u.s. immigration officials have been granted permission to use fake social media and people seeking to enter the country flying in the face of death to read online networks of fathers. i. also to come the alternative for germany party celebrates to this best local election result she. kept coming 2nd. under vigil commemorating the victims the most deadly terror attack in northern russian history enters its 2nd day relatives of the victims and survivors share that painful memories of the militants 50 years ago. troops are.

also after nearly a. century the. thing with international now the u.s. department of homeland security has authorized migration officials to use fake social media accounts to monitor people seeking to enter the country but it does fly in the face of efforts to purge online networks of false pride file says don't quarter explain. fake social media accounts the latest weapon in homeland security's arsenal the department's updated guidelines have officially made cyber disguises fair game for its agents the fraud detection and national security directorate is updating this privacy impact assessment to provide notice that

officers may use fictitious accounts or identities on social media platforms to protect national security public safety or to combat immigration fraud homeland security claims these fake accounts could be used to clean up the process of legal immigration detecting fraud finding weak spots and immigrations vetting system and conducting background checks are all listed as areas that could be improved and although communicating with other users is forbidden there's still one problem with the idea fake accounts used for surveillance violate the usage terms of both facebook and twitter it is against their policies to use fake persona and to use twitter down or for persistent surveillance of individuals who look forward to understanding u.s. c.i.s. proposed practices to determine whether they are consistent with the terms of service and might be against company policy but this isn't even a 1st for u.s. law enforcement earlier this year police stations the d.n.a. and ice work s'posed all for using fake profiles isis facebook personas were even

connected to a fake university created to entrap illegal immigrants looking to study their as they were exposed to facebook moved to delete those accounts. law enforcement authorities like everyone else are required to use their real names and facebook and we make this policy clear in our public facing law enforcement guidelines speech overrating fake accounts is not allowed and we swiftly act on any violating accounts but an internet privacy watchdog says the social media giant isn't doing enough facebook's practice of taking down these individual accounts when they learn about them from the press or from a f f is insufficient to what we believe is a much larger iceberg beneath the surface we often only discover the existence of law enforcement fake profiles months if not years after an investigation has concluded facebook no they obviously they don't care about anything they only care about making more money and and blocking people who are doing good things i mean

they abuse people's private information it's built into their system and they don't want to do anything about it until someone holds them to account so thankfully the guardian pointed this out and then they they blocked it but how many things did the guardian not see and there are just literally thousands and thousands of these things that are out there ordinated in authentic behavior is what facebook terms fake profile activity and since the 2016 election the company has been on an all out crusade against it i think to city matters because people need to trust that the content they are seeing is valid and they need to trust the connections they make we're identifying and challenging 8 to 10000000 suspicious accounts every week we're also going to require people running large pages with large audiences the united states to go through an authorization process and confirm their identity over 2000000000 accounts were deleted in the 1st quarter of 2019 alone with fingers

pointed at russia 1st and then iran and china later on and all the while congress has been spurring on the assault your companies announced a series of successful disruptions. that resulted in the removal of speed use groups and accounts my instinct is to apply. diligence of your security teams and credit you with taking the problem. social media giants might find it easy to declare war on an authentic activity it thinks might be going on abroad but when they know that their own government is itself using underhanded tactics to advance its agenda who knows if the same standards will apply what we asked facebook and twitter for their reaction to this story although so far we haven't received a reply. the alternative for germany or a party celebrating today because the anti immigration euro skeptics came 2nd in state elections in brandenburg in saxony yesterday significantly increasing their

influence in those parliaments peter all of a has this report from berlin. well starts off in brandenburg it was a win for the social democrats in a campaign that they were neck and neck with a.f.p. throughout the alternative for germany picking up around 23 percent of the vote there with the social democrats winning on 25 percent in saxony we saw massive gains for alternative for germany it wasn't enough for them to win the state that went to the christian democratic union angle merkel's party 2728 percent for alternative for germany in saxony could end up rising as high as 30 big gains for them there and certainly big smiles from the leadership of the alternative for germany party they were saying that these results show that a de just a flush upon that they are a big part of the german political stage right now and it is

a sensational results we have achieved the best result in local elections ever and we can see that 30 years after the fall of the wall governments don't want to be left wing need the it. is. the fight is not over the fight starts now we've become much stronger no one can remove us from germany politics anymore we're staying. with german politics is quite keen on a bit of self reflection a bit of navel gazing and what we've seen from other politicians who have been looking at these results from alternative for germany and they're not happy about the role they've played in allowing a.f.d. to make such big gains. i am happy that we have a really good result what worries me is a result in this means we continue to face big challenges in this country. we all hope for more and wished for more and i'm also disappointed like many others are disappointed no question i as the lead candidate also share responsibility for this

result alternative a journey were founded as a. anti euro euro skeptic party back in 2013 but it was following the influx of refugees and migrants into germany in 2016 that they started to pick up a lot of points a lot of votes in the east of the country in fact in the state of saxony there is also the city of came that switch last year saw well violent scenes after a 35 year old german man was stabbed to death there a 23 year old syrian asylum applicant was sentenced to jail for manslaughter just last month but what that what that killing resulted in was really an outpouring of far right nationalist at times neo nazi anti immigration crowds on the streets at times turned violent the police were really struggling to keeping control that's an area where this picked up a lot of support the big problem is going to come now is how they're going to form

some form of coalition in these 2 states because the major parties the established parties i guess you could call them now both states have said they will not work with alternative for germany that means you probably looking at at least a 3 party coalition in both states a well quite convoluted coalition a real broad church is going to have to be put in there because of the large chunk the large proportion of the votes that alternative for germany have picked up in both the states of brandenburg and saxony here in germany. was a hamburg m.p. for the left party which didn't do you say well he told us the f.t. de is riding on the back of false promises. so very negative to have a look at madden savory and development as well the part here as an agenda that is based on ethnocentric nationalism militarism. we're losing as well as reese's exclusion and resulting roles shouldn't get watered like this year if he

pretends to do something for those who are under. the party program and the politics of that. elite air and follow the interest of the privileged president allotment in the last 30 years where the e.c.u. the s.p.d. the green party and the liberals they destroy the woman as fundamental of the german society with the new liberal politic already our rule should be true consequently and really consequently bring out and analyze what new liberalism does to people then we have to bring forward in the idea of perfect 2 for the people instead of trying to get into governance. after 2nd day i think your for the victims of the most deadly terror attack in modern russian history is being held 334 people were killed and i think children during a siege in which over 1000 people were taken hostage at

a school in the north and better. most hostages were kept in this room the sports hall beslan is a small town a close knit community you'd be hard pressed to find anyone in this room that had lost someone or knew someone who had. the good would you be every year we come here to the school and the cemetery to the cemetery every month even my sister in law is buried there with her 2 kids and it's always sad when vigils unite people in mourning what happened here is hard to forget but life goes

on it. what's left of the whole you know it's everybody here police and soldiers who try to save their kid medics who run into the fire to evacuate the wounded parents and teachers who stayed with their kids and people's hostages. the walls here were lined with flowers soft toys of course the photographs of those who died also bottles of drink symbolic as the terrorists had denied any food or water to the hostages for the 3 days of the siege by the time i had a chance to escape many were too dehydrated and weak to move hearing the experiences of those who were here is truly heroic as people inside began to faint dr lisa moments of our help to have a she could the terrorists gave her notes with their demands to pass on to authorities they threatened to kill his son if she made a wrong move if stanley is the subsidy and i said i'm

a doctor so they took me to the corridor to give 1st aid to someone who wanted terrorist. in the gymnasium it was very hard to breathe most of the kids were running a fever and. they told the adults not to faint or they risk being killed as a terrorist didn't want any burden i asked them to let me go and i had to carry a message for them they let me come to the school entrance they were holding my son saying if i went out of the door that killed both of us immediately. there is a story isn't the only miracle escape that day alina was 9 when she was seized along with her family she turned 10 the next day while still a hostage she sees her rescue as a 2nd birthday changing her life forever still to the north but athens of movie. the blast wave knocked me and my brother back to one side an hour and to another after the blast site opened my eyes and saw the special forces soldier screamin anyone still alive get out of here that we went with my browser to the cloakroom

and we heard the special forces soldier say be careful where you fire your kids here and then we went out through the window sometimes when it was my classmates to visit the school for us there is life before and life after 15 years later for many the memories are as warm as ever. some come here seeking answers an explanation of how such a thing could have happened others simply light a candle and share an embrace to get some closure all i you know i think in one fact this can never be forgotten and can never be repeated i know hawkins. the memorial cemetery where victims in attack are buried is known as the city of angels we talk to people there who are paying their respects. to those who are who are drunk will reason most newer versions are morsels of our stories sort of.

for everybody but for millenniums new generation of americans born between 198119068 could be fatal to meet dakota lilting he's a senior at new school university entering his final semester this fall once he finishes and graduates he'll be out on his own facing economic circumstances much harsher than previous generations of americans if you look at these problems the fact that it's impacting almost every millennial it's not just a question of someone else it's a you know countrywide and even continent wide problem the conditions that our parents and our grandparents where they had good paying jobs right out of high school didn't even need to go to college get a trade school whatever and have no student debt and still be able to support a family it's just not the case anymore educational debt is a problem for millions of young americans adults ages $22.00 to $38.00 have double the amount of educational debt as gen x. ers the previous generation that came before this might be due to

a 100 percent increase in the cost of college tuition despite the job market benefits of having a degree going down significantly also don't have much in terms of wealth and property net household worth is down 40 percent from the previous generation and 66 percent have no retirement savings less than 37 percent own stocks furthermore the median age of home buyers in the united states has actually risen to 46 because younger americans simply aren't taking out the mortgages and making the down payments people are working for wages people are underemployed people have bachelor's degrees and are working at mcdonald's putting weights on me before i even go out into the economy you know where it influences everything what kind of jobs you look for the job market you're looking into the wages that are being. paid you know it's a lot but you have to think that when you already had $20.00 to $25000.00 worth of stuff. with really nothing tangible besides the promise of a show for it that was economic gap seems to also point to

a widening political gap younger americans seem far more attracted to the left wing figures like bernie sanders and they pay a lot closer attention to issues like income inequality people aren't making enough money if people feel like they're not being represented if people can't get an education without spending enormous amounts of money they're going to vote for you know their interests you know republicans pick a share increase child care more infrastructure spending that will create jobs higher wages now donald trump says the fears about the economy are unfounded he's even said that the usa is having an economic miracle now all americans are nervous but one particular generation that never really recovered from the financial meltdown of 2008 they may not have very many houses cars or stocks but they've got plenty to lose and r.t. new york. a french luxury brand deal has a slight few mid thirty's men starring a guitar wielding johnny depp. depiction of

collaborated to you on the input at the casino group americans for indian opportunity it's not the 1st time though a brand has got into trouble for taking inspiration from other cultures for example vogue was accused of racism when for. it dressed up model karlie kloss with a japanese geisha as a japanese geisha she faced a backlash over its indie turban apparently it failed to respect religious sensitivities and then the designer marc jacobs was criticised for a catwalk show where mostly white models sported dreadlocks conservative commentator chadwick moore says creativity is being stifled. to your head to head at the heritage american actors and they hired a team of consultants who are native americans work so the company was trying to be as sensitive and culturally respectful as possible the company even said

beforehand that this was about connecting with nature and about the natural cutie and for some reason this brand came under attack or culture corp this sort of tells a lot about the nature of our my boss didn't bother to research anything about this campaign they didn't bother to research anything about the word savalas so was means y. old i mean. 3 means natural you know the law has been in control of culture for so long suffocating creativity suffocating a sense of beauty suffocating even with fashion a sense of absurdity you know that a sense of fun and flippancy even snobbishness. and i quote a mother will embrace in hong kong thousands of students of course in classes there on the 1st day of the new school year some city workers were also joining the protest over the weekend there were violent clashes between police and and beijing demonstrators hong kong is now entering its 14th consecutive week of pride. yes and

i'm actually at hand say and you're watching a special edition of going underground from the iranian embassy in london as britain and the united states send their soldiers to the persian gulf and bassa to thank you so much for inviting us into the embassy i'm going to ask you jeremy hunt the british foreign secretary says that he is almost certain donald trump says you saw the boat at night trying to take the mine off and successfully took the mind off the boat and that was exposed what did you make of the video imagery and the pictures we have here proving almost certainly that the iranian government was involved in explosions on tankers in the version gulf they knew themselves that these pictures. don't to prove what they are claiming in fact they or they are saying that we have an assessment but the question is the suspend should be based on facts and evidences these pictures that have been released or very

distorted and you cannot get any conclusion out of it the as your own of would be very delighted to be part of an international investigation that we would in fact professionally. get the matter if in fact considered and to really look at the evidences because we know that they are indonesian they have supposed sophisticated equipment they can have very clear images from what has happened before. or did the fire after the fire and the many incidents that are not clear in these pictures so we would be very much supporting. a neutral and thoughtfully investigation into the issue but as we have said this is unfortunately part of the dirty politics and unfortunately the people who want to drag the united states into a military confrontation are making these kind of assessments to support

a confrontation but let very clear that these are just fabrications well planned standing is an investigation is called for by many countries of the international community including germany and other countries that learn beijing moscow and so on why do you think jeremy hunt the foreign secretary of britain those as it's almost certain and why do you think britain has immediately reacted by sending in royal marines let alone the united states ending a 1000 troops to the persian gulf as you know this week is very crucial in the u.k. domestic policy because they are going to select the prime ministers to some of the issues that or raised here or out of some domestic policy considerations but we as a said we are fully ready to look at the evidences that are provided by the u.s. or by the u.k. .
