others there are terrorists who are motivated by other means other than islamists motivation perverse islamist motivation we could use this for the peace recognise this is a visual challenge they face this country apart in recent weeks and months in fact we've seen three terrorist attacks in manchester in london and we've also seen that devastating fire at the grand felt tower which really tested threes amazed leadership and when she came here to this mosque there was some people outside who had called her. by contrast jeremy called in what into the mosque and received a round of applause when he assured people but no racism or hate crime would be tolerated and we've also seen people from local non-music communities churches and synagogues bringing flowers and other symbols to show their solidarity with what took place in the early hours of monday morning. reporting there will be dean from

me muslim public affairs committee thinks that tourism a does need to take serious steps to improve security in the u.k. and that there needs to be more debate to back deep seated social issues. the problem of terrorism anything if you pledges right now no one will take seriously for many people she can talk the good talk and she said all the right things all the buzzwords of the which you have to prove in the coming days weeks and months and years if you last that long. can she actually deal with these issues to have a genuine discussion about. why we have terrorism why we have so much muslim in this country and just generally about the lack of security in this country requires a very honest brutal discussion about britain's role britain's foreign policy about how we've actually demonized boston is here as well to justify was abroad and those kind of conversations are hard to take especially if you are part and parcel of an establishment. where the mosque itself has

a controversial history began to be seen as a center for extremism in the one nine hundred ninety s. back then it was accused of being connected to the al qaeda terror group and one that was preaching there in one thousand nine hundred seven was the notorious abu hamza the mosque became a meeting point for very sick streamers figures before hams are was convicted and given a life sentence and there were reports of nine eleven attack and the so-called shoe bomber a man who hid explosives in his shoes on an american airlines flight in two thousand and one was visiting the the it's as a place of worship here's what we previously heard from locals about the mosque we i mean i live on this street. i live. firmly you could maybe see more and i would move further down the street and i know. what was going on before they all had to go to the other mosque because it was too just colonized by people who were local. for the mosque was closed in two thousand and three following investigation until

years later it was reopened under a new chairman since then the new management has tried to distance itself from the radical past two years ago the mosque was targeted in the attempted arson attack to this security video to show a man throwing a pet for a bomb into the mosque compound however it didn't explode heavy rain scotland yard to treat that attack as a hate crime. this evening russia's defense ministry says it has halted cooperation with the u.s. military in syria comes in response to the downing of a syrian fighter jet by an american warplane held city of raka. 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 a communication channel between u.s. and russia forces operating in the airspace over syria to prevent any sort of 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 this being shot down according to the russian military the u.s. has not informed russia off that this isn't 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 halt all 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. belonging to the u.s. led coalition.

of violence in the country this comes from the united nations it does bring up. a broadly or deep concern about the risk of possible miscalculation and escalation in the conflict in syria. now earlier we heard from the pentagon and they said that the downing of the jet was done simply as an act of collective self-defense by coalition forces now self-defense is often and has been the the justification for previous attacks on on separate occasions earlier we've heard about the united states carrying out bombing raids against syrian government forces near the region of al tamp each time the united states has just said that this was an act of self-defense and that they were protecting what they call a de confliction zone now the white house says that it is committed to cooperating with russia to make sure that fighting doesn't take place between different sides in syria however in light of recent incidents this could become difficult.

certainly has ok. in there for us in new york. meanwhile around has launched missiles into eastern syria targeting what it says were islamic state bases in retaliation for this month's deadly attacks by eisel interior. should know that surround is not london and paris this was a job which had to be done if you do more wrong things. 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 and it remains unclear though whether they successfully hit their target as more details and you hear that iran has launched missile strikes the reaction from most people would be fear and dread and that's because iran has been painted as the baddy of the entire region and that's

because we've been led to what we've been told as a country that supports terrorism iran has conducted another ballistic missile to president trunk 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 at the muscle earmuffs the founder of the islamic republic of iran so two very important and precious buildings to the iranian people were types there eighteen people were killed and dozens more were injured an islamic state claimed responsibility for that attack now after this that these attacks around vowed revenge and it clearly meant every word that it said these ground to ground

missiles strikes that we saw yes. today 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 in toronto earlier this month and this is an unprecedented move because it marks the first time that iran has long strike on syrian soil since the country descended into chaos in two thousand and eleven it also shows perhaps that when it means business it means business perhaps the perception shift it has or is when it comes to iran and 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. ok let's get the thoughts now going around the political analyst at the university of toronto he joins us to see

evening thanks for your time tonight what first what do you make of these strikes when you first heard that that happened did you sense that this was a major escalation in the conflict how do you interpret it. yes it was a major event especially since we saw the drones flying over the targets and the missiles hitting the designated areas it showed that a lot of planning was taken or carried out to make sure this was successful so it obviously wasn't a decision that was taken. over the last couple of days the intelligence gathering operation. took a period of time in what this has been said is that the operation has been successful of course it was a reaction to the terrorist attacks in tehran but i think there's more to it than

that. the iranians are sending a message to the united states to the saudis and to the israelis to be careful not to overstep their boundaries be threats that are made against iran are not going to be. tolerated and if there is an attack on iran at any point which is something that is highly unlikely the iranians will have a very powerful response i think it was a major move and it also comes at an important time when the syrian army is making enormous progress against isis sort of the rockies and the syrians are making very enormous gains and what the americans have been trying to do over the past few weeks is to hinder the syrian government and its progress they tried to block the path to the iraqi border similar to what they did early on in the syrian civil war when they when they were supporting the group that later on became isis when we

look at the defense intelligence agency document to two thousand and twelve that's exactly what the regional countries in the united states were trying to do they're trying to separate syria iraq and now that the two governments are have they were. moving to once again link up after a number of years americans try to block it but the field so a lot of progress is being made on the ground and i think that the fact that the iranians struck the isis forces very hard indeed i think gives a very big moral boost to the fighters on the ground so how would you think then that americans saudi arabia and their coalition would react to this. well i think obviously they'll be more careful especially after the downing of the syrian fighter and the response that the russians have given to the americans i think the americans would be smart to be more cautious the united states is obviously breaking international law they have no right to be in syria but of

course the united states is a country that is it is a prior regime it's a rogue regime it in libya destroyed the country and then it sent weapons rather than militants to syria against international law they helped what is now isis against international law they allowed isis to advance on damascus the clip that was leaked with a kerry himself said that we allowed. downtown damascus to in total in order to put pressure on and of course that we could because documents that were leaked showed that clinton knew that in two after two thousand and fourteen i pad and saudi arabia were helping isis so the united states has been breaking international law all along and it continues to do so and by downing a syrian fighter and killing syrian soldiers over the past few weeks it shows that it wants to strengthen. the terrorists and to weaken the syrian government but i

think that the iranians are sending a very strong message a message to the united states very strong message to the saudis and i think the russians to have sent a very strong message and i i'm pretty confident that the situation in syria will continue to improve in favor of government forces and to the detriment of the extremists ok we should add that saudi arabia of course denies supporting the terrorists in syria but i mean on a wider point also we have running parallel to this attempt to page talks to you. do you do you honestly believe that we are reaching a point where they can be traced to it seems to me we're moving closer and closer to some sort of military resolution instead. i agree i think that a military resolution is at least to a to a degree what we are seeing in parts of syria. the iranians of course and the russians they want negotiations they want to end the bloodshed. there can be no no

negotiations with isis and there can be no negotiations with al-qaeda these are groups that have to be completely and utterly destroyed in syria but with regard to the rest of the organizations that are fighting the syrian government the iranians the russians want to solution but of course again even though the saudis deny it they are the ones alongside other countries that have been supporting al-qaeda in isis we recall that unfortunately in the past the turkish government they were doing extensive oil deals we know now that the i pad is in the saudis are at loggerheads with the soviets are pointing out what i tell you they have done in the . pointing out with the saudis have done so it's becoming clear what is happening in yemen we know that they have a head of al qaeda said that his forces are fighting alongside the saudi backed forces but i think that ultimately the sody regime and other regimes in this region

who have been supporting wahhabi extremists they are going to feel more and more pressure they're running out of cash they're running out of strength and i think the tide has turned in iraq and syria and i'm i again i think that there must be at the end of the day a negotiated solution but the more we move ahead and the more that the saudis and others resist this peaceful solution the weaker their hand is at the negotiating table came hammett we'll leave it there but not to get it still it was mohammad marandi professor from the university to running again. it's been exactly five years to the day since junior signed stepped into the korean embassy in london and he hasn't left since the wiki leaks editor sought political asylum there sweden investigated allegations of sexual offenses against him however last year the united nations rules that he's been arbitrarily detained and just last

month misandrist sieved a small boost and a legal break through swedish prosecutors suspended their investigation into those allegations of sexual assault despite that though he still has a british arrest warrant and you know for him for breaching bail back in two thousand and twelve when he first sought asylum in the embassy that we can he said it is acknowledged that his 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. sarge big revelations of included the afghan war logs and twenty ten and most recently seven which does detail the cia's alleged digital spying tools and tactics the big concern for his legal team is whether the u.k. will allow him to be extradited to the u.s. for leaking those documents and they probably a sheer 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 at an isp or fester of legal studies at the university pose lay thinks that there is little chance the us will ever give up to seeing such. as 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 pulls his hair with 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 and 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 you know european countries should assist in that and what has happened up till now has been disgraceful but is just getting worse. now the stars festival a gathering celebrate space exploration and astronomy has started in norway our crew and correspondent paul scott is there and they've had the chance to to catch up with a number of astronauts and cosmonauts. r.t. is here is one of the official information partners of star most see 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 come down now but i'm sure

you'd 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 if we are to show that had very real practical applications in training but of course a star message 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 even got 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 taught 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. and the conflict between nato allies germany and turkey continues to escalate after

berlin announced plans to come good on its threat to withdraw its troops means base in turkey and relocate them to jordan with more peter on. 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 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 towards in which even president.
