from a night twenty eighth of january life martin to national news h.q. in moscow is kevin within the next thirty minutes and company so the first three here are state of alabama is looking into a discredited pro democratic party operation and whether or not of the legally impact on the senate race there back in twenty seventeen the operation parallel involved more than a thousand fake russian language twitter accounts designed to appear as if they were backing a republican rival the information is concerning the impact it had on the election is something that's significant for us to explore and we'll go from there those behind the alabama scheme were meant to be tracking fake russian accounts but next is caleb maupin reports tonight they in fact created their own. some of the activity pointed to as alleged russian meddling in the united states was actually being carried out by the cyber security form new knowledge that this new knowledge

outfit was carrying out activity designed to look like russian meddling in order to hurt roy moore the republican candidate democrat jones who won the race against roy moore he has come forward and said he supports a federal investigation into these new revelations i'd like to see the federal election commission and the justice department look at these to see if there were any laws being violated and if they would prosecute those responsible linked in's co-founder reid hoffman has come forward and actually apologized to the republican candidate roy moore for the fact that he contributed money to an outfit that apparently worked to discredit roy moore during the election hofmann contributed seven hundred fifty thousand dollars to american engagement technologies of which one hundred thousand dollars went to a cyber security firm known as new knowledge and now new knowledge during the election created over a thousand russian language accounts on twitter and then had those accounts follow roy moore this created then the impression that roy moore was getting russian

support it's no surprise that trump a supporting more they both have a deep love of country the country's russia but still rock critic of good question by jews for you know it's pretty alarming when a guy has slips into fluent russian or speaks fluent russian and it's russian it's everywhere year later it's moving closer to the oval office new knowledge is tied to hamilton sixty eight which is a web site that apparently purports to be tracking the activity of russian bots and trolls on the internet and apparently new knowledge this entity tied with hamilton sixty eight which is widely quoted in u.s. mainstream media the new york times the washington post c.n.n. and other outlets turn to hamilton sixty eight which works with new knowledge in order to report on the activity of russian trolls and bots.

dannette apparently has not chosen to run with this story the revelations were revealed they came out they became public on december nineteenth but it was only on december twenty seventh that c.n.n. chose to report on this this information and only did so after there had been some outcry the daily caller and others had written articles about cnn's ignoring of this story and their reporting on it was very short now we've reached out to c.n.n. to see why they haven't jumped on this story and we are waiting for a response now at this point the twenty seventeen senate scheme just surfaced last

week so we're waiting to see what else will surface american gymnast of windows believes this covert bottle peroration reflect a broader problems of the u.s. electoral system to. dirty tricks are not illegal there. you know they're part of our. corrupt electoral system you can you can lie and you can make up stories so you can live for all of these things are are allowed in u.s. the u.s. electoral system and then what what compounds it and makes it so corrupting is the vast amount of money that can be poured into these campaigns that allows them to pay for this kind of corruption and then on top of that we have a population that. really not capable of critical for it. so people will buy into the stupidest claims about candidates this is going to be

a story of what will be over next week or so particularly the syrian military says government forces have entered the northern city of member age at the request of civilians and kurdish fighters in the area it comes as the kurds try to strengthen the city's defenses amid a potential upcoming turkish offensive and pro considers kurdish fighters to be terrorists is our middle east correspondent paula slayer what we see happening is that the conflict in the northern syrian city of monday's continues to escalate now we are receiving reports from the syrian military that they soldiers have entered the city at the request of the kurdish fighters and civilians who live there and the concern from locals is that they need assistance against a possible upcoming offensive from the turkish side we invited the syrian government which we belong to to send its armed forces to take over these positions and protect man beach and the feet of turkish threats. yeah i mean in response to the request of the population of man beach the syrian government and its armed forces announce it is sending in troops to man page however right now we are

receiving reaction from the turkish side and they say that the claims from the syrian military that they have taken control of the city of members are nothing more than psychological warfare and that the situation at this point in time remains saw some definite now all of this comes as the american president donald trump made the surprise announcement that he was withdrawing american troops from syria of course the americans have been giving a lot of support in the form of weapons and the like to the y.p. who are the syrian kurdish fighters and what we now hear happening is that what this possible upcoming turkish offensive those on the ground many locals fear and feel that they have been betrayed by the americans over the prost couple of years america's best safety and stability for the north of syria this region and north syria entirely are going to be testable lives of people shall flee and terrorism will prevail the american withdrawal will destabilize the security we have had for

a couple of years in this region. the american withdrawal from unleashed by donald trump was disappointing for all to see too as i said allman because residents are afraid that others might come to loot just as it happened during the euro we want to say situation meanwhile the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov on saturday will be meeting with his turkish counterparts to discuss the situation in the region and specifically in syria now lavrov has already commented on the growing tensions and he has said that he feels that the allied forces will need to bear the brunt of the american withdrawal from syria so it seems like washington wants to shift responsibility to its coalition partners in syria and put additional financial burden on its allies in the region now as the situation continues to escalate on the ground we are bracing for potential showdown between the united states and turkey amongst others. he spoke to security and political analyst

someone to share but he believes that the kurdish crisis can only be resolved with a political solution the city an army is you know can be flexible and inflexible at the same time it can be flexible if there is a situation that can create stability there is an agreement to morrow is a decisive day foreign minister lavrov will meet with his counterpart from from turkey it is important to see if agreement can be reached to control the situation if the syrian army is capable i think it is capable but with the backing of the russian army and the iranians to actually control the situation for oil and create you know a certain dialogue. that turkey the kurdish problem there is a kurdish problem in the north part of syria and in the north part of it are going to it's affecting the security in turkey and this matter will have to be resolved it can only be resolved politically that is the position of the foreign minister of russia however you know the turks would have to pay a proper price for their miscalculations by delving into syria and creating this

chaos and contributing to this chaos. so for europe the french to ministries of planning to boost its riot control arsenal purchasing more weapons that fire those rubber bullets there the news of course despite a number of serious injuries among the yellow vest protesters caused by non-lethal ammunition and also numerous warnings to from his rights groups over there use to get reporting from paris tomorrow. well there are lots of dangers from these l b d forty's or more commonly known as flash for weapons that they use to launch things such as tear gas grenades sound grenades and even these rubber bullets and those can all do significant damage if they hit people in those protests people with broken bones fractured teeth bruising internal injuries we even saw a number of crew being injured over the last few weeks of by some of the items that are being shot out of those flash balls but the injuries can be even more serious

and that and for some people they competed life changing around the mike they were going to come are. going to do it. why would the french government want to pull states off still all these flash rules they can as they say launch things such as this the rubber bullets well that's largely due to the protests that we've seen in france over the last few weeks the country has been the gulf by these violent protests for some people describing them as being the poorest royals in half a century. and

they've actually been some specifically into the injuries caused as a result of rubber bullets with many civil liberties groups just saying that they shouldn't be used now a group of u.s. academics published a study in december of last year saying that fifteen percent of people who were injured by rubber bullets specifically actually ended up with permanent injuries with the majority of people moving. seeing their site they said three percent of those injured specifically by rubber bullets actually went on to lose their lives so the question is why is the french government still deciding to go with using the flashbulbs which have been proven in some cases to deadly and still wanting to spend more than two million euros on its version of protecting the state. saying go you learn something new every day next story might be part of the common stereotype that we sometimes hold of terrorists has been challenged by

a study in the united states let me tell you more after nine eleven the so-called average terrorist was often portrayed as being a muslim or of arab descent with arabic often as the language of choice you got the picture in the head of you also there are also commonly thought to have beards adding further to that stereotypical picture but now a study by the global policy think tank the rand corporation has found that the reality of may be rather different and could have some ramifications too they claim that the majority of terrorist recruiting in the us are in cohesion or of african american grown further the study also indicates that young males are more likely to be radicalized but they said those being recruited had nothing distinctive particularly about them and those foreigners come in contrast with the stereotypes we're familiar with and as mentioned just know so shortly professor safe down there believes that therefore has led to some dangerous assumptions along the way. but tribute inc any. any any issue to race basically is intended

primarily to result and blanket condemnation and blanket condemnation of the people of the middle east are up some muslims and or the people of the middle east was actually necessary for the for the us policy in the region although it was from day one understood by most social scientists to be based on a false premise but obviously it was stirring up political strategy and the political strategy required a blanket condemnation and a mass generalization or there not enough data to apply to any person coming from the region or the middle east region north africa and southeast asia and the study that uses race as a primary viable to explain or just default to. find out facts about crime or about terrorism is actually highly misleading let alone actually is a very basis. at least three people have been killed after

a tourist bus hit a roadside bomb near gazer in egypt receiving these pictures the latest in from the scene but show you authorities say the deceased as far as they know so far of vietnam and egypt a dozen other people have been injured chinese nationals the said to be among them blast up very close to the famous pyramids the tourist attraction of course in this town the area on the outskirts of the capital cairo forty still at that scene still early days and a hundred hour or so ago today as they provide more information about what's going on the. past ten moscow time folks watching out international the line from moscow across this festive time if you're celebrating it still to come in the news in the next fifty minutes a so-called golden era in british chinese relations has been put to the test again over a smart phone giant you can guess the name will tell you all about that and more when we come back.

just manufactured to be sentenced to public wealth. when the ruling clusters protect themselves. with the financial merry go round be the one. night we can all middle of the room sick. leave. the real new. kind of financial survival job about money laundering first visit this to us in just a different. oh good this is a good start well we have our three banks all set up here maybe something in your something in america something overseas in the cayman islands it will pull these

banks are complicit in their tough talk or suit isaf to say hey i'm ready to do some serious money laundering ok let's see how we did while we've got a nice luxury watch for max and for stacey old beautiful jewelry and how about. luxury automobile again for max you know what money laundering is highly illegal. much kaiser of course. again this is not international next the british defense minister has voiced his deep concerns about a possible spying threat from the chinese tech giant weiwei it comes amid a confrontation ongoing between the company and the u.k.'s closest ally the united states as police reports. they seemed like the best of friends one side with cash to flash the other keen to court chinese investment you have a golden era of u.k.

china relations and what about the relations between britain and china of very good issues in the past i think we've come to an understanding over. premier li said yesterday this should be an indispensable partnership. we have cemented britain's position as china's best partner in the west with the u.k. playing bragg's it really with brussels trade ties with china seem as important as ever but there's a bone of contention coming between london and beijing or rather a phone of contention we've got to look at what partners such as australia in the us are doing in order to ensure that they have the maximum security of that five g. network and we've got to recognise the fact there's been recently exposed the chinese state does sometimes aren't in the maligned way while our way is one of china's most important tech tops and tablets gadgets that rival apple and samsung

but crucially weiwei also sells some of the communications hardware that allows mobile phone and wireless networks to operate and when the u.s. currently embroiled in a tip for tat trade war with beijing the chinese tech giant has come into the spotlight washington says it's concerned that using weiwei hardware will give beijing the ability to spy on foreign countries and exert too much control over western infrastructure by the way has raised serious concerns among u.s. officials for a potential role in cyber espionage given their reported links to china's state security services and wire way threaten the security of our networks due to their close ties to the chinese government and now the u.s. is. pursuing while ways chief financial officer who was arrested in vancouver at washington's request to now faces extradition to the u.s.

over possible violations of sanctions against iran but the case appears more than a little politicized the u.s. president suggested he might use china's tech princess' as a bargaining chip with beijing if i think it's good for the country if i think it's good for what will be certainly the largest trade deal ever made which is a very important thing which is good for national security i would certainly intervene if i thought it was necessary australia or new zealand have followed the u.s. is lead and banned huawei from providing tech for its five g. rollout citing security risks the u.k. has yet to follow although there are murmurs in that direction what we're witnessing is more kayne of security hope something that can. russia for real other work you know sees itself in a vulnerable position where it doesn't have secure access to this particular market over the margin or been talks in the background between the american state

department and the british foreign office trying to pressure raise or put leverage on the british government to come out and support the years sanctions tree attire for the husband channel but i don't think for one second that britain follow america's foreign policy to dictate to the policy that britain needs for true truth the world after broke so there's little hard evidence of walk away ever having engaged in any spying or handing over of data the company denies any ties to the chinese government beyond paying its taxes for the u.k. following washington's lead and banning way risk souring and up until now fruitful friendship as well as slowing down the rollout of vital new technology for london it will be a tough choice between wa way and the us way. and the then twenty eight saying was a toughie if cryptocurrency but cooling experts called it the year its bubble

bursting from the predicted it's complete demise no less than ninety tell i'm.

calling cause was the first mass decentralized digital currency created to more comfortable conditions for trade and transactions and gained wide popularity but. told us what he expects than from the cryptocurrency of trades are ok right this year. if you look at the big clean you know price bubble as you would say yeah you could say that that maybe is has happened but the user adoption merchant adoption advances in the technology of the block in itself had twenty eight years actually been a really good year for big and maybe again not so much for the price but if you're looking at the technological aspect of the blace an underlining because great year . i think that was more like the mainstream media's portrayal of the big point as like you know the get rich quick aspect of it during the boron of twenty team but i think that's kind of segue to into the mainstream more so moving into the the

interest in the technology like how to block chain work where does the price come from other than speculation the actual technological advancements so i guess for that i could thank the mainstream media. i don't think it's much more of a risk than it was when they incorporated the internet into their business model what i think is it provides in credibility it may overpower any kind of security falls there's a lot of things that happened behind the scenes in banks i think that you know a lot of end users and customers at banks would benefit from banks using open ledgers and giving that you know trust listeners specht of the try when it comes to banking. just don't put more in than you're willing to lose and you don't have to worry too much about trading with emotional money. the device as we head into the new year that was well it's

a must go so far as our thanks as ever for watching i'm kevin i'm from in the rest the day festive greetings if you're celebrating this time of year i'll be back with an update on moving in about thirty minutes while top stories here on out international. will be in la to show last year's does he. she does it with the people most of connoisseur or not all what i mean. the economic. thing.
