to believe me or they'll go be amazed at what i should be i said but in my sin as i believe i see this book way dish unconditionally botany but anybody. on the hill i stated 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. given that it was about. the freedom. to talk when a cyclone asked to talk about it. but there's still a. bit. of how common.

election. or force. remember those big bad russian trolls you've heard about for what feels like years now who are alleged to have up and that the us presidential election the so-called troll factory a secretive technology firm that created and distributed both fake news and divisive stories and pose 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 believe were run by stud trolls and if you like us find the data more than a bit difficult to interpret we're 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
10:11 pm
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 will be 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
10:12 pm
becoming more on the hinge but the people are finally realizing the. maybe having a treasonous madman secure predator white supremacist in the white house maybe isn't such a good thing if you think that drill donald trump is the worst president america ever had he's not worthy to be called a human being according to the report such a 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 getting to the white house and the trolls were also found to have push anti russian stances 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 this output of the internet
10:13 pm
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 completely 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 it is to do it with a 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 where. 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 the service personnel believe such
10:14 pm
a conflict is somewhat or very likely from five percent last year. and members of the armed forces were also asked to rank of the top dangers facing in the u.s. of the top of the list were cyber terrorism along with russia and china former pentagon official michael maloof believes 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 i mean if if an e.m.p. went off and and they 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. a senior official in the german defense ministry has been criticized for paying tribute to the nazi general rommel 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 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 then he. in the last six months he got a distance and i think we should approach that kind of distance
10:16 pm
today that some people leave the right. and le pen and all that right people and the nazis too and come to the brokers of discourse. peter toppers tweet was condemned by the leading left wing politician petra pyle who described rommel as a war criminal her green party colleague echoed that view saying rommel's crimes in italy should never be forgotten in an interview tavor defended his tweet saying the nazi general repeatedly disregarded criminal orders and heroically plotted against hitler. left party member deter them again thinks such ideas would not prove so popular if leftists on the better way to engage with the public. on the weekend there were over. two hundred thousand people demonstrating against rasmussen and i think it's
10:17 pm
a good sign that on the same weekend thousands and thousands also demonstrating on. targets that the left lost some people who were earning lower than two thousand or rule a month who are very poor who do not know what will happen tomorrow and i think rich should. have learned again to speak in their language and to think with their sorrows. remarks a by the outgoing u.s. ambassador to the un during a meeting of conservatives have been leaked nikki haley claimed she was initially offered the post of secretary of state by president trump but turned it down as she didn't feel qualified and she felt much the same about her position at the un. i thought the job should go to someone who didn't have the same learning curve i thought drawn honestly i don't even know what the un does. it hayley is due to
10:18 pm
quit her role as the envoy to the un in january we heard from journalist max blumenthal who was at the closed door meeting where he every 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 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 to date. 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
10:19 pm
cabinet have an up and coming female republican who was a minority she's of indian descent 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 trump administration had expelled over one hundred diplomats that the trump administration had imposed harsh sanctions that had wrecked russia's economy and she boasted of arms sales to the ukrainian military and she said the obama administration can't even hold a candle to us on russia and this earned her lots of applause. the president

spoke on thursday at the annual valdai discussion club held this year in sochi aside from global issues there was some time for humor. just in the financial markets as the organizers proposed but i hope it's not going to be four or five times longer than usual because there is no maybe someone doesn't know it will be interested so the question is how do you relax i just don't get nervous. because i think someone here will argue with you later because the perception is that russia makes. me want to do it and let's don't know how much time are we going to sit here we have one very humble media but if it provokes such halt burn and fear of influencing mines that means we've won the contest. to come one of you is not enough of a more nationalist round east yes around one hundred forty six million we have the you mentioned the chinese. piece but the wind doesn't allow for the weather is

10:23 pm
i don't have anything to say about that well we know what they could have discussed they could have gotten to the bottom of whether or not jamal khashoggi was indeed killed tortured and then dismembered as the consul watched as reports seem to indicate however it seems that they focused rather on what seemed to be almost perfect about the u.s. saudi relationship we have lots of important relationships and then to relationships between us saudi companies government relationship things we work on together all across the world the efforts to reduce the risk to the united states of america from the world's largest state sponsor of terror ron those are elements of u.s. national policy that are for our in americans best interests. if you don't treat. them as if you. hold on.
10:24 pm
to. you. now my pompei as comments referred to saudi arabia as a purchaser of american goods primarily military hardware and he seemed to talk about saudi arabia as an ally against what he sees as the primary source of evil in the region iran now this is not so much different from what we heard from mike pompei i was boss of the u.s. president and saudi arabia has been a very important ally of ours in the middle east and we are stopping the rain and trying to stop was stopping over everyone a big step for we took away that ridiculous deal that was very by the previous administration and they are an ally we have a very good allies in the middle east but if you look at saudi arabia they're an ally of tremendous purchaser donald trump's comments come as there is a huge amount of pressure mounting on the administration in response to outrage about the shoji incident president trump as. criticizing the condemnation of saudi

arabia or in the case of missing journalist jamal khashoggi residence stunning statement as three sources tell c.n.n. that a high ranking officer with the saudi intelligence agency oversaw the saudis are now claiming was an interrogation and he wanted to a building a never came out of the building what are we talking about in the building was saudi if he's dead said republican senator marco rubio today the u.s. must respond or it risks its own standing the administration assures us that saudi arabia will get to the bottom of what actually took place eventually we're going to give them the space to complete their investigations of this incident when they issue their report for our judgment about their next step and the decisions they make about accountability connected to this so the world just needs to sit back and have faith in the kingdom of saudi arabia. who commentator john white believes that whatever facts come to light the u.s. will refuse to take any real action against the subways. the sooty government
10:26 pm
enjoys an unassailable position of influence when it comes to washington and london and other western allies who rely on saudi arabia to buy their weapons that they sell them by the billion dollars worth on a regular basis and washington is weighted itself to the saudis as part of its axis of germany when it comes to for maintaining germany in the middle east and it has nothing to do with truth and justice is everything to do with geopolitics and the unfortunate events are to please their souls but it a few months ago have been used as a p text to carry out further attacks on russia which has been designated the enemy of the movement in western capitals so this is less to do with truth and justice is everything to do with geopolitics and the drive for a germany which drives the foreign policy of western capitals. the mayor of

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 the system that is really there 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 tie in families it's nothing else than that so if anything it's about equality not discrimination. around sixty thousand taxi drivers have rallied in the south korean capital against the launch of a new ride sharing app the government has given the green light to
