The riot police had moved in to disperse the thousands of protesters who gathered around the edge of council and government Headquarters Building protesters withdrawing bricks and various devices in behind those barricades at one stage an area called la and thats when the war kind of was 5 and place.

Some former president Robert Mugabe has been buried in his home village all of them but there have been a dispute over where he should be laid to rest the government and wanted the 95 year old buried at the National Cemetery but then backtracked after complaints from his family. The u. S. Special envoy to ukraine has quit after being named in the whistleblower complaint volcker was one of several officials accused of attempting to contain the damage from the phone call between donald trump and ukraines leader the whistleblower accuse the us president of pressure in ukraine to investigate his political rival joe biden focus been asked to give evidence to politicians about that call and with more now from washington d. C. Or President Trump tweeted do nothing democrat savages but this investigation seems to be widening out there are now reports that the president or his staff may have put other conversations into the same secure server as the one between him and the ukraine president selenski these are conversations between President Trump and the saudi royal family and blood emir putin of russia so while the democrats really want to focus on the ukraine and thats been made clear by nancy pelosi the leader of the house that the investigation is getting wider all the time theres also questions about the attorney generals role in this and Rudolph Giuliani the former mayor of new york and personal lawyer to President Trump so the net is somewhat tightening and if you watch President Trump over the last few days and hes talked about this he seems to paraphrase him to be fairly low energy about this because the essential thing to remember is this is an issue that is far more understandable to the American Public that its an issue of quid pro quo did President Trump withhold funds in return for dirt on his political rival that is the question that is now being addressed but as i said the investigation is getting wider and staff at the white house seem to be getting more nervous austria holds early general election on sunday and its likely the center right former leaders Sebastian Kurtz could return to power in may he became the 1st chancellor in austrias modern history to be removed by a no confidence vote with more from vienna when it came. His Peoples Party is riding high in the polls and his message is simple only he is fit to lead his country where a majority of the Previous Parliament had no confidence in him Sebastien Court says he has confidence in the voters how many did. Recently the amount of support for us across austria has been amazing so many people told us they wanted to continue working for austria but just as many people say were going to win it its already decided my friends this election is not yet over. Analysts cortes is attitude has been to try to pit the people against parliament always hovering around a bit because on the on one hand he says im and here we have got a new movement out of an old party on the other hand hes telling everybody that he is the most experienced most senior most long standing member of the government the party that used to work with him and then combined with others to oust him is struggling in the polls the far right Freedom Party was forced from office when video emerged of some of its leaders appearing to advise russians how they could gain influence over austrian politics and the media now its new party leader says he and his colleagues must learn from their mistakes and fight hard for every vote. Yet it is worth it to continue this fight and do everything to get a government again with us in it which is so active so much liked and which does a lot for our country. The center left social democrats face a different fight having voted with the Freedom Party to remove Sebastian Cortes they must reckon with voters angry at being forced into an early election this is not islanders that every vote for sebastian cuts makes a rerun of the ip the coalition more likely after september the 29th and therefore there is only one way to prevent that by voting for us dear friends the social democrats in austria surveys suggest the resurgent green party may do well on sunday and perhaps become a factor in Coalition Forming but as the clock ticks down to when voting starts its clear whos out in front in the Old Parliament mr courts and his party occupied all of these benches in this part of the chamber if the opinion polls are right after sundays general election they might find themselves spinning further over into these benches but will he and his party gain enough seats to put them back into government will find that out on sunday evening dominic cain aljazeera in the austrian parliament.

Several people have died. One Police Station was vandalized by looters and nearly set on fire people could be seen running off with police here things like riot shields body armor and anything else they can perry thank you but those years if the president really loves haiti he should resign he should wait for there to be more looting in the streets for him to resign. With nightfall the streets of the haitian capital have quieted down and the city is now under a sort of selfimposed lockdown haitian president continues to call for a National Dialogue but opposition leaders havent said as demonstrators to continue to protest and continue to pressure the president to resign meaning the unrest in the country is likely to continue when read up in port au prince.

Youre up to date with the headlines here on aljazeera we are back with more right after people in power. In june 26th the u. K. Decided to leave the European Union in the aftermath amid acrimonious debate on the exact terms of britains departure questions surfaced about the legitimacy of the referendum that began it all we asked journalist polish ma to investigate now with the brics it saga still mired in Divisive Political wrangling but showing his report again. Last. October 28th seen hundreds of thousands of protesters marched through Central London one of the biggest demonstrations seen in the u. K. In gives aim to get in the 2nd childs to rethink britains proposed exit from the European Union the only way the couple has to cover their own behinds by giving us a peoples vote so they feel we can actually decide on a. Lot of us think that remaining is a much better idea and trying to reform the European Union make that better broaden running hiding went brits britstown quite. Britains Prime Minister might say the same thing but a truce of my not quitting has meant staying faithful to the small majority that voted to leave the 2 years ago whatever the cost yet what if that vote was tainted what if instead of being a free and fair reflection of the peoples will the brits at referendum was one of the biggest frauds ever perpetrated on british democracy in any other election if fraud of they slava had been uncovered then we have the legislation. Puts aside the results and we have the election again as the deadline for britains exit from the e. U. Draws near there are still too many troubling questions about the vote that breaks it underway about its fairness and its legitimacy about who was behind it who paid for it and the motives of many of those involved. My name is dr paul lashmar im an older and deputy head of journalism at City University of london. Breaks it is a watershed moment for the u. K. Like everyone else my students will be directly affected and look at the mess they could be one of the most important political events of their lives so ive been looking for answers what ive heard is a story so complex and murky it almost defies belief. Thank you it only began in 2030 to placate a wing of his party that had long being antagonistic to the e. U. Prime minister David Cameron was taking the biggest gamble of his career we will give the british people a referendum with a very simple. Choice. Like all ballots in the u. K. The referendum was to be overseen by the electoral commission. Anyone could take part in the public debate the Commission Designated 2 official Campaign Poll gs. One in favor and maybe in the e. U. One for leavin and gave each a fix spending limit of 7000000. 00 pounds. Only british registered donors were allowed to contribute to those campaigns. David cameron became the public face of the pro e. U. Campaign better off we are safer in a reformed European Union vote leave was fronted by the p. M. s cabinet colleagues Boris Johnson and michael gove i think we should take the chance now as a country to take back control of the probe breaks its side have the backing of another Unofficial Campaign leave you its most prominent figure was nigel farrar of the u. K. Independence party but camerons plan backfired because all the odds the u. K. Opted for the exit the u. K. Has voted to leave the European Union. You know history was in the right. The shock on the remains side was profound early hopes of an easy victory dashed how had it gone so horribly wrong. As the postmortems got underway attention began focusing on the role played by social media a powerful tool for sway in Public Opinion to find out more i went to see one of my University Colleagues will be looking at a bracks of debate for a very long time dr marco bastos is a specialist in communications of this is what we call a Network Graph or a plot if he showed me a graph of twitter activity during the referendum strange patterns emerged we noticed a drop in the number of users that we were monitoring it was a significant drop i hadnt seen anything that big up to the point and they turned out that there. He had very much to very much sort of like features thoughts of Computer Generated accounts program to automatically push messages online. Whats happening here is that this box is we tweeting a range of real world users this is a single message in all likelihood that was we tweeted several times by this very same bot marco explained that while boats were used by the remaining campaign it was the leave side that made the most of them they were more for the leave out of the campaign for sure. The figure was of quite clear some of my colleagues have looked into similar data and they have come to the conclusion that these accounts war at least a portion of them were operated by that Research Agency in russia based in some petersburg the internet Research Agency or. Is a troll for an organization created expressly to sow discord in this information on the web it was identified by american intelligence as having played a key role in manipulating the 2016 election of President Donald Trump the no one year to the time it now seems that they are also played a role in bricks it. On the death of a friend we found a marked change in behavior say accounts that had been intimate tweeting brax it suddenly started to. Edinburgh University Research dr clearly well and has examined millions of tweets that were posted prior to the referendum many of them it turns out from the same suspect internet Research Agency accounts the tweets often at the same format which was that hash tag many u. R. L. And they were using that cheap math trending topic so that a lot of people saw them mation and that they were trying to access thats just. What we have here is trolls so its human people writing tweets what they flicked was being. The true scale of the russian twitter activity on breaks it only came to light by accident because the company passed the data to us congressional investigation into the trump election that probe another key social media player facebook was already playing a starring role in this years i covered what is facebook doing to prevent foreign actors from interfering in u. S. Elections one of my greatest regrets in running the company is that we were slow in identifying the russian Information Operations in 2016 and that was a big mistake and it was my mistake and im sorry what no one yet fully understands is the role that facebook may have also played in bricks if the company says it has found almost no evidence of russian interference and repeated that claim in a statement to this program but research was skeptical but facebook is basically a black box so we dont really know whats going on inside facebook. And thats not just facebook thats or the instagram whats in a number of other platforms operated by. The fact that doubts persist is jus in part to the companys connection to another murky affair. In early 20 the Guardian Newspaper revealed that 87000000 personal Facebook Accounts had been illegally harvested by a u. K. Based Strategic Communications business called Cambridge Analytical it worked with the trump president ial campaign and had ties to leave the. An offshoot of a Larger Company called s c l which had an alleged background in military dissin from ation Cambridge Analytic as promised was that it could target people with messages to modify their vote in choices so for a highly new rhotic and conscientious audience youre going to need a message that is rational and fear based or emotionally based the Cambridge Analytical scandal would eventually wind almost 120000000000. 00 off of facebooks market value and raise serious questions about the vulnerability of western democracies to manipulation. To find out more i went to meet the journalist behind the guardians cambridge relative to screw her account walter told me how she 1st began to pull the threads together it started when in order to confirm the data companys links that leave you you she contacted the Campaign Group spokesman and you went more andy right back and he said happy to clarify came originally did you work for us but we never paid them they were happy to do it for free and. Theres definitely Something Interesting here because this looks like a donation to me and donations need to be declared. Champion for art in front of the gold in left and hes the person who took that photo. And in the face of the more hes in one as well the bad boys it breaks it and breaks it he said it was like a petri dish for the charm campaign. You know it was like a test case carols revelations led to the biggest Data Protection investigation ever held on both sides of the atlantic we started a conversation with Mr Zuckerberg he was gentle that it can start to identify mental vulnerabilities in voters and works to exploit them by targeting information designed to activate some of the worst characteristics in people chris wiley a former director of Cambridge Analytic turned whistleblower gave evidence to the u. S. Senate and a British Parliamentary Committee that began taking an interest in the brakes at referendum and fake news which the definition of a conversion was going to say that it had to do these institutions you know she did you could send the aca the referendum might have been different i think it is completely reasonable to say that there could be a difference in the wrestling. You know had there not being in my view. There needs to be a deeper investigation of the of fake accounts and a group of facebook groups being used to propagate information conservative m. P. Damian collins is the chairman of the British Parliamentary Committee without evidence from facebook we feel that we should hear from Mark Zuckerberg because he buys into mr hes the person who decides what happens at facebook there are still big concerns are faced with not done enough to investigate the role of fake accounts theyve not been transparent on the issue of data breaches and user data and they got in the hands of people who shouldnt have it. Fake accounts russian trolls data mine
