that's. your skill post it shouldn't be did you should just import it to. survivors of a massacre at a technical college be to r.t. as it three days of mourning begin now a bit of a warning you may find the following images disturbing. as the city of caricature dreams killing chilling similarities are drawn to the columbine massacre in the u.s. almost two decades ago. twitter releases

a vast number of tweets supposedly generated by moscow trolls meddling in u.s. politics even though most of them were written in russian. broadcast. this is international. to have you with us. and three days of mourning are now underway in crimea after a bombing and a mass shooting at a college in the city of carriage twenty one people were killed and dozens injured the moment of the shooting was captured on video by one of the students and a bit of a warning you might find the footage disturbing. i

mean attacker set off a homemade bomb in the college cafeteria before going on a shooting rampage he then turned the gun on himself vigils have been held in courage prayers that were read for those who lost their lives and for the injured parties but i've got to visit the city for. the woods anguish sorrow grief don't begin to cover what has gripped the city all the pain all the see is here the chief question as it was in the beginning is why why when the first bomb exploded when the first shot sounded and when the first scene ages the first youths in the college behind me jumped out of windows and scaled the fences in an attempt to get away. but i want to do what you're doing if you keep. but. don't.

critique you. this is. right near the city is the city in your eyes you can see. the problem with so much testimony so many witness accounts is that it gets more and more difficult emotionally draining to listen to them hear friends describe how they witnessed their classmates died this is a beautiful. vision. that they gave. us a to welcome. data in the hope of getting was just in that you know it you're right about that it was a way to bring us into the boat on the trio system video which gives me what you

got the isa chests shift to your own but gave it. to be careful for you go to get it go. on movie and i'm taking a photo for. you in anything but a. little bit closer to media. when you put it for. a strong here about the scale of this calamity how first year medical students were enlisted to help deal with the wounded but may get a bonus told the mission is also a good to the obama show but she does snag on a problem of. the stale they give. up it goes at the show you go to the salon and i get sick pull up on you can you go to billy billy and they'll go be amazed at what actually has been sick but in my sin as i believe i see those. different killers i bought a new but anybody to dish on the bill i stayed a going to get that it was the low volatility. what is clear is that no one had any

sort of hint that this was coming nobody put the suspected shooter into the maniac category but it all began in the early hours of the morning with a ball. that it was about. to open a second on us to talk about it. but there's still another. bit. about how to combat. it. even though there's been a bit. bigger. than i you.

know we see of of moving into up and even as you know those that have all those that always close that you're good you pull them to the how do you not see this through yet yet bizarrely video of the leap was the bothered. by the who. does this who. am i was the desire i know paul if you are the boys you thought. he's going to see you bill could you really believe.

in while six injured students have been flown to the russian capital for the treatment this according to the moscow mayor they were hit by a bomb fragments of a gunman who committed suicide was an eighteen year old student of the college we spoke to his grandmother and neighbors. what could have to do with just to get me to start a stuff. and thank. you. credit for trying to put what he was working with this is just so much going on bush is talking so i should just you know but he just wanted. to stay out of the just. incidentally but that he put them in nigeria to know. so i guess with the particular studies to. move. we have more. national merit you. should move only modest.

means to save. you money i am not winning one more. this video has been released appearing to show the killer buying ammunition it was filmed on saturday we went to the weapons store and spoke to the seller. she did we should have moved to the store i don't know but the for the place was in the cooler goods of the perversity of the store box that is a buddhist and a little cool people who buy the political knew as an equal but those that in. the political. and the ability of the city would go. look at me and again you know you can actually it. is new but i will put new political one of them with wednesday's attack has been compared to another atrocity carried out almost twenty years ago.

twitter has released a vast number of tweets and supposedly showing russian meddling in the two thousand and sixteen u.s. election jacqueline volga has the story for us. remember those big bad russian trolls you've heard about for what feels like years now who are alleged to have up ended the us presidential election the so-called troll factory a secretive technology firm that created and distributed both fake news and

divisive stories and posts these were accounts that really looked like american citizens well and a bit for transparency twitter has published some nine million tweets from thousands of accounts they believed. eve were run by stud trolls and a few like us find the data more than a bit difficult to interpret were not conclusions have already been drawn by the digital forensic research lab twitter gave the group early access to the database and they put out a four part report where they outlined the major takeaways and some may surprise you for example the russian internet research agency's main target was apparently in fact russian speakers a chart breaking down what language tweets were written and shows that for years those in russian vastly outweighed those an english rather interesting given how influential the fake accounts activity was meant to be among american voters there is no doubt the russians are trying to influence the presidential election russia's blatant interference in the united states twenty sixteen presidential elections the

fact is russia meddled in our twenty sixteen elections right speaking of influence the positive conclusion of this is that the trolls were less effective than may have been feared many achieve little or no impact and their operations were washed away in the final hours of twitter according to the group's analysis the apparently ineffective russian operation had multiple goals including to prevent hillary clinton from winning the election that's something we've heard time and again and it's true that a good number of the tweets are anti hillary but those post didn't gain much traction whereas anti trump accounts such as these did the plus side to trump becoming more on hinge by the days more people are finally realizing that maybe having a treasonous man six your predator won't supremacist in the once house maybe isn't such a good thing if you think the drill donald trump is the worst presidents america ever had he's not worthy to be called

a human being according to the report such liberal accounts engage other users and much higher numbers meaning the trolls were much more successful at getting people to bash trump the man they were meant to be gay. adding to the white house and the trolls were also found to have push anti russian stance with they spread some content that was notably anti russian which highlights a key assessment of dissin from ation if successful in driving a country further apart rather than closer together internally that country would be less able to enact anti russian policy those gift tweeting trolls are clearly so smart they even outsmarted themselves like so much of the output of the internet research agency in st petersburg it had nothing to do with the election two thirds of them came out after the election some supported some against him some for clinton though some against it and some of the russian language as well so it's a complete mixed bag of course you could say what are they doing it at all why they

doing it and so you could say a lot of faith has to do it with the kidnapping i mean it's not you know with twitter is different but basically like so many of these posts on social media it's all about advertising it's all about raising profile so it's in my view a lot of this is making a mountain out of a molehill in the end the report warns that despite twitter's best effort and the fact that the troll farms goals went woefully unfulfilled they all mined this information war will soldier on the wire. watch march international more news after a break. china is in the software it's in the hardware as opposed to this so-called threat from russia where they're spreading needs that influence people to vote against their better interest they put him in a bernie sanders as

a. bodybuilder and this worked the mines of america to vote against their interests but china is actually infiltrating the hardware with actual chips try this actually paper trail of soccer with actual malicious software that's ok we're going to talk about that. over the loans decades russia's foreign policy has been deeply related to the united states senate approach at the wall when the american political reality became stranger than fiction mosco ones the bilateral relations to give thanks to normalcy good morning cynically should it do .

this is r g international now nearly half of u.s. soldiers believe their country is likely to be drawn into a major conflict within the next year this according to a new poll forty six percent of service personnel believe such a conflict is somewhat or very likely up from five percent last year. members of the armed forces were also asked you to rank the top dangers facing the u.s. at the top of the list for cyber terrorism along with russia and china former pentagon official michael maloof believes key national threats are widely misunderstood we have a looming a confrontation growing and so the troops may be right but i think it's probably in the wrong area i don't think it's going to be either china or russia that they should be concerned about it should be about doing something against iran and i think this latest case with jamal khashoggi cyber terrorism

as such even against troops in the field is a very realistic concern especially when you consider the extent to which the u.s. military today relies on technology to look at the f. thirty five b. if an e.m.p. went off and and they were able to successfully to freeze all electronic components in that aircraft it would be useless and it's a ninety million dollar airplane per copy. that is way low is dumping the use of the dollar in its international trade in response to the latest u.s. sanctions which is daniel bushell comments. no muss the learned of the world's top all reserves and else there's no more boy author link in greenbacks. let us be free we will not be anyone's colony again the latest in a no apparently nonstop barrel large of hits to the pin yards of the dollar system the impregnable tender since world war two and guess who's currency correct is the

ousting it for. after trump threatened anyone dealing with iran brussels drops a bombshell on its old us charm in iran trade e.u. simply ditching the dollar deal member state will set up a legal entity to facilitate legitimate financial transactions with iran and this will allow european companies to continue to trade we had done in accordance with european union low and could be open to other partners in the world. russia's backing brussels for them a pittance already talking dollar trade with major allies adding washington is just shot itself in the foot actually americans get but there are american partners in making a colossal strategic mistake undermining the credibility of the dollar as a universal and essentially the only reserve currency undermining trust in it they can sing the branch they're sitting on this is

a typical mistake of any empire when people think that nothing will happen they believe that everything is so powerful so strong so stable that they will be no negative consequences but you know they will come sooner or later but the hardest wallop of all may be from america's biggest rival china. beijing shop window now plans an ample dollar free range from old trade in petro you won the online crypto you won the new silk road colossus and beijing's own swift world banking network even u.s. media admit washington's now waging an. one tenth of the world and one in four people on this planet now live on the government's committed to drown dominance mainstream economists pooh pooh any future without a glorious greenback ensuring any smash will only be more shocking.

a senior official in the german defense ministry has been criticized for paying tribute to the nazi general rommel played a leading role in the invasion of france and the north africa campaign in one thousand nine hundred four he was involved in a plot to assassinate hitler and who then was forced to commit suicide a member of the left party in germany told us rommel should never be regarded as a hero he's not a hero because he had some military success in africa that's not the reason his character. was the character of a nazi and that the. in the last six months he got a distance and i think we should approach that kind of distance today that some people let's leave the right. and all that right people and the nazis too and come to the brokers of discourse. peter

towers a tweet was condemned by the leading left wing politician petra powell who described rommel as a war criminal her green party colleague echoed that view saying brummels crimes in italy should never be forgotten in an interview defended his tweet saying the nazi general repeatedly disregarded criminal orders and heroically plotted against hitler. remarks by the outgoing u.s. ambassador to the u.n. during a meeting of conservatives have been leaked nikki haley's cleaned of it she was initially offered the post of secretary of state for president trying to turn it down as she didn't feel qualified and she felt much the same about her position of the u.n. i thought the job should go to someone who didn't have the same learning curve i don't draw honestly i don't even know what the un does nikki haley's do

to quit her role as the envoy to the u.n. in january we heard from journalist max blumenthal who was at the closed door meeting where he was speaking. she revealed that her learning curve was too steep to be secretary of state something we all knew because she had just been governor of south carolina before and had a foreign policy experience limited to having lunch at the international house of pancakes maybe she was playing to the crowd but i think you know in a setting like that where she thinks that there is no media present doesn't know that there's a journalist there i think her comments should be taken very seriously and received as her most canned some of her most candid remarks today. donald trump obviously was not basing his decision to ask nikki haley to be u.n. ambassador on her experience but more on her profile he wanted to diversify his

cabinet probably people within the pro israel lobby who are pushing trump's transition team to appoint her so that they could make sure that the u.s. would represent israel's interests at the u.n. and that's exactly what happened. nikki haley during the meeting with the council for national policy boasted of how tough the trumpet ministration was on russia. boasted that the trumpet ministration had expelled over one hundred diplomats that the trumpet ministration had imposed harsh sanctions that it wrecked russia's economy. the mayor of the italian city of lodhi has ordered all migrant families to provide documents on their financial status including property they own in their home countries failure to comply could result in the loss of social benefits. in.

the states we're in the same room but we have to say in the back corner. if there are people who have money houses or land in their home countries why should we give them services for free while italians before everything enough the gravy train is finished this is not racism it's justice and good sense. once you go to sleep i don't have answers for my son what should i say we as foreigners have to produce these documents. one of my classmates said she wants to send which with us. you are. going to build the very best simply misunderstood it should be forbidden to impede integration of kids with others it's

a pity very town children who've lost the opportunity to interact with other cultures so therefore the release him a quick look i completely agree with the man's decision because all those foreigners have from what is in their countries of origin. to get to this enough. the mears measure isn't fair it's just because they might have property abroad doesn't mean they're rich here. maracas another issue could easily get the peepers through the concert was a good show nevertheless kids still have to be respected more than a dose of. a very large majority of migrants actually are it migrants so they do not qualify for refugee status and in that case you know most of these children as a result of that come from families who have taken

a risk and who have put their families at risk and their children at risk just to take advantage of a system that is really fair has been put in place by italian families over generations so it's not about excluding them but asking them to pay it to to follow the same laws that apply to thai and families it's nothing else than that so if anything it's about equality not discrimination. or the desire for male be back of the top the hour with more news you're watching our two international. prosecution will need to become almost in place sure the fault is all. over you question the threat of fines somebody no longer seemed to i mean yeah i mean i mean

documents related to a two thousand and sixteen case and were first reported by the wall street journal facebook acknowledged over two years ago that statistics on average viewing time for video ads were inaccurate but said the flaw figures were a simple mistake oh had to be now armed with new evidence from tens of thousands of pages of internal facebook communications obtained during the pretrial discovery process the advertisers say facebook knowingly deceived them the updated suit now alleges quote facebook engineers knew exactly how the company was calculating its average is but did nothing about it for over. every year facebook ignored reports from advertisers of average results caused by facebook's method of calculation. and u.s. and e.u. diplomats have reached an impasse on the trade talks the two sides reported earlier out of sync on how fast the talks should proceed with the u.s. .
