and of the original photo why he said i fail and should i should think almost as you fall for all they feel forces for the sad. things. police in finland confirm the last they're now investigating friday stabbing attack in which two people died as terrorism an eighteen year old moroccan suspect is in custody. i i and the other headlines this afternoon a city on edge this tension in barcelona as people there come to terms with the terror a tragedy that left fourteen dead with a killer still at large. why tose loses yet another key figure now chief strategist steve bannon is out in a move is a victory of the establishment over. and. we didn't get any benefit

from the u.s. target civilian housing but we don't target militants stalled progress but increasing casualties the people of afghanistan are growing increasingly angry at the u.s. led campaign delays deciding to do what next in the sixteen year long. afternoon for me kevin i mean just here in moscow now you're watching r.t. international and first breaking news let me bring you up to speed on what's come through in the last hour police in finland within the last hour confirming that indeed now they are treating friday's stabbing rampage which left two people dead as terrorism has told a journalist in the southwest city of it with this attack but thanks for being with

us bring us up to speed. what more was in this police statement. have. while hello everybody behind me we are having the scene of the yesterday's sniper attack the big crowd gathering here and more and more from our saw coming out because people are paying day tribute to the victims of the attack. off an hour ago the finnish police announced that finland actually. had their first there as the terrorist attack because there yesterday stop being had been classified as a terrorist attack. like you said earlier it's an eighteen year old miracle and probably asylum seeker arrived not long ago to the country and the police will actually hold a press conference at two o'clock hearing to a coup where we probably find out more details what we know that yesterday there were two people who died in attacked and eight injured in hospital including the

perpetrator who had been sought by the police during on he's action route and actually the people here behind me are really sad and disappointed and no one actually ever believed that finland good see anything like this on the open street in a peaceful two who indeed it happened thanks for the update jennifer to the seller in to finland where you know me today thanks well that attack in finland came a day off the atrocity in spain the country saw two separate instance those they left a total of fourteen dead and one hundred injured partridges in barcelona where tempers flared soon during and two years and counter-demonstrations was a protest that was a demonstration when you have two sides of the political spectrum from the anti migrant section three of that more left wing and i'm more in favor of a migrant community and met for a demonstration had been effectively almost a call for demonstration in lubbock area outside of

a career which is right in essentially around where where to find it symbolically come to a place. i was i was. it was. to be was meanwhile it was also a particularly poignant time for one particular. he's been caught out not only in the tragic events that i'm done but also at the past such as he a to in paris back in twenty fifty. was painfully familiar you knew immediately what what was going on i was just getting people's reactions but it was strange because no one was asking why any of this had happened no one in the morning started listening to the politicians and reporters on t.v. tell us the same platitudes and of course they they tore into one another blaming

one another for why everyone was clueless about something everyone knew was going to happen before him. i've been working in these immigrant communities and i've been working on jihadi networks all across europe and i thought immediately that it's most likely a moroccan network was interesting because isis had always use spain as this principal. jumping off point for getting recruits into turkey and syria and the question for me is while isis was in control of the attacks were fairly localized but now i ask myself that these networks are starting to pick up on on their own and whether they'll become just more widespread and cross your. yes the fruit seller across from the bar in mumbai in brussels what's going on he

knew a hell of a lot more that was going on than the police but no one seems to be engaged in understanding what is going on in these networks sad son of the times these days that there's more and more cases it seems of the same family sometimes in the same people being exposed to terror attacks in europe as well as the case of scots at trend then who we heard from kate's report is the man just above me said by the chris paul. ali also managing to escape death on last round was just about and there's more there's another survivor julie monaco her name the barcelona attack was her it's hard to take this in third brush with terror i mean the unluck of that we spoke to counterterrorism experts tell me talking a load of says the authorities and the muslim community must take a much tougher stance on extremism. there's no doubt in my mind that we are now going into a new phase of extremism you know being carried out by islamic jihadists i think we

need to change our narrative and the way in which we put these individuals at equal need to be much tougher with them we need to and make them understand humility is not absolute u. conn's to equity moscato equity with clean hands and this individuals who are not get away with this barbaric act that they're carrying out i think we need to start becoming more aware i think there is more that could be done by the muslim community in trying to rain down some of the individuals that they had to fire being vulnerable to violence extremism are reporting there to security agencies to the muslim community a factor you know saying that you know this kind of action is not a separate will individuals involved and their parents should be walking out to know to their kids who are carrying out this acts of this story for a minute check out these pictures security cameras capture the moment the advance spread past a shop or last rambus in barcelona terrifying protests trains her in the best they

can to get out the way trying to work out what's happening is a mixtape later claimed responsibility for that atrocity. what some of the trouble this weekend this is the latest donald trump's chief strategist steve bannon is leaving the white house even before donald trump took office but i was seen as a key figure in his team however he spent only six months of the end as the president's chief strategist a white house statement explained the decision for balance departure was a huge issue or one he'll now return to being the executive chairman of breitbart news one commentator we spoke to though doubts that balance exit will help trump in the long run. and it is the one guy in the white house that the deplorable like they know him they like him they admire him and the fact that he's been hated by the media and hated by all the lefties is just the. icing on the cake for these people they will if they like him they and the fact that he's being in that band is being attacked raises him in there and there are. steam so the fact that trump

fired him will hurt trump it's going to i think the white house polling is going to show him after this sinks in to everybody that it's hurt him with his own base it's not something he going to ford by the way does from a political standpoint than is the latest in a long list of losses from trump experts we spoke to think the white house establishment is just pushing out those who try to challenge them. trump is still determined to fight unregulated globalism to preserve the constitution of this country to reform the vast excesses in spending in our government spend six trillion dollars a year all governments inside the united states just on government six trillion dollars is an awful lot of money to be spending on government and he and he embedded others were trying to change that but they came up against i think some globalists the rapid rate to resignations and dismissals in the white house is proving a boon for therapist's as more and more anxious americans seem to heading for the

therapy coach to cope with life these days in the era of trouble. apparently there's this coupling industry i don't know about it's coddling is cool now because you got a rapper in a safe space from president obama here out of the election if you think about it. the university of kansas reminded students therapy dogs.

may be suffering from a trumpet. if you. think simply child. to be happy. talk to your doctor to see if i might write a book that. i think you could do should be treated with less fake news i heavy dose of real news just a dose of reality rather than fiction people need to step. out of their comfort zones and echo chambers and experience real life of real people rather day in being in a day to fake news or fake people. well talking of real news this protest is in the us couple of the statue of a confederate military officer and demanding it be taken. seriously the issue of racially divisive monuments is playing out across the swathe of the country right now after the removal of a similar violent unrest in the city charlottesville and after that

a week ago it seems no historical figure is untouched right and i was finding out not long ago we were out here on the streets of new york they thought that every monument to a slave owner should be demolished even if their founding fathers. did they stop madison avenue. and rename it yeah i think it's fine so if one person is the football that will be by the city you'd be a good idea to take it to. anything that's owned by a slave owner should be changed yeah it should be washington didn't go to war to defend slavery and i think concerts is very important even though we didn't expect people to want to tear down monuments to figures that are almost sacred in american history like george washington or thomas jefferson the idea now seems to be gaining momentum he wasn't protecting my freedom i wasn't someone who my ancestors weren't

deemed human beings to him and so to me i don't care if it's a george washington statue or a thomas jefferson statue or robert e. lee statue they all need to calm down and if those two aren't enough for you how about we try let's blow up mt rushmore that was actually the title of an article from vice media before they changed it to something a little less and say tional but the point was pretty much the same now it's certainly true that george washington and thomas jefferson owned slaves mr president look i think the issue is that you and robert e. lee both own slaves right there was about. that was right yeah but if you want talk about owning slaves you should talk about thomas jefferson whoa. abraham lincoln certainly did not own slaves he was always an outspoken opponent of slavery which he ended up abolishing in the context of a civil war now you would think he wouldn't be a target for anger but the people who did this certainly think he is this type of actions should have been taken then perhaps fifty years ago with the civil rights

movement because i mean at the time if you're talking about slavery and racism and think it is all about black people and you know attacking people on minorities but i am completely against the fact that we're going to go now and try to destroy monuments like you are like you know becoming an isis terrorist group and i think this is whole situation has been created by certain media outlets like for example c.n.n. that they have you know pushed down on the narrative on the fact that you know that trump is a race is so that everybody that supported trump is a racist or even going further that every single white person is races and i'm completely against this we're going to launch a full scale war against history you should probably expect that there's going to be collateral damage to the mob and artsy new york coming up patience is wearing thin for the people of afghanistan have enjoyed sixteen years now long war on counting the u.s. presidents make them wait even longer to for a strategy that will tell you about. when

else should seem wrong why don't we just don't call. me. yet to shape out the state becomes active. and engaged equals betrayal. when somebody find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. tanks that's a seventy billion dollars potential loss and you point out it's mostly private investors which would include let's say goldman sachs and others but if these folks i could almost sack suffer any losses at all remember they've taken are the government for a bailout so they could go to the government say over blew up we need a bailout and the government because it is staffed by goldman sachs employees. they

will rubber stamp that bailout and then to pay for the bailout they have to go into people's pension accounts and they have to grab that money or wells fargo and go into your personal account and grab that money. straight to the afghans are growing increasingly uneasy over the u.s. led military campaign in the country saying the civilian deaths and destruction the yielding few results in the fight against isis. can you see that damaged house they dropped the mother bombs in that area we didn't get any benefit from the u.s. they target civilian houses but they don't target. they say the operation is to finish but in fact they don't most of it something that the target. was learned

straight groups are active. when the u.s. and afghan commandos came here they first drop the mother of all bombs in the area in the last six months they only captured a one kilometer area from islamic state militants we don't know what the problems were why they didn't advance if i had two hundred coaches with a hundred armed men i could clear this valley and he's in a matter of hours but they didn't do it. and that doesn't look to be any end in sight either any time soon with donald trump again deferring making a decision on how to try and turn the tide in america's longest war from washington his jacqueline. america's war in afghanistan has been ongoing for sixteen years and seen three different presidents come and go on my orders the united states military has begun strikes against al qaeda terrorist training camps and military

installations of the taliban regime and afghanistan i know that many of you have grown weary of this conflict. as you are well aware i do not support the idea of endless war given what's at stake in afghanistan i am firmly convinced that we should make this extra effort. seventeen years or longer stores it's a very big decision for me took over a mess and we're going to. make it a lot less messy the results while even u.s. generals have a rather bleak outlook on the progress made or not but understand it's my responsibility we're not winning in afghanistan right now mr chairman i believe we're in a stalemate at this point u.s. casualties in afghanistan are approaching the same numbers as the victims of the nine eleven attack the tragedy that triggered the u.s. campaign the taliban still controls a significant part of the country and is making efforts to expand its influence investing in afghan forces at this point doesn't seem justifiable so far little has

been achieved a new strategy settled on so what is team trump doing about it we know what the strategy was for the last eight years don't lose that hasn't worked when can we expect the congress united states to get a strategy for afghanistan that is a departure from the last eight years which is don't lose well on friday the president has national security team were moving over the options and according to some reports trump has option a and b. one boots on the ground preferred by military officials hoping a strategy to break this stalemate and is it going to require additional u.s. troops and do believe it will involve additional forces to ensure that we can. make the advise and assist mission more more effective or move out of afghanistan altogether and let private contractors help local afghan forces either way the u.s. defense secretary has indicated a decision is imminent we will move this toward

a decision as i said i think it was yesterday publicly we are coming very close to a decision and to spend it in the very near future so for now we all just have to wait on the edge of our seats to see which way the american troops rollercoaster will roll this. up or down doesn't go far to washington d.c. . in other news the u.s. state department says numerous countries including china and iran violate religious freedom from an annual report on the issue but those singled out of fighting but saying america has no moral right to judge them so mccann reports from the beginning america has been a place that is cherish their freedom of worship sadly many around the globe do not enjoy this freedom donald trump said out his goal to defend religious freedom around the world and the first trump era report on the issue has been released by the u.s. state department revealing religious freedom in over two hundred different countries and territories however it seems like not every country is ready to just sit

quietly and accept washington's latest assessment the report included china as a violator of religious freedoms but beijing has urged the usa to deal with its own issues everyone has seen that the facts prove the united states is not totally perfect we urge the united states to respect the facts and probably manage its own affairs and stop using the wrong means of the so-called religious freedom issue to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries same report also tax the iranian government for continuing to harass terror gate and arrest religious minorities and for imposing harsh restrictions on its citizens iran's supreme leader then took to twitter to criticize america for not focusing on other more pressing affairs. if u.s. has any power they better manage their country tackle of white supremacy rather than meddle in nation's affairs washington however insists its mission is to be a moral conscience for the rest of the world and that's on exaggeration it's an

actual quote from america's u.n. ambassador united states is the moral conscience of the world we will not walk away from this role there are some people naive people in the united states who actually believe that they're doing a favor to the rest of the world but i think to a large degree yes it is a mechanism through which the americans convince their own people and themselves that they are somehow superior embracing the role of the world's moral compass the u.s. is pointing its finger pretty much all around the globe from venezuela to india but given the division and racial tension inside america at the moment we just have to wonder how many more countries are going to tell washington to mind its own business samir khan r.t. washington d.c. . the syrian army's advancing on the embattled city of dear resort which has been besieged by eisel three years and it's taken a crippling toll on the city and its people to.

this public park was one of the most beautiful parks in this neighborhood it was full of trees. receding hunger lots of the trees have gone and we now bury our dead here local just can't get outside the city to bury those killed by ice all showing. the terrorists have burying our dead in cemeteries and snipers are positioned along the roads. it's not only this park others too are all bare and have been turned to decentralize. francis to play in the swings in the park but they were destroyed in the shelling. technology news of movie technology gone wrong you can decide how to go into

a computer user cause some degree of id you skills were not in the just a future it seems it could just mean a bit of d.n.a. is enough to do it i'll tell you more us researches have created the synthetic d.n.a. strand into which they say they can insert a malicious program and they use it to take over a computer for the first time and the computer then tries to code it it releases malware it takes a special machine to do it and it's not something you like to fail to get home thankfully but. it's a slippery path to start to go down. it's just an interesting think the procedure at least logically it's not very complicated but we should look at the big get out of date debate good old each debt our lives human lives our identity and it juiced to a series of thought more or less so we are effectively entering some kind of a post-human universe where every think our innermost identity and be

reduced to a far more doubt that it was possible to break into a computer through a dean d.n.a. means that our brain it didn't mean by d.n.a. it's nothing more than just that a computer far more life. let me before i go this far imagine our breaking news story police in finland have confirmed the now investigating friday stabbing rampage as an act of terror and terrorism that's the key word there two people were killed and eight injured in a market square in the city of turku on friday the suspect was shot in the leg by officers and is now in custody in hospital it's an eighteen year old moroccan citizen who was known to the police apparently for this story and so many more at r.t. dot com our site and across other platforms as well below the rest of the news this weekend from us and kevin are in the next live news updates from r.t. h.q. moscow just about half an hour's time with me.

welcome to right ok are already all right and when i get back one employer match.

oh hi there i'm max guy this is the guys report hey you know our unit and i bring it over right now. well you know has

been in the news many many many times of the past few years because it's disinter mediating the whole taxi space taxi medallions are crashing and price all over the world from new york city to chicago i don't think they have medallions in london or places like that but it's certainly messing up that situation over there they've had loss after loss after loss after a loss they seem to be a loss making operation part of that is in order to basically become a monopoly in the city so they've been losing billions of dollars it's not a publicly listed company but there are a lot of big investors like goldman sachs throwing billions of dollars at them to create a global monopoly but here is the latest in their debacle of losing money and you know fair enough it's only goldman sachs's money so i guess though goldman sachs will have to defraud some granny somewhere to pay for these losses but gets run over by its own subprime auto leases last year last three billion dollars they

also lost their c.e.o. in the past few months and two years ago however when these folks launched the subprime auto leasing program to put their badly paid drivers and new vehicles they couldn't otherwise afford they apparently did not do the math remember they started a program called exchange leasing because they were having a problem they were growing fast but they didn't have enough drivers with good cars to drive everybody who wanted a nuber well on july twenty fifteen when the exchange leasing program was announced the company gushed we're excited about how these new solutions we drivers unique needs and offer more and better choices and greater flexibility than ever before their actual pitch from this exchange leasing program with a new ber at that time then goes on to say.
