A great investigative piece on the Kremlin weaponizing money on a global scale, in this case while attacking France and using the ultra-right there. Glad my researched on Babakov helped. The Balkan states do terrific journalistic work. Thank you. globalcir.com/2018/12/31/da-…

#Afganistan: Yesterday, #Putin said at the conference: "As for pulling the US troops out, I don't know what it is. The US has been in Afganistan for 17 years and announces every year they are leaving. As of now, they are still there-->" at 1:38:26
...We don't see any signs of the troops being pulled out for now but I believe that it is possible especially since we are following the path of political regulation..." he told Rachel Mardsen of @chicagotribune
Today, U.S. officials say the Pentagon is developing plans to withdraw up to half of the 14,000 American troops serving in Afghanistan.

Next up at @BylineFest a panel with @DamianCollins and @carolecadwalla

Damian is chair of House of Commons Select Committee for culture Media and also sport, which conducted investigation into ‘fake news’ which followed evidential trail that broadened the remit...
#BylineFest
That investigation ended up looking into Brexit and the Cambridge Analytica law breaking, and produced a comprehensive and extensive report.

Damian starts by speaking a little about his work with the enquiry...

#BylineFest
He says that what he started looking at was content hosted by tech companies that was intended to mislead. It wasn’t just fun or silly stuff like jokes about Trump, it was completely false stuff like the bodies of white women being found with ‘black lives matter’ carved in flesh

#BylineFest
Carole says her investigations into Brexit began doing features on technology, noticing tech companies popping up linked to fake news stories, election campaigning and so on… then the election and she began seeing links between it all, and the name Cambridge Analytica came up…

#Thread Went to Vizhinjam coast to meet the fishermen who took part in rescue mission in #KeralaFloods . We were filled with positive energy and happiness hearing their experiences (1/n)
We dedicated almost 2 pages for celebrating their mission.On Thursday 8.10 pm Fr.Justin Judin,vicar of Vizhinjam church announced the requirement for boats through public announcement system. In 20 minutes almost 50 boats and 100 fishermen were assembled. Military like formation!
Just see the Engine fan of a fishing boat which participated in the #KeralaFloods rescue mission. Most of the boats are damaged and they won't be able to go to sea for a while. I was blown away by their sacrifice (3/n)
