red square was reopened to world cup fans today.s from around the world were enjoying the famous moscow site and say they felt safe with the presence of heavy security and detectors. red square had been closed since before saturday's taxi crash that injured eight people. the closure of red square in the early days of the world cup was upsetting to many fans and tourist's. global news, 24 hours a day, on air and at tic toc on twitter, powered by more than 2700 journalists and analysts in over 120 countries. i'm mark crumpton. this is bloomberg. shery: geopolitical fights have online.m the ground to our next guest, has spent much of his career as an army officer and later, an fbi agent fighting terrorism. some of it from behind the computer. he became one of the first tuon the alarms on the russian propaganda for the influence of the 2016 election. we welcome clint watts, author of the new book "messing with the enemy, surviving in a social media world of cap -- of hackers, terrace, russians, and fake news." great to have you with us.
