facebook is failing to contain online crime clemmie so-called leave markets trading stolen id credit card details and hacking skills are all in plain sight we've got the story. then good morning at eleven am monday morning here in moscow there's eighth of april my name is kevin o. insults international live the thirty minute update and libya very much back in the news again is where we're starting an update for you to the latest is forty six people now it's gone up fair old amount from both sides have been killed in fighting and scores wounded during the battle for the control of tripoli the fight between the u.s. government on one side of the rival government led by general khalifa haftar really escalated this weekend especially sunday with a focus on the airport there the u.n. earlier called for a cease fire to a vacuum. casualties are civilians but say that fighting continued by the looks of

it violence has been escalating since general have launched a multi target attack last thursday libya's prime ministers accuse the rebel leader of attempting a coup launched a volcano of wrath as it was operation against the militants both sides carrying out air strikes in libya a very divided place let's check the map and remind ourselves where we are so what's going on over the years ever since twenty eleven of the death of moammar gadhafi the country's no split between the u.s. government in tripoli you see that the purple on the map rival government led by general haftar into broke this whole swathe here in red and also there's another area here controlled by various factions as well by the way there's a no fly zone imposed by the general there at the moment over the conflict zone ok as i say there are other militant active groups all way over here as well now the international community is deeply concerned about what's been happening this flare up over the weekend including the united states have temporarily withdrawn their

forces from the ground saying the situation is simply too dangerous and unpredictable now washington is urging as well that the rebels immediately halt the military action against the government saying a political solution is the only way to solve the crisis a monk shift in the white house's position than eight years ago you may recall. from our graphic has lost legitimacy to lead and he must lead. we came we sat there and he died. in the wild you would get rid of a dictator you would choose freedom. thank you. our senior correspondent more goes deal with picks up more of the story in detail for you this morning. the un e.u.

backed regime in libya the government of national accord or g n a is fighting for its very life all but surrounded now by the army of their rival government in red here led by general hafta disapprobation is aimed against all groups considered by the international community to be terrorists we have security council resolutions according to which these organizations are classified as terrorist groups where this military escalation came as a complete surprise to us it began with warmongering rhetoric from hafter which were the throwback to the days of dictatorship and total terror rule general have to up and his libyan national army on a roll storming toward the capital tripoli the desperate g.m.a. have ordered their armies meaning the various islamist and militia groups that supported the counterattack on all fronts they've given this last stand the name

the volcano of rage it's chaos worse both sides a pounding each other with air strikes and the u.n. is panicking. if. and if the heart. be possible. luvvie off from station in and out on tripoli it's entirely possible that things will spiral out of all control the united states for one is already preparing for just that we will continue to monitor conditions on the ground and assess the freeze ability for a renewed u.s. military presence i was appropriate it appears they have a plan and they have the a says u.s. military presence is an x. 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 so here we are one nation two governments and countless fiefdoms guying the militias and sects a grand battle royale with a prize worth fighting for the winner gets one of the biggest oil reserves in the world. so from a store in gerald home believes this situation is a direct consequence of one to actions back in twenty eleven. general how tar will probably ignore the calls for a negotiated political settlement and you may well expect a bloodbath to unfold in tripoli which is quite tragic and quite unfortunate but i'm afraid to say is the inevitable outcome of the ill advised attack by the north atlantic treaty organization speaking of nato led by the united states as

a result of this two thousand and eleven overthrow of mr khadafi in tripoli this is led to libya becoming 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. today in less than twenty four hours no israelis are set 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 staff of the israeli military benny gantz netanyahu who leads the right wing likud party supports free market capitalism a liberal agenda and is opposed to palestinian statehood on the other hand his

rivals from the blue and white political alliance want dialogue with the palestinians they also want to limit how long a prime minister stays in the job to a maximum of three terms international relations also proved to be key for israel's electorate seems kellam open next this morning 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 is about to 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

got an 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 democratic policy to destroy. spect republicans are waiting with open arms remember jerusalem u.s. embassy and the horrible iran you could 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 b.b.'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 slum 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 us 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 esteem 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 that and 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 hundreds of thousands of dollars they were reportedly shipping counterfeit i phones to the u.s. and then apparently monies to swap them for original ones under warranty.

they've mastered us with over one trillion dollars of debt more than ten white collar. eighty five percent of global wealth he longs to be. eight percent world market. percentage some with four hundred to five hundred first took it personally and that we rose to twenty thousand. china's building two point one billion dollars a year doesn't work but don't let the numbers over. the only number you need remember one one is that you know forward to miss the one and only boom but.

again for me kevin over here in moscow this is our international next that how to handle foreign fighters returning our after joining islamic state has stumped a g seven gathering in france the group the world's most advanced countries failed to hammer out a joint position on the issue on one side there's the united states calling on european countries to take back their citizens on the other some states including france in a very different view. people who went to the zones in order to fight must be sentenced over that and other issues children and it's true that five children have been brought back to france the orphans are abandoned will be studying the situation of children on a case by case basis. the commission claims some five thousand europeans join deisel between twenty eleven to sixteen the u.k.

france germany and belgium are all among the most affected countries and with us allies who defeated now many of those who originally swore loyalty to the caliphate and their regretting their actions. video agency direct from some of these militants. the. that's what i thought a common sense. when we first arrived to islamic states everything was very new for us adapting to an arabic country with its houses apartments cars food weather bombings dead people dead children who saw everything going 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 permitted on the 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 to cut i want to just after approximately three months of working at the police station in rock a separated from us after this i tried again and again to flee territory but it never worked out for various reasons because our we're trying to get out of dry ash several times that was why i was twice in 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 or if germany doesn't accept me then i would try to work here and to help in terms of fantasy terror organizations my three children were taken 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 the islamic state and as i said it might be the biggest mistake of my life that we emigrated in finland and get a gun coming in from by that 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 revealed the social media giant has failed to contain cyber crime on its platform in fact they claim dozens of so-called cyber criminal flea markets operate openly trading stolen credit card data hacking tools and spam lists don't court has got the story this monday. zuckerberg is certainly trying hard to repair his image after a year of facebook cyber scandals recently the company has once again proudly announced it's 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 cows admins took down the posts when they found out about them but that was after she was already sold so you'd think zuckerberg would get the hint that forced marriages might be a problem on his platform but new cases have surfaced as to 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 show. 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 a form of regulation is required from the industry and 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 contents 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 online 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 of some of their platforms. to pull for you if interested in the interested in this but

we're talking about negative stuff on the web one man who was once america's most wanted cyber criminal no turn the other way to digital security experts call brett johnson he speaks to us and shares his tips on how to stay secure is vital on the web on r.t. sophia and. and 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 a lurch 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. you know here it sounds obvious but well good guy bad guy rough it and good their wealth information from the inside of one of the most sophia and co on next with the full program for the lesser up of the world news from moscow this relates monday the eighth of april morning it's just coming up to eleven twenty four moscow time kevin i would say and have a great day. breaks

it countdown. lenell it so seems wrong. why don't we all just don't. mean that he's yet to see a pallet these days to come atika. and in. a close betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground. join me every thursday on the alex simon sure and i'll be speaking to guest on the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. bests drugs were at her cocaine as were four bucks for dia under thirty to

wisconsin cure me after we arrived. the nikken are when your dish your tribunals take house of cards out to the crash site and asked us to events we wanted to go on a helicopter with our supplies to the crash site house and question walk to us about all the points you've been on all these covert white army corps and he would course angry because he had been abandoned by the reagan administration he was basically a covert operator mercenary he would proud of. his capture would reveal a complex web of covert operations run by u.s. colonel oliver north reagan's administration had bypassed congressional control and funded the contra insurgents through drug trafficking and secret arms sales to be ron. paul secret but the house in question down blew it out into the open to make

a mistake it's really hard to tehran sir no and i'm not taking any more french translation it's just a second i'm going to ask a journey general meese to brief you on what we presently know what he has found in the united states why. somebody didn't tell us why. the revelations of the iran contra affair gave new momentum to the work of the peace activists some. evidence showed that the weapons were coming from the largest pentagon arms depot on the west coast california as concord naval. weapon station. and i went out just to check out the situation. and discovered that on one side of the road. were literally hundreds of bloggers with all these weapons. there's a train track from these bunkers that came out and crossed the highway and
