u.k. a van plowed into a crowd of pedestrians near a mosque in london early on monday injuring ten people one person also died at the scene although it's not clear if that is linked the suspected attacker has been charged with the terrorists the incident took place in the north of the city police first responded to reports of the vehicle hitting people outside the muslim welfare . road within a minute of it happening crowds were leaving ramadan and prayers at the finish the park mosque prime minister theresa may quickly condemn it. a country woke to news of another terrorist attack. on the streets of our capital city. this was an attack almost made a place of worship. please stick legit a terrorist incident within eight minutes. on my way home. i hear the big

noise and the crash noise when i turned back i was told that the fire hit the people the guy was under the van was seriously injured he was looking at the guy like this in a van that you had to hit it seeks to drive us apart. here treat and evil. will never succeed. but this video appeared online apparently showing the moment police arrested the suspect and forty seven year old white male was handed over to offices and arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after being pinned down by worshipers he has more on the incident. the attack took place just off the midnight behind this courtroom to the left of where those flowers have been placed by members of the community and it took place that the muslim welfare house just outside it's a small mosque just attached to a building right next to the entrance to finsbury park station contrary to original

reports it wasn't the finns re park mosque plus the mosque which is just down this way and is a large mosque and just earlier actually the prime minister the trees the may and the leader of the opposition jeremy corbyn they both went into that mosque and we've also heard from the mayor of london saw that car on terrorism is terrorism it doesn't matter whether you're inspired by a perverse force of islam or inspired by some other motives to try and terrorize others there are terrorists who are motivated by other means other than islamists motivation perverse islamist motivation the could use this that the police recognize this is an additional challenge they face this country apart in recent weeks and months in fact we've seen three terrorist attacks in manchester and london and we've also seen that devastating fire run felt tower which really tested threes amazed leadership and when she came here to this mosque it was some people outside who had called her by contrast into the mosque and received

a round of applause when he assured people that know racism or hate crime would be tolerated we've also seen people from local non muslim communities churches and synagogues bringing flowers and other symbols to show their solidarity with what took place in the early hours of monday morning. so another tragic night then for london the park mosque itself had long been a controversial one in the u.k. and came to be seen in the late ninety's as a center for extremism in the country back then it was accused of being connected to the al qaida terror group one man that was preaching their nine. ninety seven was notorious abu hamza the mosque became a meeting point for very sick streamers figures before how many was convicted and given a life sentence there were reports a nine eleven attack and the so-called shoe bomber a man who had explosives in his shoes on an american airlines flight in two thousand and one will visit visiting the place of worship is what we previously

heard from locals about the mosque. we live on this story. live. from really good neighbors move only further down the street and i know. it was going on before they all had to go to the other because it was too just got colonized by people who were local the region where the mosque was closed in two thousand and three following an investigation into years later it was reopened and a new chairman since then the new management trying to distance itself from the radical past two years ago was targeted in the tempted arson attack the security video shows a man throwing a petrol bomb into the mosques compound however it did it didn't explode q two heavy rain scotland yard treating that attack as a hate crime. now in other news tonight russia's

defense ministry says it has halted cooperation with the u.s. military in syria the move comes in response to the downing of a syrian fighter jet by an american warplane in the eisel held city of raka the city has the details now one thing is when diplomats engage in a war of words but today's development shows that it's gone far beyond that with russia deciding to end the single most important agreement that the u.s. and russia signed since moscow was invited by the assad regime to join the fight in syria now this agreement we're talking about here was signed back in october twenty fifth dean and what it does is established as a communication channel between u.s. and russia forces operating in the airspace over syria to prevent any sort of unwanted incidents as you can imagine this air space is very dense with so many different countries so many different groups involved in any sort of mistake and misinformation really can lead to think of all consequences and in this case of the syrian being shot down according to the russian military the u.s. has not informed russia off the decision to shoot down this syrian jet through the

existing communication channel at the same time russian jets was also operating in the area and as a result of this incident russia has decided to hold off cooperation with the u.s. military in syria and this sort of military information blackout could potentially be a disaster waiting to happen here's why. any aircraft belonging to the u.s. led coalition detected in the skies west of the euphrates river where the russian air force is operating will be tracked a star gets by russian air defense systems now on the pentagon's board they insist this shooting down the syrian jet was an act of self-defense they say the syrian jets were dropping bombs on s.d. at the sea when democratic forces positions near rocka syria says no they say that the syrian jets were targeting i saw targets in iraq or rocco's of course the capital of islamic state self-proclaimed caliph it and russia has described this as an act of a pressure. they describe this as a violation of not only up serious sovereignty but also international law russia

foreign minister also commented on this before the statement was released by the russian military now. we call on the united states and all others who have their forces or advisers on the ground in syria to ensure the coordination of our work zones of deescalation are one of the possible options to move forward jointly we call in everyone to avoid unilateral moves respect syrian sovereignty and join our common work which is agreed with the syrian government. well the downing of the syrian jets is the latest in a series of u.s. strikes against forces fighting for the assad government u.s. led coalition recently conducted several bombing raids against pro-government fighters in syria and in those cases the saying justification was used by the pentagon namely that the sad forces had breached the confliction. we got reaction on the latest developments from the middle east experts. did the americans react to

syrian threats as a source or were they trying to assert sovereignty over syria if you think about it really ever since the early one thousand nine hundred ninety s. have been used to it being able to patrol what they regard as enemy skies with impunity and they feel threatened but also the allies on the ground are threatened so there is a risk that in fact they may try to assert themselves against any syrian or russian limitations on their activities over syria and that of course could spiral out of control who are very dangerous situation although some people in washington are saying are the russians will never stand up to us well maybe not but what if regarding are we going towards you know more suspension of cooperation i think that's what some people in the u.s. administration actually want so they don't meaning they don't want to have the cooperation between you were sort of russia maybe not necessarily trump himself but i think you do have figures who are very anti russian in the administration step by

step but a trump is bearing down to the hand to the russian voices in his in his administration i think we are heading towards a more suspension of cooperation and more hostility between moscow and washington which could mean some very bleak scenarios for the future in further developments around has fired missiles into eastern syria targeting what it says were islamic state bases we'll have that story plus reaction to it in a couple minutes. when i was told some seemed wrong on one old rule just don't call. me the bold get to shape out. you can stick out to it and engage with equals betrayal.

when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground the. i don't see clear to the strategies and anyway i always. think it's good for today or tomorrow. you have a team of four with grief. you know divorce immediately i feel that we are in the. historical moment in the middle east and it is very difficult to predict how things will be called. hello again now iran has launched missiles into eastern syria targeting what it says were islamic state bases in retaliation for this month's deadly attacks by i

still interrupt. here on our own image should know that surround is not london and paris this was a job which had to be done if they do more wrong things they will see more deadly attacks it is the first time around has fired medium range missiles in nearly thirty years the last was when it took part in the iraq war the missiles have a range of up to seven hundred kilometers although it does remain unclear whether they successfully hit their targets has the details and you have it iran has launched missile strikes the as a reaction from most people would be fear and dread enough because iran has been painted as the body of the entire region and that's because we've been lied to what we've been told is that iran is a country that supports terrorism iran has conducted another ballistic missile test the president trying to is putting iran on notice for firing a ballistic missile and there are also reports the white house is considering labeling iran's islamic revolutionary guard corps

a terrorist organization yet what these latest developments show is a very different side to the iran that we know iran like many other countries around the world has experienced bloodshed at the hands of islamic state with those twin attacks that we saw into iran just earlier this month. gunmen stormed the parliament while it was in session and opened fire almost similar tale yesterday we saw suicide blasts the muscle earmuffs the founder of the islamic republic of iran so two very important and precious buildings to the iranian people were attacked there eighteen people were killed and dozens more were injured an islamic state claimed responsibility for that attack now after this that these attacks iran vowed revenge and it clearly meant every word that it said these ground to ground missile strikes that we saw yesterday launched from western iran and into syria's eastern d arrows or targeting the militants which iran said were responsible for those twin

attacks that we saw into iran earlier this month and this is an unprecedented move because it marks the first time that iran has launched strikes on syrian soil since the country descended into chaos in two thousand and eleven and it also shows perhaps that iran when it means business it means business perhaps the perception shift it has or is when it comes to iran while the west has warns that iran is a country that is dangerous and that it shouldn't have weapons on the other hand iran is now using these weapons to launch strikes on islamic states the common enemy and it's also making a lot of progress in destroying this common enemy to. spread exactly five years since june the sun stepped into the ecuadorian embassy in london and he hasn't left since the wiki leaks editor saw political asylum there is sweden investigated allegations of sexual offenses against him however last year the united nations ruled that he's being. detained and just last month the signs

received a small boost to the legal breakthrough because swedish prosecutors suspended their investigation into those allegations of sexual assault despite that though he still has a british arrest warrant hanging over him for breaching bail back in twenty twelve when he first. sought asylum in the embassy they were killed said it has acknowledged that the fight is far from over. the road is far from over. the war the proper war is just commencing but the u.k. has said it will arrest me regardless. sanjay's big revelations have included the afghan war logs in twenty ten the most recently vote seven which details the cia's alleged digital spying two and tactics and the big concern for his legal team is whether the u.k. will allow him to be extradited to the west for leaking those documents in april this year the u.s. attorney general described songes arrest as a priority. this is

a man of this grown beyond anything i am aware honest are just a narcissist who has created nothing of value your lies on the dirty work of others to make himself famous is a fraud a coward hiding behind a screen. adam is a professor of legal studies at the university of all slade does think that there is little chance that the us will ever give up the searing sun. has this problem that he has every reason to fear that there will be some immediate action they will try to whisk him out of the country that forces here would sweden and frankly i think he has every reason to be concerned about what will happen with him if the u.k. authorities. arrested him this is not only a question of. balance ministration today. has been targeted by security intelligence services for a long time they have aimed at getting him ported to the us and they are not giving

up the way the british police english police now are so it does not give any further confidence it's completely disproportionate and europe should not know european authority in the european countries should assist in that and what has happened up till now has been disgraceful but is just getting worse. now the conflict between nato and allies germany and turkey continues to escalate after burleson announced plans to come good on its threat to withdraw its troops from the incident base in turkey and we like them to jordan with more his peace rather. well it all looks very messy at the moment the latest from the german defense ministry is that the they will start pulling out of their troops from the insular air base in turkey in july live on the line the defense minister she outlined their plan saying that they would continue as normal until the end of the month until the end

of june our flight plans as part of the anti eisel coalition are set after that will be transferring our tanker aircraft as quickly as possible to jordan with a role that germany has been providing as part of the coalition fighting against isis has been reconnaissance air surveillance well the tornado fighter jets that carry out those reconnaissance flights won't be fully operational from their new base in santee in jordan until october we hear that because of the equipment moving from turkey over to jordan will take that amount of time well this all started because german lawmakers german parliamentarians would deny permission to go and visit their troops that were stationed in turkey but it's the latest step in what has been a degeneration in the diplomatic relations between germany and anchor the failed coup attempt last year in turkey saw tensions rise after germany said it may

consider offering asylum to some of those who took part or accused of taking part in that coup attempt there was also a diplomatic for rory over the president to one side wanting to campaign here in germany during the referendum that they held airlie at this year they were tonight the rights to do that that flared things up and that's also been beaten name calling from ankara towards in which even president is the one going as far as accusing the german government of nazi tactics all of this between two nato allies who are really at the lowest ebb when it comes to their. diplomatic ties. finally this hour the star miss festival a gathering this celebrates space exploration and astronomy has started in norway and our crew and correspondent peter scott is there they've had the chance to catch up with a number of astronauts and cosmonauts. artes here as one of the official information

partners of star most behind me as well a huge three sixty area he was the first of course to film in three hundred sixty degrees in space and there have been dozens of visitors here looking to explore the i.s.a.'s in virtual reality throughout the day on forces calm down now but i'm sure it be the same again tomorrow we filmed it with the help of a body. and also there was nothing astronauts. the american. and he gave a talk about v r to show that had very real practical applications in training but of course a star most isn't all about three hundred sixty degrees the atmosphere here is very much harder i'd imagine it to be on the i s s i not just talking about the chemical composition of this scientists from around the world who are experts in their own field field with one common goal and that is to popularise science so the be talk

from nobel laureates cosmonauts astronauts hollywood directors is on a range of topics from work in the world of robots in the future future to colonizing other planets but there's one thing that we're taking a back seat here that you may be relieved to find out and that's politics. peter scott reporting that up next here a nazi saw finke zero looks at nato has pledged to join the fight against extremism if you're watching us though in the u.k. or ireland renegade in examines the impact of the two thousand and three invasion of iraq on the british paper. let's talk about blackness and the blues of being black. and always well in a big i don't know at least that's what i've been told but he surely did weigh in

remains is such because we simply forgot on. the scene we've allowed them to rearrange their plane you've told us the sickness of trusting our enemy and we became their face. in that's what i call a lack of blackness or understand in the blues of being black. should the blues have been black should mandate that we attack knowing how when and what to do to come this simple in as natural as be black is simply to the feeling blue is black and blue. be. a patch or sudden passing i've only just learnt you were a south and taken your last bang turn. to us we all knew it would i

tell you i'm sorry i could so i write these last words and helps to put to rest these things that i never got off my chest. i remember when we first met my life turned on each. but then my feeling started to change you talked about more like it was a. still some are fond of you those that didn't like to question our arc and i secretly promised to never be like it said one does not leave the funeral the same as one enters mind it's consumed with this one to. speak to you now because there are no other takers. claimed that mainstream media has met its maker. news. but they are. the people

that know me. you know me but really they are the better. part. of. a welcome to sophie and komi sophie shevardnadze nato is joining the global fight against islamic state but what's to actual play and behind the bold declaration. well the military alliance be able to reinvent itself in the face of changing threats to talk about this and war we're joined by a former deputy secretary general of nato i listened on when you thought it so.

isolationist schools appear to be damaging the unity of nato as europe is criticized by the us president for failing to show financial commitment to the long decades old alliance is now feeling the pressure with the e.u. see. be ready to take it security into its own hands in a few radical european army replace them waits on the transatlantic alliance is the current disagreement just a passing cloud or will it be the catalyst of an unraveling of seventy years of western union. sound it'll mean the former deputy secretary general of nato welcome to the show it's really great to have you with us now sir at the latest nato summit startled chong scalded alliance members for not pulling their weight financially effective be effectively for not contributing two percent of their g.d.p. to defense but since it's still united states that will to most influence in the

alliance isn't it fair washington pays the lion's share of expansive well you know distro oreo to two percent is an old flame you know and is not stated by lloyd if there's a target which shouldn't political has been aside for a few years ago and it is truly the most old european of those old made up don't pay go up to two percent but let's say there is no magic because. there are also other feelings that the european allies do like like participating in medical professionals which are not counted in this family stupor slime account you see so as a complicated issue certainly what is true is that there's probably the counters would be spending more in the future but how much and in which way is still to be saved. nato is now joining the anti.
