twitter is out as not so can slap ing bans ole over the place ham them the scope of the banning as unclear but such is the means popularity twitter as struggling to keep up medina caution about twitter struggles with its definition of hate speech it seems that it's also failing to keep its notorious russian trolls theory together you're struck me in vogue. 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 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 an type trump account such as these did the plus side to try in becoming more on the hinge by the people of finally realizing the. maybe having a treasonous madman secure predator supremacist in the white house maybe isn't such a good thing repeat 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

a lot of faith has to do it with a kidnapping i mean it's not you know what 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 and it's as you say these midterms. are yet to get another big test of. of the american system at the same time. once again repeating this. story of the interference in the elections so it's a whole new way way for face with many accusations and very little substance obviously we're waiting for the report which will probably come out sometime early next year but the fact that it didn't come out before the midterms even if they had something genuine illusion genuine proof substance to other than these accusations then i would have suggested they would have come out before the midterms. or i to

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 if an e.m.p. went off and and they and they were able to successfully to freeze all electronic components of that aircraft it would be useless and it's a ninety million dollar airplane per copy the united states going a u.n. ambassador how to partly house apartment she's no idea what the united nations did before kicking up the post details of a leaked conversation have emerged we'll tell you all about it so for the break.

a hate crime will be brule wanted to include things like ages him and miss origin e the problem is that talk of expanding a law isn't particularly popular with those that will have to enforce the potential new laws the police u.k. forces a struggling to maintain an effective service battling steep budget cuts and an unprecedented wave of violent crime so should the police be dealing with things like wolf whistling and ages them we want to see what london this the. i think you'd rather than focus on burglaries turn up on facebook i say focus on the areas trying to cut down the crime it's obvious of the police to decide how they spend their results i mean i would like to see more police on the beat on the street but that doesn't seem to be a very high priority at the moment they feel that they're being pulled away from what i think most people regard as bread and butter issues of policing going after

criminals mode goes. out to go after. so-called hate crimes which might be unpleasantly into vigils before which is already an existing. legal remedy under the criminal the government says it's handmade to tackle hate crime because it directly challenges british values that convincing already struggling front line officers to expand what they have to police is going to be tough former metropolitan police officer roger gray thinks there are much more pressing problems that you care thora he's should be tackling. this is not really helping the situation in the country when we've got a knife crime is increasing by ten percent along with other violent crimes this is where our resources should go and stop dealing with peripheral peripheral and politically correct questions and you knew with the the basics of what mike's ass

envoy in january investigative journalist much blumenfeld ones off the closed door meeting where he only 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 is 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 have an up and coming female republican who was
