where it's so unfortunate so many lives in the past as well have been lost as a consequence of this head to the most important thing is that they should realise there that this war cannot be purely one on the basis of military strength of death was because the last sixteen years america would have already won to gain more support from among to stay tuned going to

a short break and we'll have more latest updates for you just in a couple of minutes. this is an amazing story because that we're seeing a real geo political impact of that going on a g. twenty country g seven countries japan actually the spending power of the culture the rise of big going in the millions of people who are buying it in japan multi billion dollars that they have appreciated in value is causing a genuine the fact that in their economy and this is going to be the year twenty eight point the currencies have this geo political influence.

welcome back to the program there's allegedly a rift between two of the biggest organizations in the world of sports the international olympic committee and the world anti-doping agency the leaked e-mails suggest american officials were seeking waters independence from olympic chiefs so they could you know that really apply sanctions. could discuss the matter in detail with my colleague. while these e-mails leaks by the fancy bears hacking group allegedly from officials in the i.o.c. seem to show incredibly high tensions between international olympic committee officials and why and by extension mclaren has reported on alleged doping across

russian sport started all this back in two thousand and sixteen of course so where is the bond blood coming from between these two organizer. well according to the emails it looks like wada is pushing back against the i.o.c. reportedly was one point was actually making attempts to withdraw from i.o.c. jurisdiction mean they could both test and punish athletes that they found to be guilty of any sort of doping violations and apparently the i.o.c. was strongly against the idea of water become becoming jury judge and executioner on that front and an email about a meeting where such a move was discussed detailed mistrust and tension aimed at i.o.c. members now we see that according to one of the leaked emails i.o.c. officials even accused mcclaren of lying about the level of communication between the two organizations as well is that correct yes there's another email from the i.o.c. is director general to richard mclaren reportedly showing that the i.o.c. has been baffled by statements that mclaren was making to the press saying that the i.o.c. leadership had never gotten in touch with him and according to the i.o.c.

that's one hundred percent false they claim to have reached out to a number of times offering assistance and further cooperation with him and if that is true that those statements to the press were completely false the question becomes why would mclaren be making statements such as that if they're not true what was the motivation behind such a lie and we talked about the i.o.c. was talking about what they were talking about mclaren i'm going to assume russia comes into this somewhere yes that's one of the really interesting bits according to an e-mail allegedly written by i.o.c. officials in response to mclaren's reports they believe that those reports had a very very specific aim let's take a listen to an excerpt. a further problem was created by your report seemingly being used to try and justify a total ban of the complete russian olympic team from the rio games in the chuang games when in fact the international olympic committee and the international sports federations were simply not of the view that a collective punishment should be or should have been imposed upon all russian athletes so there we have the i.o.c.

concluding that the mclaren reports goal was to achieve a blanket ban against the russian team and that the e-mail goes on to say that that was something specifically that the i.o.c. was against that they wanted to be able to go after individual athletes found to have been using doping but want to force them into a corner and put them on the path of getting the blanket bans and then also further lamented the lack of cooperation between the tour going to say sions and it really shows a pair of potentially disturbing divide between those two huge anti-doping organizations such a complicated story isn't it but luckily we have an expert in the studio with us as alan moore sports radio host at moscow's capital f.m. thanks for coming in i mean one shed some more light on this convoluted story does this suggest that there's something of a rift between want and the i.o.c. to be appointed to do it is kind of like a devoid in the doping world we call the anti doping business because it is big business and huge money you know you have water which overseas are supposed to go overseas or anti doping efforts in sports in the world and on the other side then

you've got this new kind of breakaway group call i nardo who which is led by the nose by usada which the u.s. want to doping water will be able to take over i.o.c. actors within and the u.s. olympic committee they were going to take over water through the backdoor takeover and one of the emails that i was discussing earlier the i.o.c. official allegedly cast doubt on the clearance intentions saying his reports were meant to achieve a total blanket ban on russia why would he be interested in something like that do you think i don't think he hadn't even bought into. of trying to take over like you know to to to rubbish russia but a lot of what he said including saying that like those states sponsored with one state through and state into it russia was immediately guilty and he used that i do not wish he said oh well you know it's just like which but language as we know is very very powerful and that's what the use of destroyed and it prevented by a blanket ban which the o.c. themselves didn't want setback to fight against doping by five ten years because

now everyone can get away with it and you say oh well the russians are worse. other headlines are archi security services are forcing refugees to leave camps and return to their homes the spot them being an unsafe areas that's according to a new report by the un refugee agency and it says more than thirteen thousand families have been forced back to dangerous sones those who return face the whole host of problems from tribal conflicts to booby traps left by fleeing islamic state fighters the report also says at least fourteen people have been killed as a result of these forced returns we spoke to refugees in a camp about their fears of going back home. we moved to this camp three years ago we don't want to return to our home yet we

are afraid of tribes our houses are destroyed we have no place to live the fields with it houses a looted in the wise a torn out of the bulls and there's lots of booby traps five days ago our neighbors there started a fire to warm some water something went off and now they kids are in hospital is so scary. the idea there are very few people from a villa. returned home is nothing left newman the truth why doesn't work we may return in the future when the area season from living. the level of destruction in most of the areas which we're which we're under isis control and following the ability to operations have witnessed heavy destruction homes demolished

areas where the basic services are not functional water electricity or scars or at least with the with the very basic supply of very major risk is the unexploded ordinance is the improvised explosive devices that could have been put by isis or any other or any other group involved in the in the in the fighting but the other key danger is the fear of people being attacked by. sleeping isis others all by people who are affiliated with isis. there are keep prime minister has denied refugees are being forced to return to unsafe areas he says it's misinformation spread by his political rivals. well for myself let's see what auti. come back to be a musket time for the latest updates on world headlines. show

seemed wrong all right old roles just don't call. me the all that is yet to shape out of this thing becomes agitated and in gains from an equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart when she's to look for common ground. the two thousand and eight economic crisis turns some countries into pigs these are the countries with weaker economies that needed austerity policies if you are in a situation of flow bloat even the recession austerity is a very bad idea it doesn't work and it makes millions of people very unhappy those
