holappa was one of finland's leading neo—nazis until turning his back on the movement three years agolainen. given that vehvilainen was an open and committed neo—nazi while living here in his native finland, the big question is how was he able to join the british army in the first place? if we have a person who has a long background with extremist movements, i'm sure some intelligence services may have picked up his name somewhere. vehvilainen tried recruiting fellow soldiers. he boasted in text messages about finding sympathisers. according to holappa, racist groups are actively seeking to infiltrate the army. of course, it is alarming to see a person having these views and having this connection is able to if, i say it like this, walk into the british military. the army said it couldn't tell us how vehvilainen became a soldier. it says it does vet recruits for convictions or links to extremist groups. and has robust measures to ensure those showing extremist views aren't tolerated or permitted to serve. vehvilainen was plotting alongside this man, former aberystwyth university stude

seppo coitus those reindeer are far away in northern finland the breeder watches over hundreds of animals what was once a huge challenge is no longer as hard as it used to be thanks to the latest technology. as a modern end in some thirty years ago you had to follow the older reindeer herders for about five or ten years to learn the landscape the forests and all of the animals habits but nowadays you just pick up your mobile phone with a navigation app and from the first day on you can do it all yourself that that guy took a long gun like the. apart from agriculture and forestry there's not much money to be made in this area but for about fifteen hundred shepherds the reindeer on the basis of life herders the meat milk and fur the animals are herded together for slaughter. since he invested in a g.p.s. collar it's been easier for sept because of so to find his reindeer and all in all sectors of society efficiency is playing a big role it's the same with the reindeer herding we have less workers so the action should get more and more efficient all the time and the network technology also h

last month, i met with the prime minister off finland, as he put it, the fins have been dealing with russian disinformation and misinformation for well over 100 years. but finland is one of the most rye sellingent countries when it comes to countering the threat from the neighbor to the east. i asked why. again, i believe it's partially because of their whole of society approach, relying on a free press that maintains trust through strong, self regulatory mechanisms and high journalistic standards. places a limit on the use of social media platforms, particularly for the very young. they also have a vibrant digital civics initiative, something we desperate lilac. finland's approach also depends on a national leadership that stays true its values, anyone the midst of contested elections and its own brand of partisan politics. here in the united states, it will take all of us, the private sector, the government, including news congress, as well as the american people, to deal with this new and evolving threat. in terms of at the private sector, the imagine are major platform companies
