rush is one of the countries that most buy capacity and all the very high population does that mean russia does need to be concerned about sustainability i would say yes absolutely you are no lucky situation where you have a lot of farm per person so to say you know you have a lot of wealth ecological wealth and but the word is very scarce so that's a huge economic advantage as well and say wow this is an amazing farm let's look after it well because that's said that book made a loss to live well the long run. this is. a church secret indeed catholic priests accused of sexually abusing children can get away with it quite literally i like to call this the do graphic
10:19 pm
solution so what the bishop needs to do then he finds out that the priest is is a perpetrator is simply moves him to a different spot where the previous standard is not the highest ranks of the catholic church conceal the accused priests from the police and justice system to that of that's known as the island and then i think you'll hear that it used to stay out in the. south.
10:20 pm
and i thought well. this is music apps this is video games this is me i'm sharing it it's much broader than twitter and google the u.s. senate intelligence committee considers how to respond to alleged foreign influence within social media russia helps the agenda also. seeing. protest in zimbabwe's capital during an anxious wait for the results of the first free elections in decades the opposition is accusing the ruling party of widespread fraud also coming up this hour. this is more of a registration type of crime as. the media and the government some extra are
10:21 pm
treating it like an espionage the lawyer of maria boots and the russian woman accused of being a kremlin agent in the us tells art see the case is being blown out of all proportion. just a few moments into a brand new day thursday august the second here in moscow good to have you with us this is our to international a day after facebook took done thirty to fake facebook and instagram accounts the u.s. senate intelligence committee has held a hearing on how to counter russia and other countries and their alleged attempts to undermine american democracy let's get into it to kill them in the u.s. or hi there callup russia in the spotlight again what's being said up hearing on any hard evidence this. well once again we've got u.s.
10:22 pm
officials who are talking up the dangers of influence operations and foreign meddling campaigns now as you might suspect this time as the senate intelligence committee is hearing testimony the villain is the same thing about how concerned we've been through this after election day the russian government stepped on the gas the russians in this case and others see us as a cheap date they have long term strategic goals which include where we can in western institutions and faith and democracy the russian government came into the house of the american. family and manipulated by cyber attacks remain us remain a core part of moscow's arsenal now as you might suspect the story goes on the same way we've heard it many times before essentially russia is accused of encouraging controversy in the united states around issues like immigration guns
10:23 pm
racism and all kinds of other things now one thing that's lacking in this report just like in so many other similar reports is any solid actual evidence. we can you estimate the number of americans touched by russian linked activity in this area i. know that is very difficult to do and i'm concerned that even after eighteen months of study we are still only scratching the surface when it comes to russia's information warfare now in their effort to influence the american mind apparently the kremlin has one very very powerful weapon and that would be me means . a lot of pride pride related content less news more memes this is a problem of the entire information ecosystem this is cross-platform reddit confirm
10:24 pm
hundreds of ira created accounts tumblr did it isn't just a couple of platforms this is music apps this is video games this is me i'm sure and it's much broader than twitter and google now in the portrait that the testimony painted on capitol hill you essentially got the impression that americans minds are very easily manipulated that all it takes to influence the way americans think about world events and politics is to give them a video game on a computer or a meme to look at and all the sudden their minds are changed now repeatedly during the hearings we heard members of congress expressing frustration with the american people saying that they were angry that the americans weren't just listening to what they called the good sources and were instead listening to other other news outlets other other voices expressing different views from there we also heard a call interesting lee for classes on media literacy to be given in american schools so that americans can know what news outlets they should be listening to
10:25 pm
and what news outlets they should not be listening to their e interesting it was quite a day on capitol hill if thanks for taking us through all of life from new york and . ok to africa where police in zimbabwe reportedly say about three people have been killed after the army opened fire on opposition protesters in the capital tanks moved in now as tensions rose over the delayed results of the first elections since longtime leader robert mugabe was always that. i. far only partial results. but the ruling zanu p.f. party is on course for a parliamentary majority i made claims of vote rigging voter intimidation e.u. observers have criticized the lane declaring the final results on will give a further assessment later of the presidential election result isn't yet declared
10:26 pm
either but on rest is for your successor emerson. staying power the opposition m.d.c. alliance has already declared its candidate nelson chamisa as the winner. and millions were drawn to polling stations the turnout was high around seventy five percent on two first time candidates are in a close race for the presidency after the gabby was posed in a military coup in the autumn his former right hand man took over and is being challenge for the top job by. the electoral commission has until saturday to the third the result now african affairs expert iow johnson told us the results will define zimbabwe's relations with the west and its own future economic development. this will be huge challenges and huge repercussions for whoever wins. and you see
10:27 pm
wins. then more than likely the west will be happy. with wins and it's deemed that there was some irregularities the question is if the way. it doesn't feel that the we've had a fair shake in terms of these elections than they could keep the sanctions growing that could keep some of the factors that have actually helped or prevented zimbabwe from developing and evolving and for its in growth to to happen and of course. it's in limbo so. i think that these elections are pivotal this is a crossroads and the decisions that are made from there from now on especially that of the presidency mr chairman or mr. would determine whether the west would support their claim. twitter has found itself once again at the center of the debate over censorship the latest controversy comes after it imposed the twelve
10:28 pm
hour suspension on austin peterson a republican candidate in the u.s. state of missouri senate race for what it described as abusive behavior his suspension came after a writer for the left leaning share blue website drew a link between peterson's acceptance of big corn for campaign financing and the alleged russian hacking of a democratic senator petersen responded to that with a gift featuring joseph stalin some users flag macand it's posters offensive that was subsequently deemed to have violated twitter's rules but the image was actually from the platforms own collection and can be fined on its database or twitter saves the tweets amounted to targeted harassment which is often used to silence voices on the platform but austin peterson claims there was more to this. three different emails were sent to me about this saying that i had not done anything wrong mysteriously two days later the ban was issued it almost seems as though something
10:29 pm
had gone on behind the scenes and that this would this was an attempt to suppress my speech during a critical election and it is quite ironic because my response was a was a picture of joseph stalin which was meant to be humorous saying off the gulag and then of course they mass reported me as if i have access to a gulag here in the state of missouri that i could that could be a credible threat on mr peterson's bond comes twitter brings together a special research team to come by prejudice and promote one it defines us collective health and openness on its platform but the plan seems to be causing controversy already with the assembled team being accused of a strong and donald trump bias. you can trump donald. something tells me little certainly started seeing more republicans in congress testing the waters and
10:30 pm
pushing. trump's twenty sixteen digital team and cambridge analysts say for help the russians figure out who to tell gates their fate he's campaigned on facebook. so what happens is the team work side algorithms that route incivility and intolerance on twitter and assess the extent to which people engage with differing viewpoints while often peterson he claims however that the platform despite what i'd say yes is actually making a concerted effort to censor certain ideas and talking points. we don't have free speech in the united states in order to be able to discuss the whether we have free speech in united states or the we can discuss very controversial things i don't mind if a social media network.
