a press conference with the mayor of the local area live. and he said that they will c.c.t.v. image there is all they said tack and that there was only one person in the vehicle that hasn't been confirmed by the police but we understand that the person's face or couldn't be seen in that c.c.t.v. imagery but now this attack happened at around eight am local time here in paris and it's when a call that i understand again from reports from a local man who says he saw the event took place that it was a b.m.w. car and it was rammed into soldiers as they were changing live got here this barracks on literally just a bomb find me behind the apartments and what we understand is that six soldiers who are injured in that including the we see were seniors but we have confirmed none of facing right. now in the hospital receiving treatment for those injuries as i mentioned that the man of the local area because this is just outside
7:03 am
the town hall says he saw the events that took place this morning this is what he. said there were a dozen officers at the entrance at seven fifty seven in the morning when a car which was parked at the end of the road rammed into the mid speed while they were approaching their vehicle. they did not choose the location by jobs there are many police officers and the cameras are everywhere on the video we can see the attacker and how the attack took place the place is symbolic just as the eiffel tower or perish airport or not they came to this town where anti terrorist forces are doing a remarkable job. well that's a reference that to why this specific location may have been chosen is because this is where the main intelligence agency and is also a staging point for soldiers is the soldiers that have been assigned to protect prominent sites here in paris as it is under
7:04 am
a state agency and has been under state of emergency since november two thousand and fifteen that follows that night of kootenay to terror attacks here in the city in november of that year and since and france has been subjected to a number of a severe terror attacks and just this year the city has seen a number of smaller terror attacks no less prominent in terms of the amount of fear that they create now it has not yet be confirmed that this particular incident was a terror attack but we have heard from the a.p. news agency that the paris prosecutor's office is investigating this and is pursuing charges he says of attempted murder of security forces in connection with a terrorist enterprise and as i mentioned paris has been subjected to a number of small scale attacks over the last last few months starting in february when a man wielding a machete tried to attack a group of four soldiers
7:05 am
a few weeks after that there was an attack at all the airport one of the main airports in the city and then off that that a policeman was shot dead on the show. during another attack and then there was another attempt on the day just a few weeks again off that that the president back on has said that he. and the state see here in france by november of this year whether that is possible given that we seem to be getting these small scale attacks every few weeks remains to be seen. thanks very much charlotte charlotte n.c. for us there in paris well as we heard the soldiers who were attacked on wednesday morning were part of operation center know the extra security brought in after a series of terror attacks in france two years ago.
7:06 am
or form a m i five intelligence officer and he suspects the attacker in this latest incident is already known to the authorities. this stuff is a passing of isis and spies attacks against the security services in france so there's a high probability suggests that this is one such thing. just as a high position is well start is the case this person will already be known to the security agencies we've seen time after time after time with all the attacks across europe over the last couple of years that every one of the perpetrators has already been on the radar security agencies and because they drowning in the data that they're giving up about all of this they're not targeting the people it should be under act investigation. north korea is now threatening to strike the
7:07 am
u.s. territory it is after president trump strongly worded warning to north korea's leader over missile tests and nuclear threats north korea. make it work rich to the united states. they will be met with fire and fury. like the world has never seen before trying to make that rather explosive statement well the washington post actually published an article claiming that their reporters have read this latest u.s. defense report which says that north korea has managed to build these small nuclear warheads a small enough to fit inside missiles so rather alarming information but this washington post article well they did not present any sort of evidence to prove how they managed to get their hands on this on this document and despite that the story's been picked up by the american mainstream media has been widely reported and here's a sample of what those reports are like now confirming a u.s. intelligence assessment on north korea that was first reported by the washington
7:08 am
post earlier today in the assessment is this that north korea now has a weapon a nuclear weapon that is small enough to fit on a missile u.s. intelligence analysts believe the north could now produce a miniaturized nuclear warhead that can fit inside its missile and north korea become a full fledged nuclear power and may have prosecuted. something the world has been hearing for years the north has successfully developed maybe nuclear warhead now on top of this washington post article things got to a boiling point on cheers day when the u.s. flew to b. one b. bombers over guam with its allies in japan and south korea and after that drill while the president made that statement saying that he's respond to threats from north korea with fire and theory and that prompted pyongyang to release a statement saying that they are considering striking the u.s. base in guam now bear in mind that is true i mean throughout the years and also this year alone north korea has conducted numerous missile tests which angered the international community but at the same time the u.s.
7:09 am
is also increasing its military presence significantly in the region we're talking about sending an air carrier is conducting regular military drills setting and troops and also fighter jets to the region and in terms of rhetoric while president obama has long been quite aggressive towards north korea and some would even go as far as saying that he's been provoked here's a sample of the u.s. officials have commented on north korea in the past the year of strategic patience . with the north korean regime has failed. many years that it's failed united states is prepared to use the full range of our capabilities to defend ourselves and our allies one of our capabilities lies with our considerable military forces this is a little appear should a nation if you compare it to our capabilities they don't come near to being even close to a competitor or the chance that we could and. having a major major conflict with north korea. absolutely tensions are higher than ever
7:10 am
as gone way beyond just a war of words china and russia have been calling on all sides to remain calm and to seek a political solution to all of this and meanwhile australia and new zealand who are countries that are countries in the asia pacific region also u.s. allies and they could suffer greatly if a conflict is to break out on the korean peninsula they have also come out to weigh in on what they thought about trump's latest statement because i think the comments that are not helpful and foreign minister retains everyone wants to avoid military confrontation the global community led by the security council including trauner and russia. all united in seeking to bring the maximum economic pressure on north korea to bring them to their senses without conflict have to wait and see whether trump will take their advice but certainly the escalating tensions on the korean peninsula has got a lot of people worried. emily sue the trump stark warning from north korea has
7:11 am
also unnerved capitol hill u.s. congressman eliot engel called the remarks reckless adding that trumps undermining not only american security but is also putting its allies in danger former cia officer jack rice told us the aggressive exchange between the u.s. and north korea is the last thing the world needs but this can't be is an ego fight and right now what it felt like was a fight between trump on one side and kill on the other and to see who could make more outlandish statements and the fear is that if somebody flinches if somebody screws up there could be hundreds of thousands of dead people here this is a very real fight this is shockingly dangerous and the last thing we need to do is stand down and started bumping chests and talk about who's the bigger man. now wiki leaks is offering a job to a google engineer who was sacked over an internal corporate memo on the web giant's move has sparked a debate over free speech in corporations wiki leaks editor june sanch accused
7:12 am
google of censorship and tweeted that it's not fair to fire employees for freely expressing their thoughts and genea james de moore was fired after sending a memo criticizing google's diversity policies his bosses say that breached a code of conduct. looks now what was in that memo. in corporate boardrooms across america the buzz word is meritocracy ideology isn't supposed to matter employees are supposed to be hired judged and promoted based on their skills and ability however the high tech firm known as google seems to be straying from this free market ideal and now employees can be fired if they step away from the liberal social justice party line they recently fired an employee and sent out this memo portions of the memo violate our code of conduct and crossed the line by advancing harmful gender stereotypes in our workplace so what is it that he said what stereotypes was he promoting well here are the fatal words i'm simply stating
7:13 am
that the distribution of preferences in the pollutes these men and women differ in poets you to biological causes and that these differences may explain why we don't see equal representation of women in tech and leadership now those are fighting words as far as some people are concerned and the guy is not going to win any popularity contests to be fair by having a top employee make comments like this google opens itself up to the danger of lawsuits and allegations of discrimination in hiring but is there an ideological criteria for working at google let's take a look at where some of this thought crime logic leads. google won't fix john with unconscious bias training when they keep employing people who are proud of their conscious bias honestly if no one is fired over this google should just admit the commitment to women is window dressing the article is publicly supported by many people internally that's the question how many privately supports agree or
7:14 am
subscribe there are many people who google who share this guy's views they do pit performance reviews and interview people they discriminate yes the usa heralds itself as the land of the free and the home of the brave but on certain college campuses in silicon valley and in other parts of the country there's an atmosphere brewing where if you have the wrong political opinions or cultural views there can be very harsh consequences. r.t. new york. well the opposite ends of the spectrum legal analysts lionel and journalist mark synovate shared their thoughts on google's move. what kind of idiot would decide. google to basically slam diversity to refer to women in particular you know most of descriptions which might under some. interpretation of human behavior might be considered valid but to others patently offensive what is google supposed to do this fellow who wrote the memo he will
7:15 am
never work in a normal corporation or a big corporation ever again in america a what he stabbed was basically one interpretation that women were inferior. based upon a variety of reasons and rationale which i'm sure makes sense and by the way he may be now the darling of the right right the libertarian right whatever you want to call them the memo in fact most people reporting on it never read it the thing that i read it was quite sound quite sane it was temperate he even said that nothing in this memo means that we should respect everybody we should respect everybody and then google went around and fired him and showed him that the left does not respect anybody who has independent thought the problem is not that we don't understand what the problem is that this is a sensitive to people what google then has to do is address the other workers as they were to me i must fended by this do you endorse this when you don't have

7:19 am
a human story it had nothing to do with politics i was really amazed at how the us media machine operates on july eighth the new york times sent me a request for comment they asked me to reply to a list of questions i was surprised by many questions relating to the trump jr meeting i was not even able to recall the exact date because it seemed like a passing meeting it did not lead anywhere there was no outcome so i sent a detailed reply to the new york times and surprisingly in their post on july eighth they only publish small extracts from my statement only what they needed now that same piece looks completely different on their website it has been thoroughly revised there is a huge difference from the original article that was published on july eighth to me it looks like an orchestrated story but whole scandal over my meeting with donald trump jr has been carefully orchestrated and blown out of proportion we have come so close to the truth of how russian budget funds were stolen and that affair i
7:20 am
just happened to be on the front line so to speak and i challenge mr brown to publicly he invented all of this he and nobody else he and his team set it all up it is extremely difficult to find a smarter media manipulator than bill browder. mention their american finance able browder emerged as a central player in the scandal between the taliban and its guy and donald trump jr and even testified before a u.s. senate committee leaked state department e-mails reveal that browder had long been gathering information personal details about some that scar she believes that he then ramped up his public vendetta after losing a court battle three months ago against the russian known date in cyprus which she was. think. of money laundering but the case was settled and the firm was clear that the people but i think that brad himself was a pawn in someone's hands because this story has proven to be gold for so many that
7:21 am
it was gold five years ago when it made the very first russia sanctions act happen and it's gold now especially now is gold for the present day tabloids for politics and the mass media with its anti trump frenzy. over the news now turkey is gearing to open its largest overseas military base in the african country of somalia but it might not get a warm welcome from some of the other nations who have a presence there to india today explains now somalia's attraction to foreign militaries. the horn of africa has seen a surge in foreign military bases china has agreed to open its first there and it's capturing the imagination of film directors on the big screen. they say violence never solves anything. be sure it's fun to. let you know you might not.
7:22 am
one hot spot is djibouti it's currently housing americans japanese and french troops but it's not the only country welcoming foreign militaries turkey is due to open its largest overseas military base in somalia the united arab emirates there in somalia two after they agreed a thirty year lease for a base in the self-proclaimed state of somaliland so the burning question is why why the influx what are they doing there to confront terrorism and piracy working to central command to ensure that the civilian shipping lines have not lax their security to a point that terrorists will not enjoy good food is it helping well the problem still remains peristyle attacks ordinated attack underway in the somali capital of mogadishu there have in the last month been for five maybe six. attacks here in the region military spokesperson says if you are

a service member has been killed in somalia for the first time a new bloodshed in somalia a car bomb exploding near a police station a recent example saw a luxury cruise ship or the holiday makers to switch off lights and refrain from playing music for ten days due to the threat of pirates in the region so the question is why such a significant increase in military presence africa affairs expert joins from believes the world powers are turning the continent and the latest theater of military confrontation. now we're seeing africa again being the center ground for the new verge of proxy war i would call it because all these different countries which are priming the military bases on the african is a huge worry china is already having a military base of its own excuses that it's alternately wants to protect its own investment which we know it has the americans have similar bases not to mention the europeans all seem to have a huge stake and wanting to show that they. might show their muscles and their
