breaking international law. and. read nonstop. here in the russian capital you're watching our international. the u.s. government has authorized migration officials to use fake social media accounts this is to monitor people seeking to enter the country. purge online networks solve such false profiles exploits. 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 use its 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 e.f. is insufficient to deter 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 for an investigation has concluded ward unaided 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 or 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 29000 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 pages groups and accounts my instinct is to applaud the village him some of your security teams and credit you with taking the problem very seriously 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 whistleblower and former cia officer john kiriakou since the new policies could push social media users to switch from american by stunts to better protected networks this is an old trick used by local police departments to infiltrate a protest group. to see what opponents of the police are doing is something that's been adopted now as a harassment technique by immigration services here this is american exceptionalism isn't it it's ok for the united states because we're the good guys it's not ok for anybody else because they're not the good guys this catches up after a while and this is going to make friends and foes alike angry and think twice about u.s. policy specially as it comes to immigration i would point to platforms or organizations

that are that are hosted overseas that are encrypted that are better protected things like proton through example. that that the united states doesn't have to reach into there is no backdoor there is no secret handshake with the c.e.o. of the company and the cia or n.s.a. or f.b.i. i hope that people do get tired of this and look elsewhere outside of facebook and twitter and instagram for some personal protection. filters of germany parties celebrating a local election break through intimidation movement came 2nd in state elections in brandenburg and saxony significantly increasing their influence in those polled once was those results were some of the best for the party since it was formed 56 years ago the ruling christian democrats said that they will not work with the f.d.a.

the trial of a has more from berlin. also from brandenburg it was a win for the social democrats in a campaign that they were neck and neck with a.f. they threw out the alternative for germany picking up around 23 percent of the vote there with as 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 policy 2720. 8 percent for alternative for germany in saxony could end up rising as high as 30 big gains for them there and it is the 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. me let me just see it is clear these 2 elections have had only one winner the dean 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 games but. 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 journey were founded as the 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 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 alternatives to germany that means you probably looking at at least a 3 party coalition in both states a well quite confluences 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. we got the fees of both the left party and the f.t. on those results you can be very powerful even many on a position and especially when you have a weak governments against you and what we see and sex on even just a most important east german federal state and there we have a christian democrat party that at least used to be quite conservative and we have greens that are a lefty for greens so now they have to to build a coalition or do they don't fit together at all so we've all had

a weak government we've all seen the party members of both the greens and the christian democrats are very on a happy about that so at a new government will be very unstable and we're very strong and we are together and united and when you are a strong opposition force and you have been in stable government then you can kind of reach a lot so i guess it's a mistake that you have to be part of a government to change a country you can change it by good position by good media and by good arguments and add all those to tossed for us in the next years do you has an agenda and really that is based on it will centric nationalism militarism will elect a new liberalism as well as racism exclusion interests onto morals success of the years for you but it's also really going to be governments this happens on the fundamental of the last 30 years of german politics 30 years of your liberalism

this is politics destroyed that humans fundament at least of the german society and the left. didn't find the clue to really criticize the call to teach which is conducted in the moment consequently there is a problem and it's a problem as well to my mind the journey they are. doing very well inside. forward to schools this which feeds the ideology of the as long as that happen. not be easy to have to change their all qualities. 2 days a vigils of being held for the most deadly terrorist attack in russia's history $334.00 people were killed mostly children during a siege in which more than a 1000 people were taken hostage at a school in the north are set in town of beslan warning you may find these following images disturbing.

experiences of those who were here is truly horrific as people inside began to faint doctor help whoever she could the terrorists gave her notes with their demands to pass on to authorities they threatened to kill her son if she made a wrong move if stanley is the subsidy here. i said i'm a doctor so they took me to the corridor to give 1st aid to someone who wanted terrorists in the gymnasium it was very hard to breathe most of the kids were running a fever in thinking they told the adults not to faint or they risk being killed as a terrorist didn't want any burden i asked him 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 they'd kill both of us immediately. the rooster 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 place that was quite well known it nice depth of being and we are protected by international humanitarian law when if you are a peg person and by international law many go in your the question of why you lesion are your child is really at the full ground to have a definitive conclusion you need only need to get that on the stand what the motivation what because she knew the measures that were taken by. a decent very tragic incident that has killed a very very high number of people. the explosion in the afghan capital kabul has killed at least 5 civilians according to local officials up to 50 others were injured and they blast destroyed several buildings in couples green village compound which is home to international organizations the taliban has claimed responsibility this happened just hours after the u.s.

special envoy to afghanistan announced a draft peace deal with the militant group. the plan was finalized of the 9 rounds of talks under the agreement the pentagon would leave the country or militants would pledge to play no role in international terrorism as landless shabbir razvi thinks that the us president has a strong personal interest in making the deal work. this whole sort of so-called war on terror has been going on for 18 yes and i think it should be correctly dubbed as war off terror taliban are really bidding to have more power and therefore they're flexing their muscles to show that they really are forced to reckon with effectively the taliban has really run circles around the u.s. forces the ally is that it went into one of the stand or wait in years ago and

most of the other partners with us here have really withdrawn or not really effectively contributing anything it's really us a who has continues to have any presence and now that they're deciding that enough is enough with elections round the corner in the usa in 2020 and perhaps mr trump also wants to sort of portray it to his base that he is what he probably is that he doesn't want to have foreign adventures there for complete withdrawal from a one star and maybe in his favor for that particular purpose this is our international thanks for staying with us this evening updates coming your way at the top of the hour. the continuing brags that saga is boris johnson
