easy to keep the. twenty eight. group. together the kremlin has flatly dismissed the claims that it was involved calling the poisoning a terrorist act russia has also expressed willingness to cooperate with british authorities but that's got little traction so far the u.k. foreign secretary boris johnson has been among russia's harshest critics even agreeing with nazi comparisons of the parliamentary hearing because all the roads lead to war. political corruption putin you can see why he missed the mark in thirty seconds. here so i think the comparison with mike in thirty six is is certainly right moscow considers this kind of statements made under the level of the foreign secretary in you we unacceptable and totally

irresponsible. british government just free to make a decision about its dissipation of the world cup but nobody has the right to insult the russian people who defeated nazis and lost more than twenty five million people by comparing our country to nazi germany. did it goes beyond the common sense and we do not think british war which are around us including those of the arctic cornwallis which share this opinion on the heels of boris johnson's comments the russian embassy in the u.k. also posted this photo in a controversial moment the british football team was ordered by british authorities to give a nazi salute before a friendly match with germany way back in one nine hundred thirty eight the ratcheting up of animosity towards russia this last week seem to be making its way into british schools now too and this is a jerk and it takes

dismissed and associate churkin our party wanted. meantime kremlin spokes person dmitri peskov been talking exclusively to r.t. sophie shevardnadze about this cripple case. first we have to remember and this turning point is the words of president putin that russia has nothing to do with this accident. the first blaming. came from politicians just a couple of hours after the accident. and now we're see we see words of experts and experts of organization for four or four. p.c. w. . that see that the preliminary examining of this agent will take about three weeks is it contradictory yes it is.

france was struck by terrorism again on friday want to government hijacked a car and took hostages at a supermarket in a small southern town three people died that day while a fourth succumbed to his injuries on saturday the attacker had pledged allegiance to islamic state and was eventually shot dead by special forces. in the movie i went shopping with my wife and sister in law after some time we had an explosion well several. i saw

a man lying on the floor and another person who was very agitated with a handgun in one hand and a knife in the other and yelling allahu akbar after that i took my wife and me about and we went to look for shelter i put them in a butcher's for there he was very kind very sociable adorable over two weeks to the children and he is a terrorist. the terrorist has been identified he was killed during his solo investigation will have to answer some important questions when and how was he radicalized and how and when did he procure the weapon. we have for several years paid with our blood to know the terrorist menace. among those who died was police officer our noble try swapped places with a female teacher to listen in when spurs best special forces heard gunshots they then stormed the place the family had been wounded in fact he died as mentioned

just now in hospital on saturday morning he's being held as a national hero over the past year alone there's been repeated terror attacks and thwarted attempts in france this remind ourselves of the grim timeline in february twenty seven a man entered the louvre museum in paris with a machete while an attacker was also stopped at all the airports just a month later a police officer was shot dead last april on the shelves elisa you may recall last october two young women were stabbed to death at a railway station in march say it's not good reading former british intelligence officer and he says the fact the gunman was under police surveillance here exposes clear wider failures. it's part of the passing that we're seeing emerging across europe over the last few years of people carrying out these low tech type of attacks with high. rates who are of course on the radar of at least the police if not indeed of the intelligence agencies but for some reason they're not being

watched carefully enough they're not being monitored carefully enough they're being followed around. and they're allowed to get more radicalized and carry out these are appalling deeds it's hard to see what more fronts can do i mean they had a state of emergency declared after battle plan attacks all the powers are still there in france it just change the name they change the terminology and yet all those powers are still preventing the security agencies and police from protecting their french citizens so i fell see how much more they can do. a story in this recurrent facebook's mark zuckerberg has taken out a series of ads now and sunday newspapers in the u.s. and u.k. apologizing for failing to protect users data it follows claims that the private information of tens of millions of people was collected without their permission and exploited for political gain jacqueline vogel reports. several u.k. and american newspapers featured full page apologies from facebook boss mark zuckerberg they abstain it's this was

a breach of trust and i'm sorry while promising to do better in the future that's after having written a post online about the changes the company will be making and saying facebook has learned its lesson during a c.n.n. interview we need to make sure that there aren't any other cambridge general because out there right or folks who have been properly access data you know we need to make sure that we don't make that mistake ever again but not everyone is buying what zuckerberg is selling this cartoonist gave his response is a big thumbs down mocking the statements more than anything it reads i'm sorry that we've been forced to stop ignoring these data breaches and they aren't alone in thinking that facebook has some explaining to do as dr burke has been called to testify both in the u.s. and the u.k. on the situation now the whole scandal is centered around the british data gathering firm called cambridge analytic dated they collected was involved in donald trump's presidential campaign and possibly others as well the whole story blew up when it came to light that the company allegedly mined fifty million facebook profiles for its operations while its parent company was reportedly

involved in psycho social studies for the u.k. defense ministry cambridge analytical is now under investigation its offices have been raided and its chief executive has been suspended the company denies any and all wrongdoing the scandal has also led to a backlash against the social network facebook's share price plunged to a four year low and the company is now facing multiple lawsuits from shareholders over on twitter meanwhile the house to delete facebook has been trending with some high profile people joining in as the fear of breach privacy is at the front of everyone's minds the point is being missed here it's not cambridge analytic it's the fact that facebook is a tool a proxy if you will of that government and its. own it it was conceived it sued darpa to see. money this this feigned oh do you think they use the information against there or are you kidding me facebook app

for everything that we do is basically sucking up every bit of information we have lionel despite the two major firms at the center of the data scandal having roots in america and the u.k. none the less a c.n.n. reporters try to tie the story to russia or regards the of takes a look. imagine being a liberal a democrat and being stuck in a trump presidency for a year is it must be horrible waking up every day guessing that what russia was songe bots or hackers have cooked up the day came original that i had powerful connections to candidate trump including one time top advisor steve bannon and billionaire donor robert mercer so presidential son in law jared cushion or and consultant brad parr scale brought in the company which is now accused of utilizing

data from fifty million facebook users without permission facebook was how trump was going to win wait a sec something's wrong where's the bad guy who do we blame this on. there it is questions are also swirling about a possible link to russian metal cambridge c.e.o. wiki leaks seeking access to e-mails from hillary clinton's private server there's no evidence rikki leaks had such information but wiki leaks was releasing e-mails from the computers of other democrats which authorities say were hacked by russians and another trump advisor roger stone great innings i actually communicated with what how do you even make the connection what's your logic if someone speaks to a songe their russian agent there is zero connection here other than the word russia being in every other sentence there is only one explanation c.n.n.

report must have been put together by a random generator literally this explanation makes more sense than cnn's report as savage the dia and see oil trump the russians cambridge had because we've got the keywords just fill the spaces with whatever. he also directly message to russian hacker he says he did nothing wrong and despite another claim that cambridge had ties to a russian oil company the campaign insists there were never any links to russia are you comfortable that the trunk campaign through their cameras analytical had a connection to wiki leaks. they did have a connection wiki leaks let me demonstrate if you are of average height and your birthday is in july you are closely tied to a sound see how easy it is let's do this again if you like snow and the

russians like snow you are aligned with russia or if you want lots of money and all of us have lots of money you are susceptible to russian influence it's all nonsense but who cares it's about getting the keywords out there about confusing and confounding not explaining or investigating keywords people keywords. the russians everywhere. were goes to have reporting of those bodies in this afternoon from central russia authorities in the city a camera say five people have been killed in ongoing fire at a shopping center a further thirty two bit injured most are now being treated in hospital big old place there are also fears for the wellbeing of seventeen other people thought of it in that complex relatives say they are still unable to contact emergency

services say they're evacuating over one hundred people out of the place where this is of reported the fire started they think close to the center and a children's play area complex also had a petting zoo inside seems all of the animals are thought of being killed there as well investigation into what's gone so badly wrong because the fire which actually there is an update now reportedly in the last few minutes to be under control has been opened. still to come on the weekly wrapping up russia's presidential election and unrest in france's anger over president macross tough economic reforms boils over. kristen trumps hiring and firing practices are still surprising the recent appointments of mike. bolton have left an impression on friends and foes alike what impact will have on american politics.
