data from millions of facebook members and then exploiting it for political goals is being revealed that the ministry paid cambridge analytical parent company s c l group who was being described as human and social influence work on top of that the firm was reportedly granted access to secret government documents it's also said to have carried out research to see how people would interact with certain government messaging polly boyko takes up the story. cambridge on a ticket is seemingly everywhere apart from helping the campaign to victory by using information harvested from millions of facebook profiles it turns out the company's services have been used by the british government to cambridge on the parent company is called the f c l group the whistleblower who on earth the facebook data breach calls the two entities as c.l. and cambridge on the one in the say s c l used to be on the payroll of the british

defense ministry thanks to a freedom of information request from twenty six d. we know that in two thousand and eleven the energy paid for the provision of external training and in twenty fifteen it paid for psycho social research to top it all off s.c.l. got the green light to hold british government secrets on its premise britain's information commissioner's already investigating cambridge analytic over the facebook data breach but in light of the defense contracts with its parent company as c l the chair of britain's home affairs select committee is now demanding a why did government investigation into the company's activities there are now growing concerns about whether there should be a wider investigation into the to reduce there are concerns about the implications for democracy about information being used in an illegitimate way and no one has

the chance to counteract it and the trees it's real problems outside of the u.k.'s c l's and cambridge analytic his client list reads like a who's who of contentious elections and political hot spots cambridge on the list who was hired by kenya's ruling party ahead of its elections last year the company is accused of stoking ethnic tensions and manipulating voters online prejudices to help kenya's leaders stay in power the company's also accused of orchestrating political. sting operations on their client's political rivals and circulating the evidence online among as seals clients was ukraine it was hired by the kiev government to help recapture the self-proclaimed republic of donetsk. contract to deliver a data driven strategy for the ukrainian government in pursuit of the goal to win back control of donetsk findings replied to designed localized communications

campaigns to erode and weaken the people's republic this particular campaign didn't bear much fruit for the ukrainian government the website reveals yet another tied to the british government the ukraine report it says was delivered to kiev and shared with the u.k.'s ministry of defense i don't really believe the ministry of defense should be involved in a company one arm of which at least is engaged in a series of campaigns around the world of propaganda and manipulation apparently and political interference secondly i don't really see why the ministry of defense is in any case spending huge amounts of money. on a propaganda work and finally the question of secrecy i mean apparently this company was given access to top secret information and this seems to me to be an extremely. worrying revelation it's likely that the next chapter in the cambridge

on the little scandal won't be its links to facebook but to governments around the world including the u.k. . where the british defense ministry has reacted to the story saying it has no current relationship with a c.e.o. group of the company has access to classified information. donald trump has revealed who will take over as his new security advisor the man being appointed is former u.n. ambassador john bolton who is known for his strong stance on north korea and iran the appointment was made in typical trump style on twitter but u.s. president also made use of the social media platform earlier this month when he fired his secretary of state rex tillerson more pin has a look now at the new arrival through washington's revolving door. he is the third national security advisor to the donald trump administration in the last fourteen

months and john bolton is a long time advocate of the use of force against iran and against north korea now those are two countries that are rather vital for the trumpet ministration in the coming months in may donald trump will have to weigh in on the iran deal whether or not it will continue and furthermore the usa is on the verge of carrying out the historic meeting the first meeting between a head of state of the usa and the leader of the democratic people's republic of korea so at this point a lot of questions remain so the fact that john bolton has been selected is rather interesting i think they want to make peace i think it's time so it could be a long and unproductive meeting or it could be assured unproductive meeting we hope that these new measures directed at the arabian dictatorship will compel the government to reevaluate its pursuit of terror at the expense of its people well i

think he's on the verge of making a mistake i think his advisors are pushing him in the wrong direction you know are destroyed the certification question is utterly irrelevant john bolton served as the u.s. ambassador to the united nations under the administration of george w. bush and his appointment was quite controversial at that time for statements he had made harshly criticizing the united nations can trail donald trump was quite critical of military intervention isn't by the united states saying that he wanted to stop toppling regimes however john bolton is a long time advocate for military interventions around the world so big developments on the horizon regarding iran and north korea from a u.s. diplomat told of the appointment of john bolton could aggravate the situation with iran. a lot of people mistakenly said that during the campaign trump said he would tear up the agreement because it was a very bad agreement he did exactly said that he said it was a very bad agreement but he likes to make bad agreements good i think he came in

with the notion that if he was threatening and up we could get the europeans on board and pressure the russians or the chinese to say that we want to add missile technology and not threatening israel a lot of other things to the agreement to change the agreement to something he likes better maybe that's still their game play and maybe they think if they have somebody who is sufficiently bellicose they can scare the europeans into siding with the americans on changing the agreement and not have to pull out of it but i have no doubt now that the regime change is going to be a cardinal conscious goal of american policy paling that there will be an attempt to do so by military means. of bringing you breaking news this hour where there are reports of multiple shootings in a southern french town one of the attackers is believed to have barricaded himself inside a supermarket as a policeman has been injured and there are also reports of an ongoing hostage situation is also thought the attacker has pledged allegiance to islamic state the

a while to get that final count out how they're. yes certainly has nikki this is the final conclusion of those election results all the votes have been counted across the many many regions across russia and if you're asking why it's taken so long well it's not just the votes that need to be counted also is followed a very formal procedure and that procedure has also been investigating complaints and violations that have taken place now all of those polling stations that have been found to have violated some of the rules they are going to go through a court proceedings now those votes are also will be considered or not considered at all but if we look at the bigger picture here the any of those violations are indeed very significant and wouldn't have influence the results at all so the result as follows. in first place was flooded mitt putin who stood as an independent he got just under some seven percent in second place it was preval

gluten in from the communist party just under twelve percent third place it was german ascii he got and just under six percent and sobchak got just under two percent the others got well i the one percent and the other candidates so glad to meet putin he has addressed the nation since this victory was confirmed not only to the thank his supporters he also addressed those who didn't support him during the voting and called for unity for the sake of the nation let's take a listen. i want to show you a few words to all the shoshu and political forces we have. our country i know the rules of political competition imply that the current government is criticized left right and center always indeed criticism and discussions are necessary and very important but there should be no place for reckless populism here what we should be

what we've been told by the french prime minister edward phillipe that this situation is being dealt with as extremely serious and there have been reports that have come out now in the last few minutes nicky that have suggested that some gunfire has been heard from the supermarket this is where a gunman has taken some people hostage we're not sure of the numbers of hostages but we do understand that there is more than one and those reports from associated press suggesting that some of the hostages have been shot although at the moment these are unconfirmed reports and we are waiting for more information from the police what we do know that happened is that about quarter past eleven french time this morning a gunman took hostages inside the super super market in a town called. that's near the southern town of caucus own in the south of france we also understand that there was another incident just before that where a group of unarmed c.r.'s police officers were having

a morning jog they were from our say they were all unarmed when apparently a van came along and tried to run them over now one of the c.r.s. police officers was actually injured we understand that they were shot in that incident now the two incidents are pinned treated as separate incidents but of course there is the chance that they could be merged together until one incident and we have been hearing reports that the gunman who has taken a number of people hostage in this supermarket in the south of france has a cool to one prosecutor already pledged allegiance to eisele this is of course the group islamic state that has been waging a war across europe and the particularly here in france over the last. years in two thousand and fifteen overseas there were the attacks in the magazine then at a kosher supermarket not long after that and then of course there was that night of terror in paris in november two thousand and fifteen when many many people were

killed and many people were injured in a coordinated series of attacks on the city but for the moment at this hostage situation we understand that gunshots have been heard coming out of that super you supermarket in the town of carson in southern france we don't know how many hostages are in there but we have been told that there is an operation underway and the french prime minister edward phillipe is treating this as extremely serious but i shall it thank you for those details the french prosecutors say they are treating this hostage taking as a terror incident that's been reported in the media but for now i thank you for those details do both can you there we will be bringing you more details on this breaking news story throughout the day so do stay with us for that. another news the b.b.c. is under fire for its alleged bias against opposition leader jeremy corbett viewers claim the channel is deliberately trying to portray the u.k. labor party head as two russian unassisted churkin a story. take

a look at this image that the b.b.c. used in one of its news programs causing quite a stir in the u.k. jeremy sparrow jeremy has been on the right side of history for the last thirty five years or from the right side of history and libya on the right side of history on afghanistan the right side of history in relation to iraq so which which side of history is he on the picture depicts the opposition party leader jeremy corbyn on red square wearing something that strongly resembles a russian hat and here is the original image. suffice it to see twitter wasn't happy nice impartial backdrop the b.b.c. news night perhaps could be split with a picture of pm clutching fistfuls of roubles and laughing. that backdrop is some absolutely shameful shameful stuff asking for international cooperation and strong evidence before we ramp up war rhetoric is russian collusion now is it shameful columnist for the guardian and corbin supporter or when jones pointed this out to

the b.b.c. on air yesterday the background of your program you have jeremy corbyn dressed up against the kremlin. is no no no it's got to make it work for you and i'm not dressed up as a soviet state was it was a real picture and i mean cause if you even photoshop his heart to look over should this part of the debate was left out of the version posted online something that also didn't go unnoticed the b.b.c. denied photoshopping the image of the labor party leader but then joe rome a top u.k. barrister himself a corbin critic threw his weight behind the claims of b.b.c. bias my conversation which was conducted entirely in writing took place with x x is an individual at the b.b.c. whose seniority and sphere of work is such that it could not sensibly be suggested that x. is not properly qualified to speak on such matters x. stopped explicitly and unambiguous fully about how criticisms of korban that the b.b.c.

could not voice were deliberately coded into imagery or to approach the b.b.c. for comment but the broadcaster said it would not release a statement as it hadn't seen the evidence it did say though that the views of its program editors as expressed in their tweets did largely reflect the b.b.c.'s own mom says he can swear on the truth of his tweets adding that lying in his position would be a very big deal this storm of controversy comes after corbin called on the government to take a more measured approach to the school pole poisoning case it could be argued we only take these days to be branded a foreign agent and if they see it you're going to artsy london. security giant kaspersky lab has warned its customers about a highly sophisticated. he said mao were doing the rounds that can steal your private data however by highlighting the threat the firm is now being accused of undermining u.s. anti terror operations because he hasn't identified who is behind the mao web but

a media company called cyber scoop claims it's part of a classified u.s. program that targets potential terrorists and that by revealing it because berkeley has essentially burned the operation the antivirus lab explained it aims to protect people against such malware and gave its own warning about the malicious program fall into the wrong hands but exacting remaining eight all forms of malicious programs regardless of origin or purpose furthermore the company does not whitelist any malware samples not even mild we're used for so-called legal surveillance one can easily imagine the situation in which such malware falls into the wrong hands and can be used to launch attacks against law enforcement we're just regular users the cyber espionage program is allegedly code named slingshot and is able to steal large amounts of data including images and passwords from infected computers using

internet reduces well sophisticated malware is thought to have been online for over half a decade already targets of the malware have been discovered in africa and the middle east with over half of the attacks believed to be on yemen and kenya generally it has targeted the computers of individuals but in some cases it may have breached government institutions well we spoke with a kaspersky security expert about the dangers of the so-called slingshot program. after examining it for some time we can confidently say that it is intended for cyber espionage because all it does is collect data from your computer what makes this man we're so dangerous is that it stayed on the radar for quite a long time we discovered it last year we can't use this model with the operators of the smell where we're using it obtaining data and remaining unnoticed because this mole work is so advanced and uses many tricks to avoid detection. we're

turning now to our breaking news story this hour where there are reports of multiple shootings that are seven french town one of the attackers is believed to have barricaded himself inside a supermarket there is an ongoing hostage situation french authorities are treating it as a terror attack local prosecutors say the attacker has pledged allegiance to islamic state a french prime minister has called the situation serious there is conflicting information about whether there are any victims at this point at local media estimate there could be at least two victims so far the french interior ministry says that law enforcement is responding to the incident and is there going for people not to spread rumors regarding the incident we're going to bring you more details on this as soon as we know more stay tuned for that. well it's less than three months until sport the greatest show on earth kicks off right here in moscow the three for world cup r.t.
