Now, as Iowa Public Radio's Katie Peikes reports, King's constituents in western Iowa are pondering his political future. Today, they're talking about Steve King. DENNIS TOEL: You know, there's no freedom of speech anymore. PEIKES: But their friend, Walt Kleinhesselink, is not so sure. PEIKES: King has represented this corner of Iowa since 2003, easily winning re-election every time until last November. He's made comments about the freedom of black people. PEIKES: A couple of tables away, Bre Ellis says she agrees with King's strong anti-abortion positions and support for gun rights, but she doesn't like the terms King defended like white supremacist, white nationalist and Western civilization. BRE ELLIS: I think that, at one time, Western civilization was an OK term to use. PEIKES: After the New York Times interview ran, King said he condemned white nationalism and supremacy, although he insists he's still a defender of Western civilization. For NPR News, I'm Katie Peikes in Sioux City, Iowa.

It's difficult to offer protection to the victims." In the wake of the 2014 Sony Pictures breach, for example, hackers leaked corporate secrets from multiple Twitter accounts; Sony Pictures threatened to sue the social network if it didn't keep up with banning the accounts. Even more similar to the recent incident in Germany was a massive leak on Twitter in 2016 of personal information from Chinese business executives and political affiliates, including birth dates, personal addresses, and national identification numbers. The approach is particularly damaging because it puts victims and their associates at risk of personal attacks. While official details are still unavailable, the data appears to have been collected from multiple web platforms where targets had accounts and reused exposed passwords. "I doubt that it was all from one source," says German security researcher Matthias Merkel. "And there are just some state elections coming up in Germany, nothing federal." But the incident fits into a broader trend of crafting detailed and deeply personal leaks that have long-lasting repercussions for their victims. "This is why it's premature to speculate that it's related to targeting the election process.

Ukip’s leader, Gerard Batten, has been strongly backed by its national executive. The move will prevent yet another civil war for the party, but possibly hastening the exit of Nigel Farage, who has publicly despaired at the current hard-right stance. Batten, a vehement proponent of anti-Muslim policies, who has described Islam as a “death cult”, has sparked significant internal dissent over the direction he has taken the party and particularly over his decision to appoint the far-right street activist Tommy Robinson as an adviser. However, members “voted overwhelmingly against a motion of no confidence” in the leader, a Ukip tweet said. Third Ukip MEP quits over party's courtship of Tommy Robinson Read more A later statement from the party, however, said the national executive “does not endorse the appointment of Tommy Robinson in any advisory role”, adding that he remained banned from joining Ukip. The march has been condemned by Farage, Ukip’s two-time leader and defining figure, who said on Sunday that the party backing such an event would give the impression of “people who were racists within the party”. Farage said on his LBC radio show: “If this march goes ahead with Gerard Batten as the leader of Ukip, then Ukip becomes the new BNP.” Robinson, who founded the English Defence League street protest group and has been jailed several times, was “somebody who attracts around him a group of thugs,” Farage said. It has emerged that Thomas, who styles himself Danny Thommo, was jailed for two years in 2016 for his part in a bungled kidnap attempt in Hampshire. Thomas was among a gang who tried and failed to pull a man from his home over a supposed robbery debt. They did not wear masks, one lived on the same street as the victim, and another later apologised on Facebook, saying they had targeted the wrong person.
