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 mosco it follows the u.s. justice department finding criminal charges against a russian woman for allegedly orchestrating a social media campaign to interfere in the congressional poll reporting to new york caleb maupin. the u.s. department of justice has indicted a woman who is forty four years old accountant living in st petersburg now she is the first person to be indicted and it is alleged that she was meddling in the 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
7:20 am
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 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 bots and
7:21 am
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 in the bob mueller 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 eighteen elections which have not yet taken place which are coming up in november the complaint says there was probable cause to believe that the individual in question was conspiring to undermine the u.s. democratic system and also detail that the so-called troll five true she allegedly we're told didn't support a single candidate but posted content in favor of both democrats and republicans the social media accounts contributed to discussions on a wide variety of really controversial topics including immigration gun control and race relations executive director ron paul peace institute told us he believes the charges raise worrying implications for freedom of speech now. is it illegal for
7:22 am
other people to even write or comment about internal american affairs i thought that's what democracy less what a free debate of ideas was about it was about we don't have freedom of speech to talk about the weather we have freedom of speech to talk about very difficult issues and part of accuracy is so weak that even bringing up these issues can undermine the faith and democracy then our problem is a lot more serious than a couple of russians taking out facebook ads think at this point it's less about russians i think it's about criminalizing dissent in america was 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've banned so i think the russian bogeyman is out there to provide for the elimination of any political dissent where

they're left or right libertarian progressive in america that's the real target. next seems it's in order to clean your room pay the bills and look at just some of the strict new rules being imposed on to his son while he's a living guest of the ecuadorian embassy in london but they would be leagues founder says those rules violate his human rights so he's going to sue the ecuadorian government which has been sheltering him for the last six years we can leaks has confirmed indeed that a lawyer has filed a case against ecuador shut his internet cutoff several months ago it's been partially restored this week just about it was also blocked meetings between the sangean his lawyers journalists and human rights groups to now he is subjected to what's known as special protocol and some particularly stringent housekeeping.
7:24 am
in the ecuadorian embassy in london since two thousand and twelve when swedish prosecutors filed rape charges against him those charges have been suspended but the whistleblower has been restricted to the embassies for walls in the u.k. in the country and he could still face extradition to the us of a leaking of classified data back into the ten human rights activist peter tatchell thinks the new rules now are designed to encourage him to leave that embassy. the special protocols which are quite extraordinary are directly a response to the pressure that decorah dorian's are facing from the united states all of these rules are arbitrary with no right of appeal during
7:25 am
a sound is an ecuadorian citizen he was dr this is a job he has the rights of a ticker and citizen which includes freedom of expression and freedom of association so quite clearly what ecuador is doing to bring its own 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 jurors sounds 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 during a sound. so the pay for next story to an upmarket british grocery chains apologize for selling a supposedly sexist sandwich waitress is now renaming it after complaints of appeared to be men only snack.
