Vehicles are targeted in lagos has Rights Groups say the number of demonstrators killed by police on tuesday was higher than previously reported. Protesters keep up the pressure on colombias president to resign as thousands marched through the capital bogota. And in some of the clearest language yet the head of the Roman Catholic church says same sex relationships should be protected by law. We begin in the United States where top intelligence Officials Say russia and iran have both detained some Voter Registration information the directors of National Intelligence and the f. B. I. Say theyll be consequences for any Foreign Countries that interfere in the vote lets go straight to mike hanna in washington d. C. Mike so what are we to make of these claims by the f. B. I. In this press conference now significant is the timing of all of this mike. But it was certainly a very dramatic News Conference hosted by the director of National Intelligence along with the director of the f. B. I. Intelligence sources for a long period of time have been warning that russia is involving itself in the us electoral process just as it did back in 2016 when President Trump won the election however on this particular occasion though both the director of National Intelligence and the director of the f. B. I. Insisting that iran is playing a major role in this interference as well alleging that iranian agents had been sending emails to Democratic Party supporters with the aim of undercutting President Trump and for mentoring social dischord this is what the director of National Intelligence has to say. We have identified that 2 foreign actors iran and russia have taken specific actions to influence Public Opinion relating to our elections 1st we have confirmed that some Voter Registration information has been obtained by iran and separately by russia this data can be used by foreign actors to attempt to communicate false information to registered voters that they hope will cause confusion so chaos and undermine your confidence in american democracy. Now all this information comes as something of a Health WarningPresident Trump has continually insisted there was no russian interference in the election in which he won and says that claims of russian interference in this current electoral process are indeed a hoax well thats now been denied by both his director of National Intelligence and his f. B. I. Chief however critics of these 2 have contended that they are attempting to downplay the role played by russia allegedly in accordance with the wishes of President Trump nonetheless both intelligence chiefs are absolutely adamant that the American Public have nothing to fear this is in terms of a warning should they receive disturbing emails both are adamant that the electoral process will not be affected in any negative way or to mike hanna live for us there in washington d. C. Mike thank you for joining us now from boston is glen karl who served 23 years in the Central Intelligence agency he was a former deputy National Intelligence officer for Trans National threats game great to have you with us here why this sudden press conference by the f. B. I. And director of National Intelligence i mean to my mind there was no rock solid evidence so whats actually going on here. Well i think that there from you know of course im sitting here and not in cia headquarters anymore but from what i can discern there is concrete evidence now and there are apparently have been several dozen at least if not more emails that were forwarded to intelligence and Law Enforcement authorities in the various media now of regular citizens with threatening. Threatening emails from austin simply the problem which is a White Supremacist Group that. Donald trump actually had nice things to say about in the debate here couple weeks ago so i think there is evidence whats going on however are several levels from the level of foreign intelligence activities against the United States i think we have caught the iranians doing things and as the director National Television said and the Intelligence Community of you know us and said for years the russians are substantially more active even doing this sort of thing what is this sort of thing its these are operations to do so. Apprehension i distrust american electorate above the american electoral process that makes our democracy less stable which is in irans in the u. S. Interest again it is it is what it is worth pointing out that John Ratcliffe is a former republican congressman and the democrats have already accused him of selectively declassifying intelligence in the run up to the election to help from scam pains some observers say look radcliffe is just a political hack whos doing Donald Trumps bidding. Well thats exactly the point where i was going to and you have summarized it quite accurately when you when you listen carefully to how the record presented the information he said. This information was this operation that we have stopped was intended to discredit donald trump that is completely wrong thats the exact opposite of what is going on the 1st met a jet of the arena and the russians is what i said which is to undermine american democracy so that we are not functioning and no longer of an effective rival or check on their their own operations and 2nd thing going to do its donald trump in radcliff muddy the waters on and on just the point you are making glenn that iran is being accused of sending these spoof emails to intimidate voters but they are already accusations and this is the point that you are making that this is all about turning attention away from russia and pointing the finger at iran and actually russia poses much more of a broader threat. Abse absolutely thats absolutely the case you know the iranians are no were saints and they are doing nasty things and they do not have american interests in mind no one has american interests in mind except United States of course but the russians are exponentially greater and more sophisticated threat then around in this case both are probably acting i would not be shocked if we were to find eventually that the iranian operation actually made have been a russian one as a false flag to mislead the attention i do not know that thats all right how things frequently. Let me get a final thought from you i mean meddling by far not in the u. S. Election is nothing new it was of course a huge issue in the 2016 election if this is true from what the f. B. I. Is saying now what impact then is it likely to have on the 2020 vote with less than 2 weeks to go well im im concerned actually that although we have known that this is gone on before it has continued since 2016 and in particular for this election that the effects have already had substantial impact the operations americans are more concerned about the effectiveness and the legitimacy of our election of our system of government over a National Security establishment so they have succeeded in our continuing to work at that this is a very large ming but not surprised you can call great to get your thoughts as always thank you for talking to us is there.
