i know he could he was it is just really good to me to be. an investigative documentary. the russian woman is charged in the u.s. for allegedly trying to meddle in the upcoming midterm elections via social media. funerals are held in crimea as some of the twenty people shot dead by a student at a technical college survive this recall the tragic day. yesterday separately but on the beach. still following. the release of a hardline muslim cleric in the u.k. sparks outrage and gentiles and he was jailed for supporting islamic state of just half of this sentence.

the. latest protest in gaza leaves scores of injured as israeli so. it's midnight and you're watching international live from our moscow studio with mean a day or two to a very warm welcome to the program the u.s. justice department has filed criminal charges against a russian national for allegedly trying to meddle in next month's midterm elections while we're going to cross live now to. more pin in new york for more details could you tell us more about about this case and how it fits into the broader u.s. allegations against russia. well this is the first person who's been charged for allegedly nettle ing in the upcoming midterm congressional elections in

the united states now the person named by the u.s. department of justice and charged is a forty four year old accountant living in st petersburg she is charged with essential that the crime named is conspiracy to defraud the united states she's charged with a charge of allegedly purchasing millions of dollars of media ads and web postings quote intended to sow division and discord in the united states political system now it's interesting back in july we heard from the director of the f.b.i. christopher ray and he said that there was no evidence of russia planning to interfere in any way in the twenty eight hundred midterms this is the f.b.i. director speaking back in july we haven't yet seen an effort to target specific election infrastructure this time we're not seeing anything anywhere remotely close to sixteen. when i look back at sixteen i think based on the access

they had they had no access to vote vote tabulation machines so they could actually technically manipulate the vote. now at this point if you read the criminal complaint that was released it's very vague in its language it doesn't talk about any attempt to influence voting machines or voting registration or voter records it simply says that there was social media activity quote intended to sow division and discord in the u.s. political system that is a very very vague allegation now it comes on the back of twitter releasing a collection of what it's claiming are trolls by russian by russian actors russian trolls or these are tweets released by alleged russian trolls now the report itself from twitter admits that these trolls influence was completely negligible i mean it was just just a very small amount of influence that they had and that they were going after both trump and hillary clinton during the twenty sixteen election so the allegation that there was some sort of russian conspiracy to get donald trump elected doesn't seem

to explain why these trolls were going after donald trump and helping hillary clinton it just doesn't exactly add up that's not the only thing that doesn't add up now if you if you read the allegation i'm a sensually there is an allegation that there was a troll farmer an institute run by a russian businessman who was close to putin they're calling it the internet research agency well if you look at the complaint that was just released today this woman in question is associated with a completely different business a completely different entity but the complaint seems to allege that this separate entity that she's associated with is the exact same as this internet research agency that was named in previous indictments regarding the two thousand and sixteen election that's even more interesting because this is a private firm this is a private company and as as you know you know the russian government is separate from a private company so the idea that you can blame the russian government the kremlin

for the actions of a private company that link isn't exactly being made either and you can. down the line there's a lot of things that don't exactly add up now this woman has been charged interestingly we have heard from u.s. president donald trump and he said that the woman in question was in no way associated with his campaign now she was named in previous indictments related to allegations regarding the twenty sixteen election now she is the first person to be charged for alleged meddling in the upcoming twenty eighteen mid-term congressional elections. kind of giving us an update on the latest revelation thanks very much kate and reporting from new york. three days of mourning of being held in high minute for the victims of wednesday's college massacre the student killed twenty people before turning the gun on himself our senior correspondent mike shuster after the city of cambridge where a public ceremony for the victims is being held. thousands and thousands of

locals of turned up for this ceremony a final chance to say goodbye farewell to all those whose lives were cut short in this horrific massacre and just the stress most of the victims were teenagers aged sixteen to nineteen making their last so much more cute so much more painful as a lot of grief here people as well as top officials the governor to offer words of support to the families understand one bulleted felt so aggrieved so poorly that she needed medical attention a little earlier but the governor and others wish them strength to deal with this tragic loss nevertheless hoops and prayers here with those still in hospitals many people fighting for their lives in critical condition on life support battling

severe injuries as i reported earlier there was nothing spontaneous about this massacre it was cold calculated and preplanned. but. it was here on the thirteenth of october that vladislav surkov the suspected shooter begad to turn his plaid for mass murder into reality here we should have means with that is that the community the community game you probably you can actually. hear you but i will put it. really to put on colombia navy ship with one hundred and fifty shotgun shells were only for the second part of his atrocity. four days later he waited until his mother left this house dressed in black and carrying a bag of ammo rusnak of left for college on the other side of town. first

he detonated an improvised explosive device. to put up with a second on us to stop and it threw the bomb filled as it was with lethal shrapnel was set and treated in the cafeteria on the full us through exactly at lunchtime when it would be packed with faculty and students. these was no crime of passion these was planned with cold calculation given the efforts needed to learn how to and to actually build a bomb with a time a detonator the aim was clear to kill and maim as many as possible as quickly as possible in the ensuing chaos. as panic and

confusion took hold the gunman began his killing spree he started on the second floor making his way downstairs to the devastated cafeteria killing anyone he met stuff with students. a few. more shots more victims she was pretty cute. instructional symbol i mean but little do tend to tell but there most of them teenagers they tried to run to hide they did desperate things such. as an eula. the mushy ideas now you. can argue his rampage last a just fifty minutes before he killed himself in the library on the second floor fifteen minutes but his victims are in the hundreds for every child left dead

a family was torn apart for every teacher killed generations of graduates left. their friends their teachers neighbors and countryman all shocked and hurt. since the early hours of the morning they've come here bringing more and more and more flowers candles toys in tears mourning a loss of tragedy that they can scarce comprehend what's worse a tragedy apparently without cause or reason. the gunman was an eighteen year old student at the college we spent about his childhood. in business. school.

no. room in the good to new to boost the new cookie for truly to see no one. really good over the stove or you mustn't who'd use a nym of those who got you and some of the you know to which you choose rewards you do know your. investigators are still examining the crime scene disturbing pictures show of blood stained walls and furniture and wrecked classrooms and these are metal fragments from move from one female victims putting nails and bolts are packed into the homemade bomb set off from openly by the killer in the college canteen many of those hit by the blast suffered life changing injuries. meanwhile some of the survivors have been describing the horror of that day.

yes i did several sort of well most of them would sit down one. month on the beach and the urge to. cross the bali falls but take those chances give them up and give the was given to me for you both to fill my church. but then there was this little hut the much bought. me a couple of other shit to me a. suitable got a sudden and two of the much don't fold it doesn't seem to be a. hundred dollars for some tough skin of course

a bit of mystery was moved to the surface because of the stuff that is a sort of food for the facility in the nuclear plant. this is pretty much in the moment it's critical in his adoption so you want to talk before they can still move more. into you do want to show me to them is also a good school. but when you know your school last book in a mobile first person becomes a living on people. or is called all school. callers which are cooked in order to hold them all not there's a sword in which you push on no additional. goal it almost falls under what's most all good it still distorts an opportunity to.

an extremist cleric has been released from prison in the u.k. sparking a public anger story animal still to come. i believe that north korea will be ready to nuclearize very soon there could be will

say that i mean greenman about some of the nuclear weapons and materials to be taken to russia and disposed off there and then on the basis of mutual trust the united states and russia could help north korea in the energy sector for example build a gas pipeline that's going to reorder trucks. like the pipeline there's outrage in the u.k. after a radical muslim cleric accused of inspiring terror attacks was let out of prison early. details. anjem choudary was reportedly taken to this probation house in london the notorious radical preacher was released out of jail having served just half of his five and

a half year sentence following being sent to jail back in twenty sixteen for encouraging people to join isis now the british prime minister theresa may has said the authorities are well prepared for this development on the question of anjem choudary obviously an extremist picture he pledged his allegiance to die ash he was convicted of infighting support for them and that if and when any terrorist offender is released. well rehearsed plans are put in place to keep the public safe and the police say prisons that probation service and other agencies have a range of powers available to them the fifty one year old father of five who once led an extremist group that was bound under terrorist laws in the u.k. is going to be serving the rest of his time within the community on license he's going to be monitored by the m i five the police as well as other agencies now he's not exactly free and is going to be staying at the probation house under several conditions those include not being able to preach or attend certain mosques he will

only be able to communicate with people that authorities have allowed him to communicate with he will have one telephone his internet use will be supervised as well as his travels limited he will not be able to leave the u.k. now the place where he's reportedly now going to be staying is on the same street as the school and we've been gauging some opinions from locals about this here whether he says it the other end of the country i'd rather you didn't say it is a bad influence he's nasty he's evil he's negative he's maligned there's nothing nice to say. maybe if you go to a country where jihadism is more accepted but not here it's the wrong place for him if you consider me the student in this country the reported cost of the security operation to have him be out of jail is said to be at a whopping two million pounds a year compared to the fifty thousand pounds a year it would have cost to keep him in jail reaction to this was also very swift

to follow it's crazy to put the public in danger and spend two million pounds a year monitoring extremist anjem choudary we could be following australia's lead to keep him locked up the extensive list of constraints on un jim choudhry is welcome that said the fact that he's being released at all and that's imposing these constraints will cost the taxpayer two million pounds per annum is a bore and those argue mother was. are almost as dangerous as here's the release of anjem choudary who claims some of those citizens of foreignness in their own home is a threat to our security is betraying all of us and we need to defend all communities in our nation we need a new treason act indeed this could be seen as a concerning development chattery did not himself organize any terrorist attacks nonetheless he is seen as one of the most dangerous radicalized there is in the u.k. reporting from london understands the church for r.t. british media commentator nail one is things to add three is too dangerous to be

released. if they believe he is this potentially dangerous if the reports are true that we've all read in the papers of people saying if anything he's got more radical in jail since he's been inside why on earth are they releasing him if this was a man who. was a rapist something which he fully approved for isis anybody who wasn't one of their followers believed his mom was a rapist and he was saying i'm going to write pursuers i get out would they allow him out this guy has inspired attack after attack after attack dreadful atrocities on the streets of britain and yet we're letting him out of jail. one palestinian official and several other people have been injured during a protest in the west bank israeli officers were seen using force against the demonstrators. but.

locals are opposing plans to demolish their village around fifty two families have rejected an offer to relocate to another area israel says the village was built illegally and dangerously close to the highway. meanwhile on the gaza border thousands attended a weekly march against the israeli occupation local journalists you're not outside has moved from the scene. today marks the thirtieth friday in the great march every terry as we can see hundreds of palestinian protesters have gathered here as usual to protest today palestinian protesters have started burning tires in an attempt to block the vision on the israeli snipers the vision in front of these relief forces or these really snipers is almost totally blocked but yet they are firing live ammunition and gas canisters at the palestinian protesters gathering there as we

can see the israeli forces are firing gas canisters on the palestinian protesters. there are a number of injuries that had been taken by paramedics to the ambulances as you can see in the area it's full of protesters from all sectors men women and children. we have paramedics we have a lot of press we have also palestinian volunteers who have come here in order to save the other protesters we have seven injuries four shot for life shooting until now people are chalking because of old a gas that has been fired and then you have another injury i know there injury. in the eye. another injury in the i. mean. as you can see if there are still a number of injuries that are coming in every now and then.

meanwhile the israeli military says it was forced to respond on friday off to terrorists in gaza or several in sundry buildings into israel. a former long serving f.b.i. agent who worked in the u.s. state of minnesota has created guilty to leaking classified information to the media oxys daniel can speak up the story. a veteran of the agency an impeccable service record three years from retirement now charged tried and found guilty for whistle blowing the only black asian to the f.b.i. as minneapolis field office to a real war he grew uneasy over his seventeen year career he says he saw discrimination racial profiling rule bending and abuse of power by the agency he felt the public needed to know i truly wanted to make a difference and never intended to put anyone in danger the f.b.i. and court saw things differently tried under the espionage act he was branded

a traitor who put national security at risk he isn't the first whistleblower to face the wrath of or thirty's edward snowden chelsea manning two of the best known in recent years but this case was slightly different terry allbery was charged with the leak of just two documents to the media and retaining another focusing on methods used by the f.b.i. supporters claim the only damage caused was not to national security but the egos of all thorough. the u.s. attorney general has made things clear amongst the crackdown on leaks and whistleblowers the risk of exposing perceived wrongdoing and injustice is higher than ever we are conducting perhaps the most aggressive campaign against leaks in department history crimes like the one committed by the defendant in this case will not be tolerated they will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law and punished and it seems for now whatever the motive alleged racism or spying

lawbreaking or corruption whistleblowers call bori will face the tough choice of trusting their conscience or risking everything. would go to. the bottom line. or wrong or buying another or ripping were regularly. going on and any boob. certain thing was a little bit harsh for what what what actually transpired i mean look look at what had happened to very few your people. call me for one another many other people to your level of permission to the press that are highly classified. potentially. potentially and there and that is a concern but i don't really have the stream of government made it out to be.

wiki leaks founder julian assange is suing the government of ecuador the country that has been sheltering him at its london embassy for the last six years claims his rights are being violated wiki leaks has confirmed that a lawyer has filed the case in ecuador this comes after internet access was cut off for several months and this week he was given a list of rules to uphold while he's living in the embassy the requirements are listed in a ten page memo embassy officials can refuse visitors without explanation he would have to pay for his own health care assault is barred from engaging in political activities or interfering in foreign affairs and there are a number of house rules to adhere to if also if assad wants to continue living in the embassy.

has been in the ecuadorian embassy in london since twenty twelve when three dish prosecutors filed charges against him those charges have been suspended but the whistleblower has been restricted to the embassies in the u.k. after he skipped bail in the country and he could still face extradition to the u.s. over leaking troves of classified data parking twenty ten human rights activist peter tatchell thinks that the rules for a sonnet are designed to encourage him to leave the embassy the special protocols which are quite extraordinary are directly a response to the pressure that are facing from the united states all of these

rules are arbitrary with no rights of appeal drew a sound is an ecuadorian citizen he was drugged this is a job he has the rights of a citizen which includes freedom of expression and freedom of association so quite clearly what ecuador is doing to the green zone is in violation of its own laws and own constitution this kind of restriction is enough to drive someone to a mental breakdown and perhaps that is the intention to make life so on bearable for during the zones that he will voluntarily decide to leave that's the way i think most people including people in the human rights community are reading it this is basically an ultimatum to julius. that you can check us out on our website that sati dot com friend of ostorius i'll be back at the top of the hour with more headlines but first

a on mountains national politics. the gruesome plot thickens the saudis now admits he died in their custody after interrogation they went wrong turkish media claim they have evidence of intentional murder nonetheless trump declares he's not going to walk away from saudi arabia will there ever be justice for jamal khashoggi. the grim reaper of the bond market has appeared with this with this guy a stocking up the global bond market he's got all. this obama apocalypse it's a tsunami that paper and it's. going to be the greatest financial collapse ever. is donald trump providing cover for the saudi government over

a former staffer to senate majority leader bill frist who gave those it will start with you the administration says it is not providing cover for the saudi government over this mess what do you make of it well look we have to remember that the president it's a businessman and i think it's looking at the bottom line and the fact of the matter is that anything any possible things that he does with saudis you know it could affect. their bottom line it can affect them it can affect the country economically and i'm referring to to selling weapons to to saudi arabia so now you know whether it's a cover up or not it's hard to tell at this point but what he should have done though it instead of trying to throw excuses on twitter he should have said the united states is going to get involved in this investigation.
