While still in afghanistan and after a two year wait he was brought over to the u. K. Under the governments official afghan interpreter scheme do you feel guilty sometimes that you got the visa and abdul didnt know one visa for those who spend time over. Seventy per cent you know your move forward will be by the searching for people. That would. Need before so. If you were. Back in afghanistan abdul was a professional boxer he cant compete in the u. K. Because he doesnt have a work permit but he can still train since i came here he can do nothing to staying at home going out sometimes they keep busy with my trainings google my. If your human being. Told you would be. Sure of a chump change. The word good the world. Should be told me but i have a cold. I love the rugby. A feeling we should lose the people we would trust the rules. And if we. Were made above to your way all abdul can do now is wait for his final appeal against deportation to be considered its by the home Office Problem turf either in afghanistan. Or the same cost there was a big third for me the taliban and have i have a very bad depression day by day my depression is getting worse so im buried about my life but nothing could happen to me pretty boy i see greater manchester. Officially the u. K. Government says it investigates every claim of intimidation and considers all cases on an individual basis. Weve asked for reaction to bury situation from a number of organizations focusing on human rights or not anything but yet when we do well let you know whats said. And to russia sentiments and im going to clocks thats a glimpse into an alleged Kremlin Campaign to influence the twenty sixteen u. S. President ial election is from a database of tweets from supposed moscow accounts released by an American News outlets correspondent been looking over the tweet she joins us again in the studio hi there jacki were going to waltz in these tweets in a moment but why are they being seen as so important well for a while now social media use has been wrapped up into the allegations of russian meddling in the two thousand and sixteen u. S. President ial election scores of those socalled online bots russian bots apparently took to twitter and facebook all over the social media in order to influence potential voters and sway the election in their favor so its suffice to say at this point that u. S. Politicians are more than a little concerned about this idea lets take a listen. The film portals into our Society Russia has harnessed the tremendous and quite frankly to me frightening power of social media sowing discord in the us by inflame passions on a range of divisive issues truly troubling evidence of the scope and reach of rushs interference in our last election i was clearly got the wound up jackie dish the dirt whats in these tweets well not what you might exactly expect these deleted tweets are coming from accounts that are supposedly linked to the kremlin and they were published by a news outlet who got ahold of them through a third party a anonymously so its not exactly clear how they got them but you think that this database would just be chock full of pro trump tweets given that the u. S. Intelligence community believes that putins goal was to get trump to the white house lets take a listen to what the former f. B. I. Director had to say about that. Secretary clinton so much. To flip side effect going was she had a clear preference for the first of running against the person who did so much. And while of course there are a number of tweets on the list that either support trump or specifically against Hillary Clinton the opposite of that is also true you can find in the mix tweets in favor of clinton quoting her speeches encouraging people to vote for her and support for Bernie Sanders the other democratic candidate was also in the mix but that also comes with along with attacks on trump himself so its all a bit of confusion that its all in their their support for all sides while of course there is a lot about trump as well bit of everything is it all about the election no many are completely off topic focusing instead on the hard hitting woes of sleeping in your contacts of the dislike for alarm clocks and because its the internet there was also porn in there as well weve also been told that twitter bots have been used to promote inflammatory tweets to get messages to divide people in the country and yet you can also find among this database tweets that are calling for Peaceful Solutions for unity in the country for finding a way to come together over you know issues like racial tensions in the country or referring to blacks black lives matters protests so its all in there but the real cherry on the top of this whole story is the fact that there are a number of anti russia tweets in this list and a lot of them are really interesting theyre going on about how Russian Hackers were involved in the election how heller warned us against trump russia collusion and how those ties must be investigated lets take a listen to some of the best hits of what they are whether to be found in there. To demand that house jewel be do its job and this to get drawn brushing time is things you cant ignore ration plant as you next. So americans have been so awfully radicalized by groups russian propaganda to electrum perhaps the biggest threat. So there we have tweets talking about russian propaganda. Trumping kremlin puppet and those are supposed to be tweets that are coming from accounts that are linked to the kremlin it just doesnt quite fit together and the internet is of course its just a very divisive place everybody has their opinions and everybody feels free to post them there so this database really just does feel like a roundup of the typical things that you can find on twitter thats around just you can have an opinion on twitter disagree with me all right jack thanks very much for the. A spike in antisemitic attacks in germany has prompted Government Action ill have the details on that for you when we come back. The protocol is hard coded. Told us the world as we know it and those who try to get their way will be destroyed by it but those who want to come on board like a friendly regulator thats ok. A bit wary though you know its the classic Good Cop Bad Cop scenario you know when regular government comes with a gift you have to be a little leery. To unusual teams at this years Winter Olympics one is the united squad from north and south korea competing at one for the first time in twelve years and was widely being seen as a positive sign that relations might be warming between them the other team is a limp athletes from russia known as taking part under a neutral flag after the doping scandal that hit the official team has been out to ask some spectators whether they recognize the rebranding of russias athletes.

Own. Legs some people say a russian animal can make it sound like that theyre the russians theyre Siberian Tiger the fear was. Fear will make it sound like its not really. Gold medal well judging by the first few days of the Winter Olympics the russian fans have chosen to stick to the more traditional chants and symbols. Here we have a train go artsy n. P. R. And sang. Thousands of french football fans rampaged through the spanish capital on wednesday ahead of a European Championship match between perry sasha morrow and rail madrid. The french fans set off flares and fireworks close to their opponents home stadium the match was judged high risk so wide police were mobilized and mounted Police Escorted supporters to the venue and the match ended with a three one win for the home team. Theres concern among the Jewish Community in germany after more than fourteen hundred anti semitic crimes were registered there last year theres also been a wave of anti semitic demonstrations with protesters burning israeli flags and chanting anti jewish slogans. The German Government says it is addressing a problem last month that launched a special commission to monitor anti jewish incidents and it follows years of appeals from the Jewish Community to know when the size of the hate crimes we spoke to a rabbi in berlin who thinks people need to come together if the problems to be defeated. It has to become much clear to people in this country especially to refugees that have recently arrived that we all share it personal responsibility and that it will not be tolerated where the burning of flags of israel whether. Any attack on any community any child in the school will not be tolerated as years zero tolerance policy for antisemitic attacks and that has to be clear it has to be not shoved under the carpet it has to be said loud and clear and then people will realize a recognize that if they want to be part of this country there is also responsibility there is a personal responsibility of civil courage not only not to be revived in any any of any such acts but not but also not to tolerate if you see something Say Something that we all have the personal responsibility to stand up for any minority and of course also for jewish people and jewish institutions.

K. The general election swept ireland in a landslide victory only in the six counties which were to form Northern Ireland and unionism still hold sway after the establishment by treaty of their ideas for the state and the civil war which followed should feel effect to the split into the two parties which were to dominate the politics of ireland for the rest of the century one party which became feeling guilt came from the pro treaty wing of nationalism led by Michael Collins and the public can feel a foil party of him and the really low. Meanwhile shin fein was reduced to a political rump increasingly associate struggle of the ira in Northern Ireland critically as the troubles swept hill a province from latin of sixty nine is unable to move in over some twenty years ago shin fein and the democratic unionists led the party militaries and both sides into a Peace Process which holds to this day graduation fane of eclipse the constitutional nationalist of the s.

Believe it donald youre no officially the leader of shouldnt fear tell me a bit about your own background how you came into politics your double go i am an example and woman alex even and and i came into politics in some ways almost accidentally i came into sort of a pit of political activism and running for elections and so on as a result of my interest in. Domestic politics what was going on in the north it and i too international politics. But i had never planned this as the end point if you like of my my political journey i grew up in dublin i come from what would be considered to be i suppose a typically middle class background i was very lucky ive had good Educational Opportunities a good chance the things in life and i came into my my husband always tells the story that when he he met me First Service a student then i got a very good job when i came out of university i left and i went working for the trade unions which meant that my income dropped i then left the trade unions to work for shit and fein which meant that my income dropped again and he said to me no you need to stop that because the next thing is you go into work and you know you have to pay them to show up so i am the kind of person that goes on political instinct things that i believe in and i passionately believe in social justice. I believe in irish unity i believe in getting things done i believe rather than sitting on the sidelines and giving i wish that if you actually want to live in a better country if you want to live in a better world theres actually a responsibility on you to go and do something about that so thats how long story short i got involved in political matters wasnt your first choice. For the future for you when i came of age the politics that i knew in the political atmosphere that i was accustomed to or comfortable in was fianna fail. I discovered very quickly that that was exactly the wrong place for me to be because im an irish nationalist i mean united darren ender but i am also a person who believes that social justice and equality is the other side of that coin what good freedom if not an equal and.
