twenty victims of a gunman who opened fire on fellow students out of college in the city of courage but amid the pain stories have emerged of her roic quick thinking actions which prevented more deaths. courage is a quiet place a small seaside town kind of place where the neighborhoods everyone knows everyone it is one of the last places in the world where you would expect a school or college shooting or thought they did but some hatreds evidently buried too deep because i stalk you it's so common music very common tragedy our town is really small everyone knows each other the blast and the
6:14 am
following rampage with catastrophic injury and killing dozens upon dozens. of people sparking panic and histeria as teenagers and staff fled for their lives. in that chaos heroes when they just just my friend meaning fiend was there he helped his friend corner who was injured in the blast he covered him to shield him from the bullets they're both in hospital now has the shrapnel wound and winning team is paralyzed nobody knows whether he will be able to walk again but from the horrors of this massacre some good has emerged selflessness sacrifice courage and bravery when teenagers barely older than children acted as few adults ever cool it got the better of course if you're good at it they had just graduated when this happened these guys were throwing rocks at their attacker they
6:15 am
were trying to distract him because behind his back there were a group of kids mostly girls trying to escape so these guys decided to divert the shooter's attention to help the girls these four boys are dead now which are. seventeen. if you're my cern girl i knew him on the wounded i tried to save her i carried her to the ambulance i left her there and went to help the others i saw a lot of people bleeding land on benches it was awful. about. immutability mines i saw a guy being attacked i try to help him but it was too late then i saw my friend something was wrong with his looks he couldn't walk so i dragged him all the way to the fans. the mushy it is now you will never know every accept heroism and kindness that took place last now in the confusion the adrenaline the modesty and in death but it wasn't just the students it was also
6:16 am
bystanders volunteers and good samaritans. said i work nearby when i heard what happened i came here to help anyone i could see there were people without limbs just lying on the street everyone tried to help more just to get more of. when the wounded began to overwhelm local clinics the medical students jumped in to help. them but when it happened we were at our medical college we were in class when a teacher stormed in and said they need people to help with the injured so we rushed to the hospital we had no time to even put our lab coats on we started to take people out of the ambulances for emergency help people just kept on coming for several hours it's fair to say that when the killer struck the stuff the students were utterly unprepared it's also fair to say that no amount of readiness in the
6:17 am
world would prepare any sort of school for an explosion that size in the cafeteria or mania blitzing through the car doors but even stalled. the confusion the panic the fear there were those who set aside self-preservation in order to help others risking life and limb. once again even in acts of overwhelming evil there is space for good. the u.s. few all to the hype over alleged russian meddling in elections we get into the story on more in ninety seconds.
6:18 am
i did the war planning for the principal force provider command in the united states military order for years i've worked on this region for years i do not understand this saudi arabia is the greatest state sponsor of terrorism in the world still today and yet we call here on that we lie when we say that
6:19 am
we right blatantly lie when we say that and moreover we know we're. ninety minutes into the program welcome the russian foreign ministry is warning that next month's midterm election in the us will be used as a convenient pretext for a smear campaign against moscow it follows the us justice department filing criminal charges against the russian woman for allegedly orchestrating a social media campaign to interfere in the congressional poll reporting from new york. the u.s. department of justice has indicted a woman who is forty four years old an accountant living in st petersburg now she is the first person to be indicted and it is alleged that she was meddling in the
6:20 am
upcoming midterm congressional elections in the united states she's being charged by the u.s. department of justice with conspiracy to defraud the united states it's alleged that she had millions of dollars invested into social media activity that was intended to quote so division and discord in the u.s. political system in july we heard from christopher ray he's the director of the f.b.i. and he says that no evidence of such a plot by russia actually had been discovered so far we haven't yet seen an effort to target specific election infrastructure at this point it's not alleged that any voting machines were targeted it's not alleged any voter registration records or any election infrastructure was in any way targeted now this comes in the aftermath of twitter releasing a collection of tweets it says came from russian trolls and quite a large number of tweets and the report itself actually admits that these tweets their influence was rather negligible they really didn't have much of an impact on
6:21 am
the u.s. election in two thousand and sixteen strangely enough you know these tweets are not only directed against hillary clinton but also directed against donald trump and in fact they were more effective when they were targeting trump so the allegation that there was some sort of russian conspiracy to get donald trump in the white house doesn't exactly add up if that were the case why would these russian votes and trolls be working to hurt donald trump rather than help him and why would they be working for the benefit of hillary clinton she has been named in previous indictments from the u.s. department of justice the bob muller investigation regarding the twenty sixteen election she was named however at this point we're now seeing her named and charged in connection to alleged meddling in the twenty eight thousand elections which have not yet taken place which are coming up in november. killam up and well the complaint say is there was probable cause to believe that the individual in question was conspiring to undermine the u.s.
6:22 am
democratic system it also detail about the so-called troll factory she allegedly worked out all of didn't support a single account of it but posted content in favor of both democrats publicans the social media accounts contributed to discussions on a wide variety of already controversial topics including immigration gun control race relations the executive director of the ron paul piece and she too told us he believes the charges raise worrying implications for freedom of speach. is it illegal for other people to even write or comment about internal american affairs i thought that's what a democracy that's what a free debate of ideas was about was about we don't have freedom of speech to talk about the whether we have freedom of speech or talk about very difficult issues for democracy is so weak that even bringing up these issues can undermine the faith and democracy that our problem is a lot more serious than a couple of russians taking out facebook ads i think at this point it's less about russians i think it's about criminalizing dissent in america was
6:23 am
a massive purged of facebook and twitter websites this past week a very large chunk of them were very reputable alternative media sites that question the state and if you look at facebook statement about why they were banning them they said ok well these are american sites but they're exhibiting behavior reminiscent of the russian sites that we banned so i think the russian bogeyman is out there to provide for the elimination of any political dissent where they're left right libertarian progressive in america that's the real target. brett kavanaugh may have been confirmed as a u.s. supreme court justice but a certain grouping are determined to get their revenge on the divisive figure who was recently involved in a high profile sexual assault court case it seems they're willing to go to some quite good michelin's.
