well. syria accuse israel of aiding terrorists after the i.d.f. bomb syrian troops for the second time. the massacres soldiers. we hear from a u.s. democratic congresswoman who's pushing the stop washington militants in syria. each time we have these wars it has resulted in the strengthening of terrorist groups. and russian investigators say the perpetrators of the metro bombing in april used the encrypted messaging service telegraph to plan and carry out the atrocity.

very good afternoon for me cover now in love with you here don t h q just. now top stories from syria the conflict is taking the dangerous new with the israeli military bombing syrian government troops for the second time as many across the weekend a middle east correspondent paula slee has got the latest from tel aviv. israelis claim that these strikes are in retaliation for cross border shelling from the syrian military earlier this morning monday they were again reports that idea of tanks had fired across the border after another round of mortar fire from syria landed in the israeli side of the golan heights but the israeli army has since said that these reports of foals however regarding the earlier two incidents of syrian shells landing in israel these been no proof that in fact it was the syrian military that fired those shells damascus has said that its forces are currently

battling terrorists in the area so there's no way to pinpoint exactly who fired the shells damascus has now accused israel of effectively providing cover for the terrorists by bombing the syrian military is one of course has been illegally according to the international community occupying the golan heights since one thousand nine hundred sixty seven israel's bombing of the syrian government forces comes just a week after the u.s. u.s. led coalition shot down as syrian military jet and an manned drone that u.s. officials often say that they like to lead by example and in this case it seems to apply to what israel is not doing when the united states and its allies target the syrian military which is pretty routine that of course stands a signal to other countries that they might be able to get away with the same kind of thing and as i mentioned the syrian government is fighting it out on the street terrorists near the border because well well this might just be another example noting because russia has recently accused the u.s. of failing to target this very same terrorist group. we can't forget that

since the beginning of this crisis we've strongly felt the. contrast with for whatever reason was not targeted by u.s. department holding frank talks about it would be americans will be taking up the issue with rex tillerson once again in the near future now russia hold its military cooperation in syria with the u.s. led coalition after the downing on. and this latest escalation from israel's bombing of the syrian military is a slippery slope for this to the international which is being fought on so in soil . where u.s. diplomat jim just told us the timing of the israeli strikes on the syrian military suspicious is one thing for the israelis to say that they will protect their border that's lead because side the question what the status of the golan is the bigger question is this is there is there something more behind this then just the

israelis responding to what they meant is an errant lending of syrian missiles on their side of the border the anti-government forces in syria are on the ropes that the the basques government is making great gains that there is concerned these terrorist forces by as we know saudi arabia qatar and these other countries with the silent backing of israel and of course the participation of the united states are in big trouble and are these really what that means is and they are quite clear about this that they don't want to see forces allied with iran on their border particularly hizbollah and i think that's the real concern that they're expressing through this action whether it will grow into something major i don't know meanwhile the u.s. government's agenda in syria is coming under increasing scrutiny on capitol hill democratic will make it pushing will trying to at least through a controversial bill through congress that would pressure washington to stop arming

syrian rebels gavotte also visited syria on a funk finding mission and this year so fatherhood drafts only attracted the support of fourteen other u.s. lawmakers. we must stop this madness we must stop arming terrorists i'm introducing the stop arming terrorist act today to prohibit taxpayer dollars from being used to support terrorists he caught up with us congresswoman nancy teleconference in new york i and many others are working hard to continue to build support for this legislation with the goal of getting it passed and ending this policy i think that there has been a concerted effort to both on the part of some in the media as well as many in politics and many in our foreign policy establishment to have been advocating for a continuance of these regime change wars really ignoring the fact of what has been the consequence of these wars in countries like iraq and libya and syria where each

time we have waged these wars it has resulted in the strengthening of terrorist groups like al qaeda or the creation of isis and it has resulted in a tremendous amount of suffering and death from the people of these countries. elsewhere that the new director the cia he's devoted a few minutes of his first interview on a national t.v. network in america to a very familiar story is that russia meddled in the us presidential elections in fact he believes it was part of a decades long effort to undermine american democracy brushes always denied any interference can't talk about the details of the intelligence but we have the intelligence committee has said that this election was meddled with by the russians in a way that is frankly not particular original they've been doing this for an awfully long time and we are decades into the russians trying to undermine american democracy. and if the cia chief isn't tired of accusing the kremlin seems many

americans sick of the same old story a newly released poll suggests that more than half of the people surveyed would now like to see congress and the media focus on other issues such as health care for example we got expert opinion on the allegations against russia from john mcafee he created the first commercial antivirus software and he's also worked for nasa to he told us the u.s. elections could have been hacked by anyone that so easy it was. i feel that russia has been seriously abused by america and certainly our american pop government and politicians over the false accusations of russia tried to hack our election i know for a fact that russia did not hack the d.n.c. source absolutely not yet all of our politicians all of them are going crazy about us the russians tried to hack us they tried to control us we had a report from homeland security here in america that actually included the malware

the software that was used for the hack well myself and hundreds of other researchers have looked at that and discovered that it's a very common piece of malware called p a s web shell it was it was collected from a website that only asked for donations and it was six versions old and even the newest version only sells for fifty dollars now i ask you please people do you believe that the russian government cannot afford to pay even fifty dollars if they wanted to buy software that they would go to a donated site where you didn't have to pay anything it was some of it was some teenager a random teenager somewhere in the world that did this. six police officers have been injured in london after a protest against police brutality to violet four people were arrested there.

just as the police the said rubbish bins on fire as well in some places. was over the death of a twenty five year old black man after a traffic stop in london the demonstrators claimed he was brutally beaten by offices six days later in hospital. is carried banners reading black lives matter in the chanted slogans against racism in police ranks the police say they're investigating the incident. saying the u.k. to big day coming up promised the trees a may is due to set out the rights of citizens living in britain later today as she sees it however some in europe already dissatisfied potentially on offer after breakfast that they're looking for firm guarantees for the future of the millions of e.u. citizens in the u.k. my first impression is that the u.k. so far is below expectations. that it's risks worsening the situation.

but before when they go to allies the offer line by line well sort received on paper and threats of walking away from the deal are already coming from top bricks it negotiated david davis this started with suggestions that will be a punishment deal you know that we would have to do worse outside we don't believe will do work and i believe will in court will take a couple years will do significantly better with the global markets but we cannot have a circumstance of the other sizes are going to punish you so if that happens then there's a walk away and we have to plan for that mr davis also reiterated his eagerness to establish beneficial economic agreements such as free trade in customs treaties despite that some conditions still remain more uncertain than ever rex it's among the issues which the former european commission president jose manuel barroso has been discussing with the shevardnadze full interview airs various times later today

. bret's it is a important issue it was a problem i was not happy with it but to be honest. britain great britain was always some kind of exceptional case in your opinion britain did not want to be a member of the euro did not want to be a member of shingle there was what sometimes you called the british exceptionalism so it's true that it is a problem. coming up encrypted messaging apps are back in the spotlight over the use by terrorists now it's a new store in smalling as investigators say they've made a cave find in the same petersburg metro bombing probe we've got a correspondent tell us more after the break. here's what people have been saying about reject. the only show i go out of my way

to. really pack them. all over a party america's. parents better than. i see heard of. the president of the world bank a. seriously send us an e-mail. this is what happens to pensions in britain. as a report. that. integrates. the refugees at the same time we cannot accept everybody that comes to our countries all countries their borders looks so beautiful

as the right to control the borders. for the break investigators looking into these simply metro bombing in april. is a compass is used a controversial encrypted messaging service to plan and carry out the atrocity it has been across this morning what exactly have the federal security service the f.s.b. said. given high good will first of all let's look at telegram it is famous for its outstanding features that it boasts in terms of encryption secret chats now as you remember about three months ago these. suicide bomber in st petersburg killed fifteen people in the investigation into that has got to the point where the russian federal security service are saying that all in all the stages of the preparation for that attack the bomber himself and anyone who assisted him both in

russia and abroad they were using tar graham and also they're saying that telegram with all its encryption features right now has become the most widely used by terrorist organizations in russia now just a little earlier russia's communications regulator said that it could be days away from blocking telegram the russian authorities demanded that the telegram team share the chats and the crypto keys with them if and when requested to which he. said no and he said that he thinks that privacy and the right to what is more important than the fear of terrorism. will look different people are going to look different views will come down either way but it does bring up this whole thing about privacy versus security. the coast is not just telegram there are others as well that

a guess could conceivably be used by terrorists as well there's the general public that's got nothing to do with terrorism and genuinely really praised all the new features that these tech thing ops are now like telegram with the new levels of privacy but the authorities are on high alert and they're absolutely not happy with these loopholes and perhaps that is justified because two research organizations have published at least one hundred reports of jihad azour organizations using telegram in the past you were saying that there are other apps that are grading their encryption facilities like watson app developers of that got under fire in the u.k. after the terrorist attacks in britain and that was criticism on a very high profile lovel. companies to develop tools to identify and remove harmful materials automatically i want to see them report this file contents to the off storage is and block the users who spread it there should be no place for

terrorists to hide we need to make sure that organizations like whatsapp and there are plenty of others like that don't provide a secret place for terrorists to communicate with each other we need to make sure that our intelligence services have the ability to get into situations like encrypted whatsapp kevin but the great threat is still out there and since the number of terrorist attacks in europe has only been increasing i guess it is fair to say that the authorities failed to contain it and now they are saying that the only way for them to do it is get access to the chats and crypto keys so in the near future we are bound to hear more debate on that the usual thing security versus the number be up for telegram will find those pows in the coming days to see which way that one goes not over or earlier thank you. since twenty sixteen presidential campaign donald trump has been promising many a time mostly to bring the nation together. i say it is time for us

to come together as one united people we may have our differences we are strongest when we are unified however the divisions appeared to deepen since last year's election pitting not only political opponents but now even us states against each other in reports. liberal california is unhappy with some of its conservative sister states it's ban state sponsored travel to texas alabama south dakota and kentucky with north carolina mississippi kansas and tennessee already on the list these sanctions of sorts are bringing up some interesting historical memory. california says that it's taking this action in response to what it says is discrimination against lesbian gay bisexual and transgender people each of those states in the recent weeks have been acted legislation that may deprive some of the individuals of those states and individuals who visit those states of their

constitutional rights there are consequences to discrimination restricting state sponsored travel is a consequence i think of just trying to cause infighting in the u.s. i think be all to make goal of liberals in some kind of civil war and that's where that's their goal at least but the lone star state is fighting back taxes along with twelve other states is threatening to sue california for its climate change initiative which discloses companies investments in fossil fuels now the governor of california has announced that he is ready to fight against the republicans in d.c. . and other states and other provinces throughout the world will step up there's already been talk of a calyx or this liberal state behemoth breaking away from the rest of the country seem to be escalating right now in a war of words between the conservative forces in california california is more to the left of the trump agenda of the nation so right now california is one of the more progressive states in this country and not to be outdone

a few texans are now raising the idea of secession and raising the lone star flag once again or advocating for texas leaving the union we've been doing this now for well over a day and we've you know in this last legislative session we came closer and we did . before there are going to be states that are going to be leaving the union and it's going to happen sooner rather than later if you pay attention to american politics it's pretty clear that folks don't see eye to eye but are we really getting back to civil war levels where we all can't be one country some folks certainly think so and the gap between the liberal and conservative states is only getting bigger. r t new york. change of tone and pace no the two final group games of the twenty seventeen confederations cup decided the last two semifinal is so seems chile and germany they're going to get through they're now going to face portugal and mexico in the last four let's go up to speed

on the tournament with neil harvey and stan collymore in the lovely bus resort in sochi that's where they are today. welcome to sort of see the semifinal lineup is now complete let's cut to the chase is germany and it is chile who will complete the final four alongside me stan collymore you made some predictions earlier alongside nick of the come on come on let's let's go a little bit more it was paul the octopus back in germany in two thousand and six was very good nick of the berries. germany as we expected when the first game you both thought i was going to happen was up yesterday germany three cameroon one very good cameroon were in the first off of play very aggressive very youthful but the german quality came through kerry very by itself annoying he's first appearance of the conflict court first goal. watch out for this draw in the next twelve months he

will be in the germany squad to play for the world cup when the germans come back here he scored two goals that's the first time a german has scored two goals in the confederations called and then of course again chile against australia i was completely wrong i thought chile would have base fairly comfortably. strong chilean soit against an australian side which is very useful for this exchange might be for the game and a really creditable draw from the australians let's just you know play some jews into the bear went from australia which was on the cards for the first forty five minutes before was a betting man and i'm not aware of german a still against chile following ok and germany didn't stay in so they wanted to be pleased again let's bring in now moment both of these former australian aston villa's so many of the chelsea seven teams of people and you know what he's an old paolo team and he also let you speak soon first azar what's happening sung. good evening meal good evening stand good to hear from you mate great to hear from you

obviously watch the game you've been in russia for the last couple of days but start with the football for us. very creditable australian performance today zaki their best performance on the today new manager for a very long time that was better than chilly in the first half and they bet more and more the match them during the second half as well chile to be fair stepped it up a good second half and equalized rodriguez but overall a strike and feel very very proud of their performance there for a while there it looked as though the great upset was on obviously a lot of people especially in the west of australia very very concerned about travelling anyway these days and i was different to come in here but i was wonderfully surprised that i live here in moscow which is. absolutely mobbed the city the culture the architecture everything good bad is just first class but st petersburg i was there for nearly a week and that was absolutely outstanding as well and the main concerns obviously people are asking me about in australia is number one the security and security second set on it's absolutely world class the food has been fantastic the people

have been very very helpful and so many people are now in australia now dying to tommy for the world cup there's only one thing that i think is wrong is that the taxi drivers drive too fast. to insult place just really allow you to appreciate what this place has to offer some and. winter destination if you want to go on holiday beautiful beaches at the same time will plus ski now did annoy the saudis to see how long it was going to try to get from the stadiums the arenas the sea level wonderful sea level attractions to the olympic slopes over on my left and saw as we went by taxi went by train and quite some shuras will call right. this is a race war is it that's why i like it so much it's very walnuts and i think we've been in the sun a bit too much i was thinking when funds come here we should show them the whole experience what they can do some of it on the beach we know the watch the football let's show them what it's like up in the mountain even on sukhumvit freshens well

different from. the last week here with you. but i'm going to the train station train station you speak english yes what's your name brown mon ami. are you looking forward to excited the looks of foreign people are going to come here people unfortunate that they really like to do it it's historical and they like. many people understands english guns legally speaking when they come and i think people understand it because they . believe it i think it has them on let's go to our kids feel like i. am.

here actually. i think that's just months or easter that we can tell you gaining ounces you don't feel. this it grows it has secrets of its call. them. this is from the. sunshine fresh. beach state. very well for it's been well listen to our minister from the beach which is about to arrive the very top the roses this is stunning i mean a study where we were almost at peak level right behind you to. now we're starting to see snow three hundred sixty degrees and. we. see issues high. how about this for

a place to push the confederations cup. two thousand and three. let's go and get some snow. and ice to make it seem to make. school sunshine beautiful scenery how do you feel. about. this is one of those moments where you don't need any with. the adventure continues next as promised breck's it security and europe's migrant crisis so we ship it out to go head to head with the former european commission president jose barroso.

seemed wrong on one old rule just all. the old yet to shape our just because the ticket and engagement equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground.

our own. school and the people.

below welcome to me sophie shevardnadze like much of the world the e.u. is going through turbulent times massive immigration. security threats rocking the very foundation of the union well the when the common challenges. are closer together or. were here and do you raise him media forum or not to discuss this and much more with the former president. bush on the rise of euro skepticism european politicians into promises of reform don't turn in relations with the west is making brussels think about a tighter union in europe but with so many different voices inside the bloc. will forward it how will the powerhouse of the union bring the newer member states in line and will the powerful stronger integration lead the huge new horizon.
