florida hoping for reelection in the upcoming midterm elections say. the state's voter registration system but the local authorities state there's no information to back that claim up and brings us more in the story bill nelson democratic senator from florida has some alarming news he says that russia has hacked its way into the state's voter registration records they have already penetrated certain counties in the state and they now have free rein to move about well time demand the battle stations this is big news except for some reason no one in florida has ever heard about it there are rebel from the florida department of state says that no law enforcement is aware of anything of this nature she says they have received zero information from nelson about his claim and that the f.b.i. the d.h.s.s. and all the florida law enforcement have has observed nothing of the kind the department of homeland security in washington d.c.

has now confirmed that they've never heard about it spokesperson sarah sendek says that it didn't happen to she says we have not heard any news of compromises by russian actors of the election infrastructure bill nelson however says he has obsessional inside information about russian hackers in florida but he can't tell us the details because it's classified. he can't tell us which counties have been hacked because it's classified and he can't tell us who told him this you guessed it it's classified nobody in florida has heard of it the department of homeland security has not heard about it but let's take bill nelson at his word let's say the russians actually have hacked into the voting records don't you think that bill ought to be giving whatever information he has to the d.h.s.s. and to florida officials shouldn't he be telling them before he tells the media if they haven't heard about it yet shouldn't they have heard about it now and shouldn't they now take that information and stop the breach why is bill not swing
1:09 pm
into action getting all the local and federal officials involved well that's classified so classified that bill is holding all the cards and leaving the rest of america in the dark talk of russia is certainly a headline grabber but this time no one is rushing in to save the unnamed counties in florida and that's what makes it a bit too fishy it sounds a bit like somebody isn't telling the truth and that somebody is a lot closer to miami than the moscow. spade know surpassed both italy and greece as europe's main entry point for among different arrivals with almost thirty thousand people reaching its borders so far this year on thursday eighty seven asylum seekers docked in the southern spanish ports of syria that's with the local america claiming the city does not have the resources to cope with them we were not informed of anything as i have to ensure citizens
