6:04 am
have largely lost track. broken by the attacks in paris nice berlin stockholm manchester london and other cities these days unfortunately the wave of international terrorism is brutally hitting us turning barcelona and campbell's into the latest scenes of terrorist injustice here is a little map of recent europe trips undertaken by jihad ists i miss amery runs over almost seventy people in berlin and makes it as far as italy before he's accidentally caught out mud mohammed travelled all the way from greece to france through at least eight european countries with a fake passport before blowing himself up in paris salah adel salam involved in paris attacks that killed and injured need five hundred people traveled through
6:05 am
at least nine. european states before the attack it was on terror watch lists and they eventually found him in belgium often it's been the case that powers that the authorities already had weren't being used but notwithstanding that they then introduced the authorities of the government's new legislation giving new powers to the police and security services notwithstanding that it wasn't any lack of those powers in the first place that led to the intelligence failures and it may well be that that's true here and the same applies to border controls well it remains a possibility in may have crossed the spanish border anybody that knows that border knows as indeed is the case throughout very much of western europe that those borders are extremely porous you can go across as a car in a car in the back of a vehicle or even walk across in some cases they say it isn't punishment that the deters crime it's the inevitability of punishment but thanks to europe's
6:06 am
open borders perspective terrorists can be sure no matter what they always have that chance to slip away. tensions that are right wing running world over in kind of the after a group of racism protesters clashed with police in the city of quebec. god. i thank. god that the. dozens of anti fascist protesters dressed in black threw smoke bombs and firecrackers at police who tried to separate the two rallies the second was a planned right wing event against the moderate policies of the canadian government some of the counter protesters shouted insults at the demonstrators.
6:07 am
i. was. arrested in kind of a follows a week of confrontations in the united states over racism with the latest scuffles in california i saw for twenty people strong rally against illegal immigration was outnumbered by thousands of left wing activists. i i. i. i. of the anti fascist demonstrators planned their rally the day before the america first event still showed up on the following evening too some two hundred police attended the scene in order to keep the peace but two people were arrested a counter protest before pushing a trump supporter and an unidentified person with a knife tensions between america's right and left wing activists have been increasing following the violence in charlottesville where a neo nazi rammed his car into a crowd of protesters. are rallies similar to the ones in california have taken
6:08 am
place across america throughout the week largest in the city of boston right when protesters have faced off with left wingers often resulting in clashes and arrests . one of the side says upped the ante by launching a petition on the white house website calling for an to be declared a terrorist organization nearly one hundred forty thousand people have already signed in just three days ministration now has to issue an official response. to the prospects of violence have forced one canadian university to cancel a discussion on stifling free speech that softer a backlash from the left wing activists on social media they accuse the event of giving a platform to fascists and threaten to disrupt it with a massive rally rice university shut down the discussion citing safety concerns so let's take a look who are the speakers that cause so much outrage among the activists or one of them is professor jordan peterson he's the controversy with the war against political correctness especially when it comes to gender neutral titles and other
6:09 am
was behavioral scientist side he's against the so-called thought police on campuses . it was quite extraordinary that the people who are organizing this protest who were trying to disrupt the event were accusing the speakers myself included of being fascists nazis anti semites what kind of person could actually excuse a person with my background of being a nazi and an anti-semite but in any case ryerson university has canceled the event so on the stifling of freedom of speech on campuses. i'm not sure that i need to say anything else. to other speakers were a conservative journalist and psychologist all right i mean he says opponents through do so at a point at the side of the simply use labels instead of having
6:10 am
a productive discussion. we're not promoting hatred or are promoting fascism bigotry or anything of the sort look at the truth behind the labels is what we're trying to promote so this was a boat trying to compel people to be able to speak up to be able to have again you know on this discussion and civil discourse with people maybe you disagree with we're trying to promote the right way to have these kinds of discussions because it's not working the way it's been going for the last few years so identity politics people have become so simplistic that if you don't fit into this category that they like if you're not with them then you're automatically the enemy today's world if you aren't on the far left you are seen as a nazi. state suffer the mother has significant blow in syria after its convoy was hit by the russian air force according to the ministry of defense well let's get the latest from. joining me in the studio to the details we have about this latest strike then hi again well among the things that islamic state have lost are
6:11 am
several tanks besides this more than two dozen armored vehicles with caliber weapons plus more than two hundred terrorists have been killed in that airstrike now with these figures such an airstrike could definitely count as a success anywhere in syria but in this particular case it is a massive strategic victory i just like to point this out once again because this islamic state called boy was heading to the city of dare as zoar and that is a city that is controlled by syrian government troops but it has been encircled by for over three years and now the russian army are saying that once they can kick out islamic state out of the doors or province and also break that siege this will essentially mean that we're very close to the and of islamic state in syria and the from the we've seen before islamic state they've been losing
6:12 am
a lot of ground level of the country. well as we can see there's a lot of green on that map and when i say this i mean that this black territory just a few weeks ago it was much more massive here to the west of the city of duress or as you can see it is encircled now if we look to the north of the kurds have been making significant gains but here there have been a lot of advance of sorry by the syrian government troops that are backed by the russian airport air force here and this province which is holmes i believe the as i make state has been encircled and these territorial and vance's have been made thanks to some military operations a serious of successful military operations that were carried out by the syrian army again backed by the russian air force.
6:13 am
i mean it was. just. so what the syrian military commanders are now complaining is the day when i saw can be fully kicked out of the dairies or province and as i was saying this will bring us much closer to the end of that terrorist organization in syria bearing in mind how much progress they've made recently that they could be very soon sooner than we think in fact. there with the latest update on the syria advances now
6:14 am
6:15 am
the put themselves on the line. so when you want to be present. to be. before. people. interested always in the water. welcome back to the program the british prime minister to resign may has rejected an appeal by survivors and families of the nine eleven attack victims it would have on in the publication of a u.k. report into the role of saudi arabia in funding islamic extremism. joining us live right now thanks for joining us what do we know about about this
6:16 am
situation. well zero down following a series of appeals actually from campaigners m.p.'s and other politicians here in the u.k. nine eleven survivors now become the latest group to see a refusal from the british government to release the full contents of this quite controversial report focusing on extremist funding in the u.k. this was a report that was commissioned back in two thousand and fifteen and is largely believed to be focused on saudi arabia's activities and now the nine eleven survivors had sent a letter to theresa may demanding answers we respectfully urge you to release the report now finished unfinished we'll show you to consider all the victims of state sponsored saudi finance terrorism and families in the survivors in the u.k. and all over the world the longer saudi arabia's complicity is hidden from sunlight the longer terrorism will continue. well the british government has long maintained
6:17 am
really for months now that diplomatic relations with saudi arabia have nothing to do with this decision to not reveal the contents of the report they've also said that it's actually reasons of national security as well as private information contained in the report that's keeping them from publishing it and they've also said that the media has been misinterpreting this relationship with saudi arabia when it comes to this report let's take a listen to what theresa may had to say on this at some point. bush explained to her refusal is simply because the contents of the report would embarrass the government's friends in saudi arabia or is it because ministers come rather more about arm sales to riyadh than they do about public safety. it is absolutely nothing to do with. there is certain confidential information in the reports that means that it would not be appropriate to publish it but my right shoulder from the home secretary has made it available on the privy council basis to opposition parties well we have to keep in mind that despite the british government and the
6:18 am
home office particularly saying that saudi arabia is not in fact the focus of this secret report and it's in fact something that looks at overseas funding in general criticism really has been running rampant that the british government would have released this report if they had nothing to hide specifically these nine eleven survivors who had sent this letter in the latest plea to see the contents of call this decision of the british government quote shameful really believing that it's a special relationship that the u.k. has long had with saudi arabia this marriage of convenience this cozy relationship that has led the u.k. to decide to not reveal this information again and again we have to say that obviously this is something that the british government denies but does have quite a history of protecting the special relationship they have with saudi arabia indeed associate with the latest update on the classified report. violent clashes erupted in berlin on sunday were anti fascist activists confronted
6:19 am
a near nazi march. with. europe's ultra right groups gathered there to commemorate the thirtieth anniversary of the death of hitler's top. it was a heavy police presence on the streets in a bid to separate the two groups however that didn't prevent impassioned verbal spouts the sending into fist fights. in the streets is not the full extent of the problem recently an investigation was launched in without a geisha is that members of an elite unit of the german army had been given. playing new nazi rock music at a party. has been looking into the story. have you ever heard of germany's special forces command that's right probably not because this is a german special ops team the process to join which the so-called k s k a rigorous only a handful of soldiers are accepted out of hundreds for operations and conflict zones all over the world just recently a young woman came forward in german t.v.
6:20 am
channel claiming that she had been invited to a k. ask a farewell party her task was to police the commander with the prize but it's alleged that chaos broke out nazi salutes were flying all over the room alcohol was being consumed to excesses and even a pig's head was being thrown about all to a backdrop of a german nazi song being blasted out of the speakers a witness we called some of the bricks showing how some feel nostalgic for the once powerful regime we are examining the incident the investigation may eventually be taken over by the stuttgart attorney and to lawful after ensues or symbols have not been confirmed so far headlines about right wing extremism in the ranks of german armed forces have been plaguing its military with some reports suggesting more than twenty five hundred cases have been registered in germany and unnecessary distraction to the many threats it's facing as of now it's nearly as problem is.
6:21 am
digital military is not really a threat and the more. of course you are of the military this is the mob that is not excepted by the majority of people of your country when you were in the military and you are. expected by your friends and by the problem because you're going to take my life very protos you are not really into this and you don't get the best people so they're going to tear it you see the military and it really is a crisis of that's. all that we saw it is simply in the. if you have the bridge. did. you have a lot of mistakes. all over the states that have. tensions running high on the korean peninsula as the u.s. and south korea have started large scale joint war games comes amid continuing
6:22 am
anger from pyongyang prior to the drills north korea threatened a merciless strike and washington of the risk of uncontrollable nuclear war or the only will show force will last for ten days and simulate a military conflict with an isolated country and yang say as the drills practice and invasion while the u.s. maintains their defensive in nature this year more than seventeen thousand american troops are taking part in the drills which involve land sea and air exercises along with computer simulations spike two of the key mediators in the korean crisis russia and china proposing a halt to the war games in exchange for a freeze of pyongyang's missile tests gregory edits from the korea policy institute believes the exercise is a provocation but even mainly current puter relations rather than physical exercise of however one of the simulator simulating war with north korea so that's a provocateur of. step in the. right on north korea of the united states.
6:23 am
very. idea of diplomacy of replier and person. and a performer through it all for with the parent of. threats haven't worked in north korea there for more threats that are needed backwards way of thinking. those military exercises come off north korea earlier said it would hold off on strike citing the next move to washington just take a look at how the recent crisis between pong and washington has been unfolding. stand together. in the months and years ahead with the people of south korea.
6:24 am
this is a very dangerous situation. what is happened in the past when north korea has actually attacked. there's always the take is it time for south korean military naval targets. honesty to attack american forces i mean there would be retaliation again you should ever think of this declared intention to used what could be new. weapons
6:25 am
as an empty threat because it is possible now and it may have been used before i don't think that north korea wants to risk a new wall i mean it would have to be crazy to do so and actually is not at all crazy. let's return now to our breaking news story coming in media reports suggest one person has been killed after a car rammed into people at a bus stop in the french city of must say took place during the morning rush hour it's been reported a thirty five year old man first round his car into a packed bus shelter in the quad rouge area he then drove off after ambulances arrived at the scene and i would say the same car was reportedly seen driving into another bus stop and that's where the fatality occurred one person was also wounded in that incident the driver has been arrested and is currently being questioned by police it's been reported also the driver was known to security services but he
6:26 am
wasn't on the observation we've got no information so far whether the incident is officially being treated as a terrorist incident that people have been warned to avoid the area we'll update you of course on this breaking news story as soon as any more information comes in . as we just said there we are close to following all the developments in the city of will get more details out for you. in the meantime though that will be all from mccarron will be with you at the top of the next hour. the next election will be in twenty twenty under you absolutely i'm not going to be calling a snap election. we are live in downing street where the prime minister is due to
6:27 am
make a significant announcement i have just a meeting of the cabinet where we agreed that the government should cool the general election not the other election. potence accused the prime minister of breaking her word and of pursuing a cynical plan for party political advantage the polls for example showing massive leads for the conservatives much of the media establishment are saying this election is a foregone conclusion campaigning ahead of the u.k. general election was immediately suspended after the attack in manchester there is to be frank far too much tolerance of extremism in our country you need to look at saudi and qatar before moving. in this country a number of polls in the u.k. are showing a large drop in support for prime minister theresa may to reason may changes have a manifesto policy on social care after just four days but insists it's not a u.
6:28 am
turn nothing has changed. nothing has changed the polls are once again the shifting of leaders narrowed considerably it may come down to the scottish national party to be the king makers what was a sure bet from the start of the campaign is now not so obvious let's just go for. not the few. over. twenty seventeen. he's going to be a hung parliament. this is a disaster for me obviously. this is going underground on the green outside the british parliament as u.k. prime minister theresa may makes
6:29 am
a deal with the d u p a political group previously linked to protestant paramilitaries some argue it's like jeremy corbyn and one had become a british prime minister in a coalition with chin fame previously linked to the ira coming up on the show. from you gives nigel farage the boss of britain's biggest union. as well as shadow chancellor john mcdonnell about thursday's bizarre general election john what do you think your electoral game say about media power in britain in terms of the way we've been treated by the written press generous to say the least some of the most vicious personal attacks that i've ever seen on a politician in some ways that's what you expect. from some of the press i think what offended a large number of people was the way they also went for our families as well which is unacceptable i think and people have rejected that and i think they're projected .
