the news broke out that. town of stuart who has been attacked by three people running on the streets knifes and hurting people and stabbing people interesting it is that according to disagree to finish newspaper feeding the television actually to toss the man a bear shouting allah akbar just holler for me to go and i have a nest posted a video on a finnish website where dark skinned people were running with baseball bats around the scene but the facts will happen into a coup was that several people have been stopped by the knife on the open street police went in the heavy forces and emergency services also. people were asked to stay at home shopping mall and the library in downtown to who had been closed down and then. preparedness all at the airports had been raised

in terror minister is on vedanta to according to finish government and the president currently hosting holding a emergency meeting what we know according to eyewitnesses there at least five people have been one person had to be shot on the leg and captured by police. this is also. say in finnish media that there were several bullets fired in downtown two who at least three people three people have been have a level indeed ok and in terms of just the failing in a kind of a nine this must come as a great shock for many people wishing the plague. absolutely i mean the finnish papers are also reporting about the barcelona is sudan everybody's talking about what happened in a south spain and interesting it was that the finnish pauli sent a secret service just mentioned today's in today's articles that day they're

preparing for avoiding similar type of attack with the van but it's also important to say for the viewers that about one month ago the finnish security service has been announcing that finland terrorists level alert level has been race. we here in finland would not be expecting a large scale of terrorist attack but rather nice attacked or even than attacked and if the today's case is called firming this it's the set truth we do not have a call for mission to finish police is keeping a press conference about nine hundred hours finish time it's a one hundred dollars european time about the event. ok we'll listen for that we'll leave it there for you very much of a. local journalist in finland thank you and we should just underline the fact that even though there are reports the attacker there in that stabbing him and shouted.

god is great in arabic that is unconfirmed at this stage will keep you updated. and i mean maher spanish police say the suspects in the country's deadliest terror atrocity in over a decade were planning an even bigger attack on thursday night a van which driven into crowds in the popular tourist area of glass that i'm blast in barcelona killing thirteen people and then hours later a car a car crashed into a group of people in the resort town of cambria less leaving one dead islamic state has claimed responsibility a word of warning the video her back to show you is highly disturbing. i come down here the van was coming down the rambler and i was completely unaware of that. until it was pretty much alongside me and at this point i saw everyone from the. start running and i heard it from my music when it was so close to me you know. i

think i i. just panicked like everyone everyone ran you know no one no one kind of knew what to do. i was next to it when it stopped and i didn't. know fifty to fifty feet behind me there were people people lying face down like sort of videos off the woods and it was a nice to watch. it's pretty. ok well let's look at this map say have events unfolded in

barcelona yesterday at around five pm local time a van was driven into the popular pedestrian i street of loud ambler that was packed with tourists at the time and then traveled about five hundred meters this way until finally stopping at the central square was at that point the driver then fled on foot and he still at large with more from barcelona is kate partridge behind me. they have right in the heart of that around that they started to lay a makeshift memorial to think that the message of this one was really really sadly written which was we remember the innocence. and that summed up the mood of somber it was the people laying their tributes there teddy bears believes flowers and candles. nothing like that ever happened to me i hope we'll find the perpetrators and everything will be all right unbelievable if you go back to the rubble of so many people are here and it's like normal life but. put. some

candles on this this place is. a roof everywhere but i feel incredibly lucky and we do consider that law just continues shopping it's just so nice to be out there we just i don't know we'll go back and catch up with a lot of the friends and that decision was just for show and just copley that we did that and we would miss this incident but now that i'm there are starting to go back to how exactly it was before there is a normality is there was before police have taken away the tapes that was along the size that we first saw me first came here and the businesses particularly all the cabin sort of always being here and now starting to open up people are coming in for tourists arriving weaving their suitcases almost in an act of defiance in many ways you can't believe that this actually was a crime scene and it was a scene of a terrible tragedy but there are barcelona is now trying to get back to some semblance of normality but with

a slightly somber feeling of respect for the dead and a memory for what happened here only a day ago. meanwhile four people are currently in police detention three of them are of moroccan origin one of them the spanish earlier media reports suggested that seventeen year old. was a main suspect although police do not say that's not the case and they haven't been able to identify the driver of that yet. well the second incident as we mentioned took place in the resort town of cambria was about one hundred thirty kilometers south of barcelona police opened fire. fire in a car after it failed to stop for a security check seven people before all five attackers inside the vehicle were shot dead one of the victims later died of her injuries since the attacks took place it is a marriage that one family had already been affected by. and walk ins has more.

of a tragic reality of the situation is that this is now such a cross border threat that even families who were vacationing on the consulate find themselves victims of terror attacks multiple times whichever country they travel to on the continent one such example scott atran his daughter was in the theater during the attack in paris twenty fifteen eighteen months on he finds himself in the middle of yet another terrorist atrocity bringing about some very painful memories take a listen to what he had to say because i was just bringing my you're not out yet and didn't know what was going to happen my daughter was in the but. she still she still is very. very broken server so i was staying in a room that we actually spoke to mr atran last year interviewing him after his daughter was involved in the attacks and thoughts of how optimistic he was all of this threat being tackled effectively the threat of terror being utilized in the

european very much was not optimistic saying that there was very little chance things could ever be the same again the big problem is that isis has a unitary message and a unitary and universal appeal and the force of supposing they do not and we don't know really how to handle such a movement now another example of people being caught up in a double jeopardy if you like my interest the resident chris paul he narrowly escaped being caught up in the magistrate arena bombings just a few months ago he actually left the area just seconds before the bomb was detonated he was nearby. oh down dozens of people on the boulevard these attacks are something that we've sat down together and covered sadly many times over the last year to eighteen months or so they've become a pattern across the continent they all bear strikingly deadly similarities minimal planning preparation training equipment is required to carry out these attacks.

now a lot of people have drawn a clear foreign policy link between these attacks. and foreign policy spain whoever is very interesting because of course spain last fall victim back in two thousand and four two is the most terror of the two thousand and four madrid train bombings that the big impact on the election at the time the prime minister the ingoing

prime minister withdrew spanish troops from iraq as a direct result since then they have been no attacks but this really goes to show why so fulfilled their pledge of targeting westerners in every major european city if you remember after the nice attacks of twenty sixteen the prime minister at the time on all files he stated that terror is a new reality in france something people have to learn to live with his comments at the time very much provoked controller see and criticism but what we've seen today really proves that this is not only a new reality in france alone but on the whole of the continent just how safe do people feel now i think many in barcelona in spain indeed in europe will be questioning that in the aftermath of this latest attack. and you hawkins there were some of the experts we've been talking to describe the spate of vehicle attacks is a new reality for europe with people increasingly having to live with the threat of terrorism. i think people have to open their eyes and each week two weeks ago it

was true and you asked me to france this week's faina i think no european country and we're talking about europe but there are similar attacks elsewhere in the mcgrath in the middle east and no country can say it's safe from such an attack today so this is why spread it unfortunately each month we're discovering that this can happen in a new country in a new place in a new town so this is a. good mayor said he had said we had to get used to this the french president read all my cross at the same thing and unfortunately baby seems to be right can you imagine the millions of cars who are running in the streets of the world and have special means for any given location space i think it's extremely difficult if they have arrived on this means that they're on the no on the scene that means that quite well organized part of this is also the center of the most touristic part of barcelona it's very difficult how do you fight how do you stop someone chairing is ramming his van and truck

a vehicle in the crowd this is extremely difficult but they do have to be prepared i think they have to be prepared to arrive on location as quick as possible of course to stop the criminals are the terrorists as soon as possible if they're so alive and of course to bring to evacuate the people to give them medical help to real or not to hospitals and there will be more and more training within the different police as in europe and military of course to react to such attacks because they are becoming more than common three attacks in three weeks. well placed. the attacks in spain to a blast on wednesday night in a house in a small town not far from barcelona it was initially thought to have been a gas leak although police say was a homemade explosive device that destroyed the building you're watching r.t. international are going to be back into me.

most people think just stand out in this business you need to be the first one on top of the story or the person with the loudest voice of the biggest read. truth to stand losing business you just leave the right questions to the right answer. question. seems wrong but. just don't call. me. yet to shape out this day. and in. the trail.

when something you find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground . hello again i the american civil liberties union has hailed a historic victory offer a case involving the cia's torture program was settled it was filed against the psychologists who were eighteen million dollars from developing the agency's so-called enhanced interrogation program because of the status of private contractors the lawsuit was targeting them as private citizens the plaintiffs were to torture survivors and the family of cool phenomenon a man who died in a secret cia prison is how a partially declassified cia report describes what happened to him. treated rahman harshly because of rahman's alleged stature his uncompromising

reaction to the interrogation and lack of cooperation the pressure to break him and lack of experience with a committed interrogation resistor on november two thousand and two ordered or approved the guards placing rahman in the short chain position whereby he was compelled to sit on the concrete floor of his cell raman was only clothed in a sweat shirt the sack directly led to roman's death by hypothermia while the psychologist lawyers claim their clients were public servants whose actions were authorized by the u.s. government they say the actions were legal and done in an effort to protect innocent lives from suspected terrorists in american civil liberties union attorney has said the case sets an important precedent. this is a historic victory for our clients and the rule of law this outcome shows that there are consequences for torture and that survivors can and will hold those responsible for torture accountable it is a clear warning for anyone who thinks they can torture with impunity. we discuss

the implications of the settlement with a former cia analyst and whistleblower john kerry. this is absolutely a precedent for other victims to seek justice of course there are some who i think the cia would fight because their cases are very sensitive but there are so many other people who were sent to slee. torture for no reason people who had no ties to terrorism but were just in the wrong place in the wrong time it's going to enable them to seek justice and to seek monetary compensation frankly i think the cia dodged a bullet here now there is a second case the american civil liberties union has filed a case after that was a beta arguing that the cia and mitchell ingests and tortured it was a beta that case is going to be more sensitive so the cia hasn't really put the issue in its entirety behind it yet we have to wait and see what happens with that

was a bit of my guess is that because the opposite of peace is so much more serious because i was afraid it was the guinea pig of this yes torture program that this yeah they will seek to have that case dismissed. now r.t. is campaigning to help orphans stranded in war torn iraq to find their relatives and return home they were taken there by radicalized parents who joined islamic state we are appealing for family members who might recognize the youngsters to get in touch with some a place to say that some relatives may have been found but many children are still waiting. james closed the film on a little while all of that old. age a bit slow to step to just get. that here boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom it whatever no matter how to.
