and who would intend this is the u.k. we're supposed to deliver that information. do you keep failed to do that so now russia requested the executive council to provide all information the next step. is supposed to do right now is to. make sure that the executive council requests that the u.k. provides all the information about scruples issue because. the executive council is obliged to do that so why wouldn't the u.k. provide the world with the same information it's not clear and this reason is much more coalitions to the cabinet or for me especially towards johnson in how the really established default of russian federation in. group us issue. facebook has admitted that the scale of
6:31 am
a data breach of its accounts that was used for political purposes has turned out to be far larger than previously thought the tech giant says that the profiles of up to eighty seven million people could have been shared with data research firm cambridge analytic or early estimates said fifty million. in total we believe the phrasebook information of up to eighty seven million people mostly in the u.s. may have been improperly shared with cambridge and. cambridge analytical license data for no more than thirty million people the firm that has been using this information it's called cambridge and a little and essentially it does data collection and polling and analysis for political parties political campaigns and groups they use this information essential to craft their messaging craft their campaigning in a way that would be persuasive they kind of create a psychological profile of the potential voters based on what they have collected from facebook and social media they then use that information to craft their
6:32 am
campaign advertising their messaging etc and now the data harvesting happened in a tacit agreement with facebook now facebook says they had no malicious intent. however this has really hurt their reputation the government of germany actually went as far as asking for a clarification from facebook for an explanation we also have seen the trend delete facebook all over social media with people you know tweeting out you know delete facebook calling for people to stop using facebook in response to this perceived you know dissemination of people's personal information that we do know that facebook is now in the process of changing their apps so that certain apps are more protected that the privacy of their users is more protected but as we see you know this call for for facebook to be deleted for people not to be used to using facebook is expanding so a lot of questions are being raised and it's certainly true that the reputation of
6:33 am
this very widely used social media app is is severely tarnished will be off the internet you know ex-pat u.i. cohen and media analyst timothy coll for that these on the facebook scandal. kember generally the guys denying the figure they claim there is only thirty million but i don't think it makes a lot of for the for very thirty million a late in the year and i think it is the principle behind the old story about what about the use of intimate robots as we call them books. in order to meddle with the us elections now still stories seem now a little bit out of there a little bit ridiculous nobody is talking about it but it was very interesting to hear his desire to beg only a couple of weeks ago. almost apologizing for allowing him to leave the boxes today that it was then you are doing election is the the story was about
6:34 am
influencing election but by body. rather than access the news is they've done locally this is a company that roots so rapidly that the people who are managing facebook lost control of their creation and the whole business model of facebook is built on this idea that they they collect highly targeted data on their users and then sell that data to advertisers and others and i think there just wasn't enough oversight of that process basement to say that they can they can police themselves internally they can solve these problems with their own oversight that i think that you know there's a legitimate reason that that's not good enough we need to look at a new regulatory framework that will protect the privacy of users of social media not just facebook but people go on google and other popular platforms. it seems
6:35 am
the presence of american troops in syria has become a confusing issue for washington last week donald trump announced he wants a withdrawal to happen very soon the reports in the us media say he's being advised not to pull the troops out a toll so with an ever changing white house rhetoric trump is backpedaling to promise that a decision on the matter should be taken say. we're knocking the hell out of isis will become another syria like very soon let the other people take care of it now our primary mission in terms of that was getting rid of isis we've almost completed that task and will be making a decision very quickly to pull the troops out so i want to get out i want to bring our troops back home i want to start rebuilding our nation the question of america's withdrawal from syria was raised at a summit in ankara with the leaders of russia turkey and iran to ron expressed it skepticism at washington's plan. united states is one thing
6:36 am
one day and then a completely different thing the next so we cannot trust their words or actions it seems they want to benefit from syria as much as possible the main focus of the ancora summit was to discuss the peace plan for war torn syria and despite some differences russian iranian and turkish leaders found common ground and reports. the three guarantors have met here at ankara's presidential palace there's absolutely no doubt about the three countries commitment to what they're doing together though they're all here with their own different missions diverted on keep saying that his country won't tolerate any armed hardish militias in northern syria so the so-called bad will continue no matter what the iranian leader hassan rouhani says that external powers although he did specifically mention the u.s.
6:37 am
and israel keep trying to use terrorists on the ground to reach some of their own goals for tehran a strong foothold in syria is a strong message to tel aviv and some of its other regional adverse rees lot of our proven proudly speaks of russia's evacuation efforts and he's which have paid off although perhaps the most important point from the russian president here and was that moscow is in possession of some intelligence that points to plans by some radicals to destroy the road to peace with a chemical attack. on joint strategic goal is to eliminate the terrorists who keep trying to destabilize the situation on the ground and sabotage the peace process but they are doing this in every way possible we have obtained undeniable evidence of planned provocation by the militants with the use of chemical agents there were
6:38 am
no questions planned but then suddenly top aired on and encouraged the audience to ask some things and then the first question came in it was about the price that there is to pay for storing syria and a lot of my putin said that all three countries feel it's their duty to spend money on that and help syria recover but he also encouraged everyone else the entire international community to get involved in actually turn words into actions. people in michigan are taking on food giant and nestlé over the use of ground water with all the details for you coming up after this quick break.

welcome back of the students at a florida school where a mass shooting took place has spoken out against new security measures that a teenage shoots a killed seventeen students and staff members at parks and high school in february students say they want well thought out changes not quick fixes claiming to see through backpack which is one of the school's all says is a useless invasion of their privacy some are calling reports. it's been almost two months since the survivors of the deadly school shooting in park when called on the government to take action what's more important is actual action and pertinent action that results in saving thousands of children's lives but some of the initiatives taken to curtail gun violence haven't been so popular like these clear backpacks made mandatory at marjorie stoneman douglas high and by the editor of bad intentions my new backpack is almost as transparent as the end i raise agenda i
6:41 am
feel so safe now starting over the last quarter of senior year right with a good old violation of privacy now i can't lie about not having gum moving on to another state and another brilliant and this shit a middle school teacher in georgia afterwards to write a letter to congress demanding stricter gun control because i'm an enraged parents who complained that it was unethical to bring the issue into the school's curriculum pennsylvania has its own rather unique solution if an armed intruder attempts to gain at princeton the work class terms they will face a classroom full of students armed with rocks and they will be stoned but apparently this is plan b. b. district superintendent said that the rocks were his own suggestion after scrapping plan a which was great for golf balls so it looks like those in charge of fixing the issue of gun violence seem to be using the debate to score political points and one of the best examples of this is senator marco rubio i respect their view and
6:42 am
recognize that many americans support certain gun bans however many other americans do not support a gun ban seems like this in makeshift solutions are perhaps not what the shooting survivors had in mind when they called for action samir khan r t washington d.c. . the u.s. state of michigan has become a battlefield between a corporation and citizens despite widespread opposition food joints nestlé is being allowed to extract drinking water from the state's groundwater table eighty two thousand people vote. against the corporation getting a permit to pump the water versus just seventy five you thought it was a good idea the confrontation goes as far back as two thousand and one when nestlé was first sued for potential damage to lakes rivers and streams as a result the company had to limit the withdrawal now people are once again forcing their concerns he says when we moved here you can see that there is no no growth
6:43 am
on either side nestle has a reputation worldwide of going to perp or rural communities are for your kind of economic benefits to the community that never really have the curial eyes and take in as much water as they can get and one stream runs dry they believe. the nestlé contractor who received the permit says it will carefully review the agreements and will comply with all the requirements michigan an environmental council said the water extraction will be highly monitored. if they do pump in the the level of the water goes down this is something that groups like our own could take nestle to court and have the courts and force the permit we make sure that no nobody takes too much water out of the river so that it so that it runs dry or everything so that's why they're going to monitor the flow and make sure that that flow maintains
6:44 am
a healthy level and in cases where if the stream flow starts to drop then they're required to turn back their wells and turn them down so it's going to be very closely monitored withdrawal and if we do see that impact happening then we'll be asking state officials to avoid the permit and make west nestle turn the wells off . the hunts for alleged kremlin backed strolls in full swing once again and this time a u.s. think tank called that has determined at the most likely culprits foreigners who use poor english on social media. one of the things which betrays genuine russian troll fact trick counts is the language look for an inability to use the n a russian is one of the languages which
6:45 am
doesn't have the. what's going on so you're going to group you suggest i'm a political refugee came to the us when i was mine and i still sometimes use their own article i in just about every other immigrant i know have been booed and shamed because of imperfect in which. many twitter users who void use of an indefinite articles to stay within the character limit twitter does not always slanted to sell to good syntax. interests and does that mean most us citizens are russian trolls since bunch of them can't even form a crack to a complete sentence. well there are doubts he would love to hear your thoughts on all of our stories so do
6:46 am
get in touch by following us on social media or the back about thirty minutes with the latest headlines. back to gisors financial survival guide. housing bubble. oh you mean there's a downside to artificial mortgage rates don't get carried away that's cause report . there are some was selling. that all of them mama. i don't mama little bit of that over a minute more. the old read a little frisky. i'm not getting through a lot but if they're going to be chilcote for you know. sort of.
6:47 am
6:48 am
greetings and salutations privacy is dead watchers i wish i was speaking metaphorically but since the rise of the security industrial complex in the aftermath of nine eleven we've gradually seen our constitutionally protected rights to privacy evaporate like punks after the latest football match tragically some folks are perfectly comfortable with this not batting an eye when the n.s.a. scoops up their metadata and phone calls all for the sake of national security you see those folks prefer safety over privacy but would you feel just as comfortable and safe if a foreign government rather than your own was listening in on your private calls
6:49 am
and reading your texts. that's what citizens living here in washington d.c. are now asking themselves after u.s. authorities have acknowledged that authorize cell phone spying devices are potentially being used on the good folks living here in the nation's capital and a letter to u.s. senator ron wyden the democrat out of oregon the department of homeland security revealed that the d h s national protection programs directorate has observed anomalous activity in the national capital region that appears to be consistent with international mobile subscriber identity captures what all that godly good means is yes foreign or criminally operated sting rays have descended upon washington d.c. and quite frankly i wish i was talking about the cartilage and especially now i'm talking sting rays and devices like them you may remember simulate cell towers in order to capture mobile device signals and the devices these sting rays depending
6:50 am
on their sophistication can do everything from eavesdrop on your calls to plant malware on your phone now if that upsets you make sure you're sitting down because the united states government as of now isn't planning to do anything about it let's find out why as we start watching the hawks. it's. good to see you. like you know that i got. this. week so. well that we're going to watch the hawks i am to roll with them to have the law and if we are probably being listened to i would imagine i get
6:51 am
this feeling that i got like thousands upon thousands of people watching and listening to me right now why would that be. more of your anyway but why do you see rays all over the place a perfectly well i don't know that i'm entirely shocked i mean it isn't as if this is a farm town so it's a good point there's a version for is a very good point yeah i mean one of the bigger things when you look at it is you know this this is a city that is full. of soldiers active duty military you know we've got the pentagon the n.s.a. the cia the f.b.i. and pretty much all of the contractors from within that apparatus and all the pieces of it so it's not that odd to understand that there are a ton of people in in this city that are very tech savvy that are savvy of their own privacy even if they don't think about of a large scale so they probably do have two phones or they do have certain things but for the rest of d.c. we're sort of unsuspecting masses. who knows and we don't know that this is just
6:52 am
spying on some sort of foreign policy issue like you say you know embassies we don't know that it's it's just as this is criminal organization through and who knows when suddenly your credit card or whatever is an intercepted yeah you know and there can be faffed and if you're talking to the banker on your phone and you're giving up your for the social security number that you're at the something's yeah someone's recording it what they have that and they said that you're you know they suddenly we're talking about earlier today that a lot of these things they can't pinpoint who's doing it or where but they can say that you know most likely it would be you know at an embassy so they could monitor calls and people walking up to the embassy or something like that that would be actually reasonable depends invasive but you could you could make an argument for it but what's really interesting is you know why isn't the united states taking action why are we seeing an outrage over this you know why are we seeing people say why homeland security have covered that there's you know these sting rays they're scooping up some of your potentially cell phone towers all over town well they're
6:53 am
not shutting down the stick raising devices like them because one it's a very expensive process for the major wireless network providers to upgrade their systems in order to combat this problem and so the phones don't do all the thinking that you know the listening devices the cell tower. yes there are business doesn't like the cost so much the other big pushback comes from our own law enforcement intelligence agencies because they use the same technology here is stateside and if suddenly the so-called towers and all those industries upgrade where the susceptible to. the law enforcement loses their ability to spot so it's ok to soccer players are privacy to foreign governments as long as we keep the ability to spoil you as well. as the logic of play. and there's the idea that it's you know he said when it comes to your your security what won't you give up you know what will we give up and this in the idea of security so now here you're sitting you know
6:54 am
looking at these options and as you said it's why does everyone else get to do this . or i can you know put a bunch of cameras up and protect myself in a way that i want to but they're allowed to and corporations and possibly shady governments that have embassies all of this stuff well according to the lawmakers they've been inquiring about the use of these to graze for quite some time in washington d.c. i think we've even talked about it on this show over the years of them doing because security company researchers a security company researchers back in twenty fourteen had conducted these sweeps and found an authorized devices these on authorized sting rays and they weren't just anywhere it wasn't just a it was around the corner from my house it was around the corner from the white house like it was literally near the white house's pre-court commerce department and the pentagon. so there was a twenty fourteen if you remember the federal communications commission started the task force into the illicit use of sting rays nothing has come from that there
6:55 am
offend no reports there's no memos there's nothing maybe someday it'll go to what the task force. boy that if that's taskmaster. good work later well we've got nothing but. another. great job. there's no guarantee of a successful prosperous career quite like a four year or better yet graduate college education that was the an arguable promise of college boosting programs like the g.i. bill and is the foundation of both modern college prep school curriculums and the stunningly profitable college test prep industry and now not only has college enrollment ballooned to historic levels and the most basic office assistant positions on linked in requiring a bachelor's degree at minimum we have allowed an entire generation of americans to shackle themselves to an ever growing college loan bubble now totaling over a trillion dollars but we're pushing young students more and more forcefully into
6:56 am
the college that system and entice in them and loan packages worth more than your average home mortgage are we forgetting about their much more basic survival needs it appears so as a recent study finds a thirty six percent of us college students struggle to even afford food while thirty six percent can't afford a place to live or face the constant risk of having to sleep on the street is the question watchers is a college education really worth putting a third of generation on the brink of homelessness and hunger who know what but as a college education. if you have to start. starving to be homeless because you can't pay the rent just so you can go to school there's something inherently wrong with that there's something wrong with the system that and we've talked about this a couple days now in a row or so they're talking about teachers not getting paid why would you grade teacher and why would you not paid educators that silly why would you do that now
6:57 am
here we are the next day going and. you know education. third. it's not like overturned first serve as well now and that's really you know there's a third that's that's that's a big slice of the poem i don't know if you know this but you need food to make your brain work so and you need sleep to make your brain work so you can learn i mean praise the idea. that you are at risk of not having a place to live what you're going to school what they want you to live out of your car well that's illegal now in california believe it right as we got it live out of the back of your car there anymore it is really incredible yes and then when you look at it wasn't just the sort of ambiguous because i know a lot of times with these reports we've talked about these studies where the number is like all this thing at risk and it's really not it's pretty ambiguous no no they went down to the tiniest portion of this and they didn't just qualify quantify just the idea of risk they showed that reports that ninety percent nine percent of u.s.
6:58 am
college students found themselves homeless and the past year that's almost ten percent of college kids and that's six percent were first forced to go at least one whole day without food now if you're going to cetera while you can go a day without food you do it you know go through your whole day don't have any food then go to work. and then come home and get up and do it again and see how long the idea of the you have these are young adults their brains are growing this is where you're supposed to be learning and it's at its big parts because it's expensive you have a choice do i pay my tuition or do i do i pay the book costs and write about my books or do a yeah i mean i didn't go to college i'll admit it you're on television i didn't go to college i love coming out of a zero nine clause that the greek laws under. oath to the school hollywood with the . man when you when you look at this is really jarring because when you consider the fact that colleges and not just harvard yale but even the most modest ones as
6:59 am
well are sitting on like tax exempt developments were billions of dollars billions are look what we just saw happen at howard university here in d.c. where you have all of this money that ended up getting shuffled off to somewhere else you know that it went to your street like st. tyrone let me turn would you would you see like when you say you know the money is there it's in the system there is a lot of you know in these there's money from all those debts and i don't want you stacked the deck of goods because if they're already broke trying to get the better education to try to better their life but then they're going to get out of school then they've got the great student loan debt hanging over their heads they're not going to be able to survive if you already don't have the money you know no and that's the thing it's you know we have one of these two two situations and i was one of those people who had to work and put myself through college and it was still a paid enough those student loan debts from from my undergraduate degree you know you do have to make the choice you make the choice whether to have
7:00 am
a social life you make the choice whether it's to you know how many hours can i work how much how much can i borrow or how much can i pay now so i don't have to how much money can i put away for after graduation and what i thought happening is that you know a lot of people and foregoing a decent meal. going a social life or going the actions about college that sort of help you go sort of learn how to enter into you know the adult world and bags you don't get to do it you don't get to be a regular person and have a life because you're worried about whether you're going to end up having to sleep body or car and whether or not your financial aid is going to cover something and then you're eating ramen noodles it's not a fad it's a survival for a lot of. the square where you also work to restructure a process and you do not a very architecture is don't forget to let us know what you put a top or discovered a facebook and twitter so our poll shows that are two dot com coming up we present the second half of short stories conversation on social media data mining and us
