this barry serious problem had not actually been addressed what will that investigation into the chemical industry secrets revealed. this week but. there were. a manhunt underway after a car plows into a group of soldiers in paris injuring several anti terror police are investigating . also this president from power and fury against north korea which then threatens to strike u.s. territory. and google's decision to sack an employee for criticizing its diversity policy sparks of free speech he gets a job for wiki leaks the russian noir embroiled in the collusion scandal with donald trump's team explains its lucidly to see why her story is being exploited by the mainstream media whole scandal over my meeting with donald trump jr has been
8:01 am
carefully orchestrated and blown out this story has proven to be gold for so many. fellow beckons you live from moscow you watching our internationals could have a company this sound our top story french counterterrorism prosecutors are now investigating an attack on soldiers near their barracks in a north paris suburb this morning six troops were injured three of them seriously charlotte dubinsky reports while a manhunt is now underway in paris as security forces and police try to locate the perpetrator behind this attack now what we know is that it happened at eight o'clock this morning six soldiers as they were leaving the barracks which are just behind me were injured in that incident three. we have been seriously injured
8:02 am
although we have been told none of them face life threatening injuries they are now being treated in hospital for those injuries now the mayor the local mayor all over this area with this is passe has said that he thinks this attack was deliberate and actually witnessed it this morning this is what he saw. 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 charms 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 parish airport or not they came to this town where anti terrorist forces are doing their remarkable job. the paris prosecution office has opened an investigation into this case and they are pursuing charges of attempted murder of
8:03 am
security forces in connection with a terrorist enterprise but it has not yet been confirmed by the authorities that they are in fact treating this as a terrorist attack now one of the reasons why it's been suggested that this place may have been strategically chosen is because it's where the main intelligence agency and it's also a staging point for soldiers who were assigned to protect from the sites here in paris. now paris is no stranger to attacks it's been under a state of emergency for the whole of france has been under a state of emergency since november two thousand and fifteen when there were those
8:04 am
coordinated attacks here in the city and since then frances seen a number of large scale terror attacks a person of my color has said that one of his aims in his first year the presidency is to lose that state emergency by november of this year whether that's plausible or not remains to be seen. ok well let's get the thoughts now brought to graze a former british police fire arms consultant and now all for good afternoon to roger roger let's just start with what happened early this morning because it's understood this attacker was able to lie in white for several hours before launching his attack against those soldiers did that surprise you that he wasn't a challenge to talk. well it does mean you need to know the exact details of what went on if there are a concentration of patrols in our heart and awareness in that particular area it's difficult to see how they could've missed this individual on the other hand you're
8:05 am
doing that somebody here and that becomes obvious who has given this a great deal of thought it was either researched the area or has been well informed to boy some background force in order to be i would destroy them in this why so you know perhaps he's covertly concealed a vehicle perhaps he has used some. to make it look like he had some right to be there ali these things will come out when for the reverse take isis take place but on the face of it yes they should really of picked him up. with regards to the situation now roger this man is on the run still at large how much of a wider threat could he posed do you think. well i think now that he's struck in the first place it is it does given the opportunity to strike randomly at any target he chooses which makes the infinitely difficult to deal with him but of course he has brought himself to the knowledge of the french or thora to hopefully
8:06 am
you have got some c.c.t.v. perhaps to get some idea of what he looks like is our news unlikely to use the same vehicle again but on the other hand if he has some card issuers shortlived intent which of course sadly is common amongst these people then perhaps you really won't care we've just got to wipe to see what's written on the next page we really don't know river a very difficult situation throughout the world in all the cities of the world where you're dealing with attacks of this current france has been in a state of emergency roger hasn't it since november of twenty fifteen following those horrific attacks in paris. has that massive layer of security that's been added since then actually made the country safer g. think because we have seen a number of terror attacks since then saying. well i think it they seem to be favoring. the target of choice nowadays but you know you are in i know when situation here really because you must put security forces on the street to be seen
8:07 am
to be acting in opposition to the threats of the country but in so doing as is demonstrated here you're also providing them with any number of targets you know if they're not of the specific buildings they're not after particular individuals who are prominent in public life or who attack the security forces themselves it becomes a very very difficult thing to deal with one of the books i wrote touches upon this quite strongly and i don't know if there is a complete also of think we're going to see more of this really quite how we're going to defend ourselves and our forces against this i don't know ok roger look good to talk she thanks me time this afternoon at georgia gray former british police firearms consultant and author thank you. and other news north korea is threatening to strike the u.s. territory after president trump strongly worded warning to north korea's leader over a missile test a nuclear threats north korea. make it even worse threats to the united
8:08 am
states. they will be met with fire 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. firming a u.s. intelligence assessment on north korea that was first reported by the washington post earlier today and 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
8:09 am
a miniaturized nuclear warhead that can fit inside its missile and north korea become a full fledged nuclear power it may have crossed a key threshold something the world has been fearing for years the north has successfully developed many nuclear warhead now on top of this washington post article things got to a boiling point on choose 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. 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
8:10 am
obama has long been quite aggressive towards north korea and some would even go as far as saying that he's being provocative here's a sample of how 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 yet 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 as gone way beyond just a war of words china russia has 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
8:11 am
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 translate a statement because i think the comments that 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. that was anything that will trump stark warning for north korea has unnerved capitol hill as well u.s. congressman eliot engel called the remarks reckless adding that trump undermining not only american security but is also putting its allies in danger well let's get
8:12 am
the thoughts of director of the china national association of international studies . he joins this is the name victor welcome to our sea in your opinion is trumps latest red thank you worsening the situation. definitely i think president trumps rhetoric calling for war and calling for destruction calling for unprecedented fire and fear is the wrong message to say by the u.s. president at this time and this is definitely the wrong thing to do if the united states eventually does make up its mind to do a war with d.p. r. k. and i think international leaders including the president of the united states should be consistent in their messages you cannot have the president of the united states warmongering against d p r k where as the us secretary of state is calling d p r k not an enemy of the united states and the do not have any desire to
8:13 am
do change in d p r k it will be the time for the united states to be more consistent in its message and really join the international community using peaceful means diplomacy sanctions for example to create a situation where deep dark eventually will have no other choice but to give up its nuclear weapon launching a war against d.p. r. k. at this moment will be a disaster both for d p r k but also eventually for the united states we want peace and we do not want to have war how close are we to conflict then do you think. and i think. there does not need to be military conflicts involving the korean peninsula. people in this part of the region really cannot afford to have another catastrophe in the form of a war or a total war on the peninsula however whether there will be a war or martes in this particular case very much depends on the final decision of
8:14 am
the president of the united states i don't think anyone here in this part of the region china or japan or russia for example including p.r. care as well as the republic of korea want to have a war no one wants to see any loss of life to say nothing about the president did fire and fury we do not need to have this word and we urge on the u.s. president to exercise his maximum restraint and caution and use all his wisdom rather than the rhetoric of calling for war what is the solution then it's a complicated situation but as you see it what would you like see done. and i think all the countries including the united states china russia and japan and south korea etc we need to be on the same page we cannot talk about war one day and talk about peace the other day we need to because sr and in our message projected towards d p r k on the other hand i think countries like china the united
8:15 am
states and russia japan etc we need to close ranks rather then for example whenever there is a change for better or for worse you just point your accusing finger at your partners for example the united states should stop china stop pointing a finger against china building up a link about whatever there is the problem of d.p. r. k. in terms of its nuclear program launch vehicle program with china u.s. trade that's ridiculous that's really really indulge in fun to see because you are turning a good ally a good partner a good counterpart in terms of trade and economic relations into a potential friction point therefore i think i urge all the united states to mature up and grow up and really become a leader of the world rather then it becomes a frederick in terms of deal with such great matter important involving peace and stability in the world or i think to look we were not a time going to have to wrap it up there but good to get if they think to gather it
8:16 am
8:17 am
well. according. again that wiki leaks is offering a job to a google engineer he was sacked over an internal corporate memo the web giant's move has sparked a debate over free speech in corporations wiki leaks said it's a genius sanch accused google of censorship and tweeted that it's not fair to father employees for freely expressing their thoughts but engineer james de more
8:18 am
was fired after sending a memo criticizing google's diversity policies his bosses say that breached their code of conduct as more. 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 that the distribution of preferences not bullets he's men and women differ in poets you to biological causes and that these
8:19 am
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 begs the question how many privately supports agree or subscribe there are many people google who share this guy's views they do pit performance reviews and interview people they discriminate yes the usa heralds itself as the
8:20 am
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 at the opposite end of the spectrum legal analyst lionel and journalist mark son of 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 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.
8:21 am
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 people criticize i read my wife. 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 tendency of two people what google then has to do is address the other workers who say wait a minute i'm a fan did buy this do you endorse this when you don't have actual evidence that you're being the victim of sexism but you want to believe a victim and become
8:22 am
a victim then you find evidence whether it's. the russian oil at the center of the collusion scandal when donald trump's team has been giving more details about the pressure she faces from the president's opponents and the u.s. media last month the town of us in its sky was dragged into the rat claims that russia into feed in the us election for meeting with the president. we all know her name now and tell us about sky italia vessel in that sky natalia vessel needs sky and italia the sound of sky up natalia vessel night sky i. have to wake up one morning and find you know the focus all from all the high ranking stream media. i don't know what to think it turns out it was nothing whether interview will be
8:23 am
airing here or not enough time to us and it's got a spoken in depth about how she's being treated by the media. my story has nothing to do with politics i did not really care who would be in power the republicans or democrats i do not care about how the situation is unfolding today mine was 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 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
8:24 am
revised there is a huge difference from the original article that was published on july eighth to me it looks like an orchestrated story the 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 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 well the man she mentioned there merican financier bill browder emerged as a central player in the scandal between a tally of us and its guy and donald trump jr rush and even testified before us senate committee leaks state department e-mails reveal that browder had long been gathering information and personal details about this and that skier she believes he then ramped up his public vendetta after losing a lengthy court battle three months ago against the russian owned real estate firm
8:25 am
in cyprus which she was representing. it's of money laundering but the case was settled and the firm was cleared. but i think that brough to himself as a pawn in someone's hands because this story has proven to be gold for so many 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. 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 with more on that is they do it cheaper. 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
8:26 am
never solves anything. be sure it's fun to. look don't have a no. one hotspot 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 with 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 attacked ordinated attack underway in the somali capital of
8:27 am
mogadishu there have in the last month been four 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 in iraq to do their you watching r.t. thanks be company will be back in half an. if. that was am
8:28 am
8:29 am
just i don't hide oh i lost his boss because. we sources you know going to answer any of those in person but the pressure on us i don't mean that has been. so nice as you know but i was you know. you know just i mean most people have spent a lot of the media. i mean the lord. has been up as well i must say i mean really he was i just don't get off on his english but those were the oaths they speeded to sound those people are going to respond on one of this part of what they say does this whether this one of these on. my side and we fancied you could a credible but you suspect that already yes it will be and he thought of getting out there calling with you you seem to mean to carry out my thought aloud problem you just got to go you. are.
