the u.s. government allows immigration services to use fake social media accounts to monitor people seeking to enter the country also this out. i. the alternative for germany party celebrates to have his best local election results yet but the anti immigration euro skeptics coming 2nd in both brandenburg and saxony. after 2 days of vigils and commemorations of the most deadly terror attack in modern russian history we speak to survivors and relatives of the victims . and iran's foreign minister tells r.t. why it's vital to save the nuclear deal and stop the us breaking international law . must not give up and part of the united states will break you get to.

read not stop with your. hello you're watching r.t. international i'm rosana loquitur thank you for joining us. the u.s. government has authorized migration officials to use fake social media accounts to monitor people seeking to enter the country this is despite efforts to purge online networks of false profiles as done a quarter explains. 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 data 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 after 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 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 pages groups and accounts my instinct is to applaud the village and 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 kerry accu says the new policies could prove damaging for social media companies this is an old trick used by local police departments to infiltrate protest groups to see what opponents of the police. you're doing it 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 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 for 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. the alternative for germany party celebrating a local election break 3 they hand him a gratian maidment came 2nd in state elections in brandenburg and saxony significantly increasing their influence in those palm and was a bit of those results were some of the best for the policy since it was full just 6 years ago but the ruling christian democrats have said they will melt the f.t. piece for all of the reports from berlin. starts off in brandenburg it was a win for the social democrats in

a campaign that they were neck and neck with 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 angler 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 that's what 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. let me just see it is clear these 2 elections have had only one winner the dean we've seen from other politicians who will be 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. 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'd call them now. in both states have said they will not work with alternatives to germany that means you're

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. well we call that he's a both the left party and the anti 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 don't have a weak government and we've all seen the party members of both the greens and the

christian democrats are very on a happy about that so but 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 toss for us in the next year do you has an agenda and really that is based on well centric nationalism militarism to say a new liberalism as well as racism exclusion interests on to morals success of the use of war you. also have the governments this happens on the fundamental of the last 30 years of german politics 30 years of your liberalism this is politics destroying the humans fundament at least of the german society and the

left. didn't find the coup 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. doing very well inside it and it grew from. it is false this which feeds the ideology of the as long as that. not be easy to have to change their all qualities. in other news this hour 2 days a vigils have been held marking 15 years since the beslan school massacre it was the deadliest terrorist attack in russia's history claiming the lives of 334 people most of whom were children and a warning the might find some of following images of setting.

on the 2nd day more than 20 hostages were released after the former president of russia's republic of english shot convinced the terrorists to less out women with babies we spoke to a girl who was one of the infants allowed to leave and you had to stand by just was not your cup they're going to charged with reform that what was going on yesterday it's now signed is knowledge don't stop at people if it was squashed on the town believe it or not us guys have a ploy to do include. a lot of relief scald or aiming i'm sad that pleasure. of nature shouted out in your skies of it on purpose you.

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 it but life goes on it is. what's left of a hold unites everybody here police and soldiers who tried to save who could medics who ran into the fire to evacuate the wounded parents and teachers who stayed with their kids and pupils and the 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 they had a chance to escape many were to the hydrated and weak to move hearing the 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 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 whilst the last. age she sees her rescue as a 2nd birthday changing her life forever still to the north but all tons of move on

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 went with my browser to the cloak room and we heard the special forces soldiers say be careful where you fire your kids here and then we went out through the window sometimes we need 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 you know if it in one fact this committee will be forgotten and can never be repeated hawkins.

a matter of habit. well you can watch that full interview on artie's worlds apart on tuesday or on our website r.t. dot com for. more than 100 people have been killed by a saudi led air strike on a detention center in yemen according to the red cross the aid group condemned the attack in the southwestern city of durham are as shocking the facility how some $170.00 people and medics have been dispatched to the scene of what is thought to be the deadliest strike on the country this year. the situation both very badly as the 3 been there a few hours after the airstrike bought me a whole lot leaner around being able to support around him or speed. around 50 people have been. told he can see 110 bar and the 10 people who have been.

around 20 people may. be are also lying on the door probable riyadh rejects the accusations and insists that it took all precautions to protect civilians the coalition also claims that the building was not a prison but a storage facility for drones and missiles this is a traditional who thought tactic and a violation of the laws of armed conflict this site was not registered with the united nations and was not on the no strike list the south and i said let me tonight the roar of the coalition warplanes work the residence in the warplanes flew past and drop bombs directly at the building where 170 prisoners were in custody what you are seeing now is a real disaster scene it is a crime against humanity here and civil war pits rebel who thesiger a multinational coalition led by riyadh 4 years of fighting has sparked the world's

worst humanitarian disaster and the head of the amman delegation of the red cross says international law may have been broken. in suburbia big nice big very big came east that we have been visiting where us people would be in close contact with them so it was a place that was quite well known to get a nice break through 3 or protected by international humanitarian law when if you are a peg. by international humanitarian aid all the question of why you lesion of are you chose is really at the full round to have a definite conclusion we need only need to get that on the stand what was the motivation what was the precaution of the measures that were taken by the ball in order to be decent very tragic incident that has killed a very very high number of people. an explosion in the

afghan capital kabul has killed at least 5 civilians according to local officials up to 50 others are injured monday night's blast destroyed several buildings in couple's green village compound which is home to international organizations the taliban has claimed responsibility and this happened just hours after the u.s. special envoy to afghanistan announce a draft peace deal with the militant group. the plan was finalized after 9 rounds of talks and under the agreement the pentagon would leave the country while militants would pledge to play no role in international terrorism political analyst shabbir razvi thinks the us president has a strong person interest in making the deal work. this whole sort of so-called war on terror has been going on for 18 years and i think it should be correctly dubbed as war of 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 us forces the ally is that went into one of the star no way 18 years ago and most of the other partners with us here have really withdrawn or not really effectively contributing anything it's really us see who has continues to have any presence and now that they're deciding that enough is enough with elections round the corner in the us in 2020 and perhaps mr trump also wants to sort of portray to his base that he is what he probably is that he doesn't want to have foreign adventures there for complete withdrawal from the one who may be in his favor for that particular purpose. pink floyd front man roger
