posts on social media anyway when our correspondent jacqueline bouvier has been across all this for us jacki we'll get into the content of all this in a minute but bring us up to speed on why these tweets are being seen as so important well of course for a while now social media posts on social media have been completely wrapped up in the idea of alleged russian meddling in the two thousand and sixteen presidential election scores of so-called russian apparently took to twitter to facebook all these social networks in order to influence voters and sway the outcome of the election and people have been really really focused on that as of late let's take a quick with. portals into our society russia has harnessed the tremendous and quite frankly to me frightening power of social media sowing discord in the u.s. by inflame passions on a range of divisive issues truly troubling evidence of the scope and reach of russia's interference in our last election. well there was some pretty bold the

let's get to the nitty gritty what's in these tweets well not exactly what you might expect to especially since they're saying that these tweets are all coming from an organization that's got links to the kremlin and n.b.c. the news organization that published this database they actually got them through anonymous sources it's not exactly clear how they got all these tweets because they were in fact deleted by twitter earlier and you think that it would just be chock full of pro trump anti hillary pro-republican messages given that the intelligence community really did say about putin had a goal of getting of getting trump into the white house let's take a listen to that what they had to say there. secretary clinton so much the flip side effect on was she had a clear preference for the first run against the person who did so much. now to be fair there are a number of protruding tweets there are a number who are never hillary hashtags in there but there's also quite
4:35 am
a few that are in favor of hillary clinton of the things that she did quoting speeches that she made or there's also tweets that are in favor of bernie sanders who is also a democratic candidate so it's a little bit of this in a little bit of that in there is it all about the election again no there are comments that have nothing do with it whatsoever instead focusing on hard hitting topics such as the woes of sleeping in your contacts or waking up to an alarm clock or of course it's the internet so porn was in there as well so not exactly to do with the election and we've also been told that twitter bots you know use these inflammatory tweets to create unrest and divide in the country but there's also a number of tweets in this database that call for peaceful solutions when it comes to black life matters when it calls for unity in the country as well so you can't really it's hard to coincide you know the idea of the rest of division with unity
4:36 am
and peace but the real cherry on the top of this whole story is the fact that there's a number of anti russia tweets within this list going on about russian hackers and how hillary clinton had war in the world against alleged trumped russia collusion away early on in the presidential campaign so the internet is a divisive place that's just the way it is and especially when you can anonymously write whatever you want and so this collection of tweets really does just feel like around up every day things that you see on the internet all the time so in shoulder accounts on twitter the tweets are going from page ok all right jacki thank you very much for the. thanks to thousands of supporters of the french football club. marched through madrid on wednesday ahead of their champions league match against real madrid. the french found set off flares and fireworks close to their opponent's home
