a plan and they have the a says u.s. military presence is an axe hanging over libya at the drop of a had to they can intervene again trouble is the last time they had a plan it ended in disaster turned libya into a failed state while margaret i think has lost legitimacy to lead and he must leave . we came we saw. that. you would get rid of a dictator you would choose freedom. thank you.

a gateway for migration across the mediterranean from africa generally leading to many people dying in the choppy seas of the mediterranean the current regime in libya is not very popular it is dependent on our militias oftentimes act like gangsters looting and plundering their fellow libyans. less than twenty four hours israelis are said to head to the polls for a general election the main rivals for the prime minister's office are incumbent leader benjamin netanyahu and former chief of stuff for the israeli military benny gantz now you know who who leads the right wing likud party supports free market capitalism a liberal agenda and is opposed to palestinian statehood but his rivals for the blue and white political alliance want dialogue with the palestinians they also want to limit along a prime minister stays in the job to a maximum of three terms it's not sure relations also proved to be key for israel's

electorate to next started caleb maupin explains how the trump alliance might influence future elections. donald trump and benjamin netanyahu seem to be scratching each other's backs quite a bit lately it's a mutually beneficial relationship in ways that may not be completely obvious whatever political gifts that trump has given to israel lately is not small first move the u.s. embassy to jerusalem for many years we failed to acknowledge the obvious the plain reality that israel's capital is jerusalem then the usa quit the un human rights council citing an alleged anti israeli bias such a council in fact damages the cause of human rights and then of course there is the matter of the chronic bias against israel since its creation the council was adopted more resolutions condemning israel against the rest of the world combined then just before the israeli elections donald trump recognized israel's claim over

the occupied golan heights captured from syria almost five decades ago i will sign a presidential proclamation recognizing israel's. over the golan heights. folks will recall that obama refused to meet with netanyahu prior to elections citing it as improper meddling as a matter of longstanding practice in principle would not see has of states or candidates in close proximity to their elections as to avoid the appearance of influence in a democratic election in a foreign country however trump does not share obama's reservations so what is in it for the donald is he just an enthusiastic israel supporter well donald trump has gotten election coming up too and he needs to secure votes in twenty twenty israel is a good way to win support from american jews who are not his biggest fans according to a number of polls but most especially the christian evangelicals the jukes of this

movement encourages jewish people to leave the democrat policy total disarray. suspect republicans are waiting with open arms remember jerusalem u.s. embassy and the horrible iran nuclear deal mike pence an evangelical himself seems to pretty well articulate this trend in how american christians feel about the middle east in the story of the jews we've. always seen the story of america. my country's very first settlers also saw themselves as pilgrims sent by providence . to build a new promised land now political criticism of trump and bebe's political bromance seems to have been muted however a few voices have chimed in for example bernie sanders president trumps extremely on why is the solution to recognize drew slim as the capital of israel why recognizing only its importance to israel president trump has severely on the mind

the peace process i am very concerned about the policy of the trump administration regarding the two state solution and a few noted intellectuals we see in israeli private investigations for going after the person reputations of people behind the iran do there are new array of actors here that the american public didn't know about and this is all going to figure in the next election. israeli intervention in u.s. elections fosli overwhelms anything the russians may have done a common trope among donald trump's critics is to accuse him of being a hateful populist brewing in an atmosphere similar to one nine hundred thirty s. germany and it seems that the white house has determined that the best way to counter that narrative is to scream we love israel at the top of their lungs u.s. and israel have always had a special relationship and a very strong relationship probably the strongest relationship of any united states ally is with israel so the fact that americans see benjamin it and you know as

as a important figure and they see the israel relationship as important that might influence some voters to vote for president trump at the same time israelis view america in the highest the seam and the highest regard and they very much rely on the united states and president trump is very popular so the fact that president trump has visited here the fact that president trump has moved the embassy to jerusalem the fact that president trump has canceled the iranian nuclear agreement the fact that president trump has recognized the golan heights and just the fact that president likes to tweet positive support for israel and for it it's a you know can be significant in people deciding who they're going to vote for in israel. two chinese students in the u.s. are accused of cheating tech company apple out of hundreds of thousands of dollars

they were reportedly shipping counterfeit i phones to the u.s. their money is to swap them for original ones under warranty.

coming up. thank you thank you. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or somehow want to.

have to go right to be precise this is what before three of them all can't be good . interested always in the waters about how. they see it. as we continue to grow online with our online identities and personas you will continue to see this mixture of physical crime and internet crime and the two will melt to a point where they're almost indistinguishable if you can't really distinguish them but all. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to us of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then.

how to handle foreign fighters returning home after joining islamic state has stumped the g seven gathering in france the group for the world's most advanced countries fail to hammer out a joint position on the issue one side the united states is calling on european countries to take but their citizens some states including france with a very different view. people who went to the zones in order to fight must be sentenced over there and other issues children and it's true that five children have been brought back to france the orphans were abandoned will be studying the situation of children on a case by case basis. commission claims some five thousand europeans join deisel between twenty eleven to sixteen the u.k. france germany and belgium are most affected with ice a largely defeated the many of those who swore loyalty to the caliphate in their aggressive their actions artie's rightly video agency heard from some of these former militants direct. the.

common sense. when we first arrived to islamic states everything was very new for us adapting to an arabic country with this houses apartments cars food weather bombings dead people dead children we saw everything during this time it was difficult to get used to it and that time one didn't understand much a month from the first life in morocco was very normal but during this time i began to see things things the highest did that i wasn't convinced were primitive and islam blowing yourself up so that you can take your enemies with you into death killing civilians who live in france or america that drove. some mission circut i want to just after approximately three months of working at the police station in iraq a separated from this after this i tried again and again to flee territory but it

never worked out for various reasons because our trying to get out of dry ash several times that was why i was twice in a prison many executions took place you just couldn't believe many were arrested and killed they told us that our wives would be great that we would be killed that we would be beaten we wouldn't get any food will be sold to the iraqi government or to the syrian regime. conservationist what if germany doesn't accept me then i would try to work here and to help in terms of phantom terror organizations my three children would take to france for me personally it would of course be better if they lived in germany with my mother i am of course one hundred percent against islamic state and as i said it might be the biggest mistake of my life that we emigrated in finland and get a gun from coming in for lies a mistake that we made absolutely cannot be undone unfortunately we will. be punished for the mistake that we made we deserved to be punished.

as facebook continues its crusade against fake news web security research has now revealed the social media has failed to contain cyber crime on its platform they claim dozens of so-called cyber criminal flea markets operate openly trading stolen credit card data hiking tools. don't culture investigates. zuckerberg is certainly trying hard to repair his image after a year of facebook cyber scandals recently the company has once again proudly announced its trashed thousands of pages connected to countries like iran and russia and all the while other activities often criminal have flown right under facebook's radar take this latest report by cyber security firm cisco tallow it claims to have uncovered seventy four groups in which over three hundred eighty thousand people have been trading stolen bank and credit information the firm calls

these groups criminal flea markets not only that but many of them said scam and hacker write in the name the researchers say these groups avoid detection because facebook apparently expects them to police themselves so far facebook has apparently relied on these communities to police themselves as a consequence of this a substantial number of cyber scammers have continued to proliferate and profit from illegal activities so how does such a blatant violations of facebook's policies continue to go undetected well they say they just need to be a bit more vigilant these groups violated our policies against spam and financial fraud and we removed them we know we need to be more vigilant and we're investing heavily to fight this type of activity vigilance is certainly needed especially when facebook has failed to stop actual abuses of its platform last november a south sudanese girl was bought through. facebook posts for ten thousand dollars

several cars and a few hundred couse admins took down the posts when they found out about them but that was after she was already sold so you'd think it's zuckerberg would get the hint that forced marriages might be a problem on his platform but new cases have surfaced as two nigerian girls were sold again with facebook as the medium of transaction so facebook has been having a hard time stopping forced marriages but they sure have done a good job curbing what they call fake news and the news that turns out to be fake mostly happens to challenge mainstream narratives of world events instead of child slavery and online scams it's iran venezuela and of course russian bots the picture becomes a lot clearer when priorities are understood facebook is facing a perfect storm where it's under pressure from all sides spoke of finally understood that self moderation and self regulation hasn't worked and that's a regulation is required from the industry in the governments need to start to step

up to take a role in defining what those regulations are going to be it has a number of human monitors that are seeking to moderate the platform and a lot of its content but they're never going to be able to cope with the sheer volume of content that we see on not only facebook many of the other social network platforms illegal credit cards are being offered on line child brides all sorts of things there are many other forms of traffic and content that we really don't want to see and therefore they also need to be cracking down on illegal activity some of the. meantime sides who lose what we're talking negative stuff on the web a tip off for you a man who was once america's most wanted criminals. and become a security expert is now a brit johnson he sure is with us his tips on how to stay secure on the web on our . what i try to tell people to do is to make sure you're not the low hanging fruit

and the way to do that is first to freeze your credit all right and not just freeze your credit of you but every single person in the house because children are the number one victims of identity theft you can use a child's information to create entirely new identities so freeze the credit of everyone in the house monitor every single account you've got and what i mean by that is bank accounts e-mail accounts credit cards everything monitor everything place. on every single account as well that way if a thief does have your information and they try to charge your credit card you get an alert to your phone that says hey something's going on so those are two things the third thing is to use a password manager we as humans we simply do not know how to best pick a secure password so we tend to use the exact same passwords across multiple websites it's important that we don't do that. yeah i mean that's just a snapshot he had so much more insider information to tell sophia as well if want

i think more to gain is an outstanding person because he took on the most powerful agency in county or you'll be to stay if you look at it from the analogy. marc was the day that when he was five. going to be in the sheriff's most contentious critics say he is the first time i noticed something wasn't right in fleece work pretty much when i first started the corruption in palm beach county is not something that you can smell or thing like that it's a nod and a wink it wasn't what i wanted to do. we've had more in this county then some states have had collectively drug and went to his website began featuring comments about god as family the sheriff by ten men so in your squash you like a bug you know i wish you'd stop then you should say and i'm left with stuff i
