9:01 am
the country also struggles with its european neighbors migration policy. today where it's now four pm it's two pm in london that's where we're going to start with our breaking news police there now say that they're investigating friday's attempted sort attack near buckingham palace as an act of terrorism we go live to london news center correspondent anna says he reckons that either. police statement in the past couple of hours now. so far. well look all in the you're exactly correct basically where we now know that the mets counter-terrorism command are treating this latest friday evening incident which did occur shortly after eight thirty pm friday evening near buckingham palace where three police officers were injured now what we do know in terms of what exactly unraveled we the police
9:02 am
have said that a twenty six year old man from luton has pulled up and pulled up in his car up to a police found with three unarmed police officers who had approached this car and when they did they discovered that the man was trying to pull out a four foot sword while repeatedly shouting allahu akbar now of course a struggle ensued in which the three police officers who again were unarmed they were injured two of them had to be taken to hospital the third one sustained my minor injuries and did need to be hospitalized all of the police officers were discharged quite quickly from hospital and we do know that they were able to incapacitate this man with a c.s. spray and the attacker is now in custody at a police station in central london and they're treating this incident as a terrorist attack and obviously we'll know more as the story unravels in the course there are a number of terror incidents still weighing very much on people's minds in britain . well of course calling yes because we have seen a series this is just the latest in several terrorist attacks that did occur in the
9:03 am
u.k. with then recent months so in march we saw the westminster attack where a van drove into pedestrians killing five people and injuring dozens in may we saw the manchester arena bombing which of course killed as many as twenty two people and injured hundreds we do know that just back in june the london bridge attack killed eight people and injured dozens and also in june a nighttime attack on a finsbury park mosque where one person had died and about ten sustained injuries so certainly this latest attack is yet another cause for concern where officials are admitting that it probably will be the law. well let's hope the rest of the holiday weekend in britain passes without incident from a situation in london thank you. last hour i got reaction from counterterrorism expert david alone he believes that more terror related incidents are inevitable. i don't know if you can say this directly to your girls though some of these attacks again to be hard to prove was a direct amount given. by. the group really they are all
9:04 am
islamic state these are target it's not like it's or expect it before coming here and it looks as though it was this group has inspired many individuals and when you compare this to spain where clearly there was you know turned up so people working together be interested to see what will come out from this one of your passwords it's a bit working over zero or do they have some form of assistance it's quite you know there was the trickier finland as well last week it was suspected to be a terrorist instead of i mean looking at philip i mean one people ask your wife to be rules or one space. if you look at the group but they have they don't recognize any geographical boundaries if you're not with them you're against them but it's their philosophy if there's a well you're a christian or a muslim or jew it doesn't matter which in this regard nationalism if you
9:05 am
look with if you're against them and i think this is what we're starting to see there. well that incident last night outside buckingham palace happened just minutes after a similar one in the belgian capital in brussels a man was shot dead after attacking two soldiers with a knife police they're also investigating that as terrorism the man a thirty year old belgian of somali origin shouted god is greatest in arabic as he started to attack authorities say he had two copies of the koran with him and also a fake gun one of the victims has a slightly injured hand the incident took place in the st catherine district which is full of bars and restaurants and is usually busy on fridays a lawyer specializing in religious terrorism says europe's got used to living with sara. some of the leaders in other european countries have said that we just need to quote. get used to the fact that this is part of our lives and it's very sad to see that in a continent such as europe which has had so many freedoms has such diversity of
9:06 am
different people and has allowed those freedoms it is sad to see that people are now no longer surprised i mean this was a lesser attack nobody was killed no it's not mass casualties or massive billion casualties which is a more positive step but again this is a lot of backtracking they're having to go against major national or european union policies which state that you know they shouldn't do much they shouldn't look at religion they should look at other things and they shorten the shouldn't police the streets for things like this. five russian speaking children who were stranded in war ravaged iraq have now been reunited with their families it's believed the youngsters were taken to iraq by their parents joined on the sole also you filmed them in a baghdad orphanage where they were taken after the liberation of mosul we've also been helping to find the children's relatives in russia. third.
9:08 am
public good order to do it that they're going to. get it on my face smiling out. such a simplistic sad nasty to see. the children now back home abandoned canal hope for a return to normal life for their families but though the now safe somehow heartbreaking stories of that time and war torn iraq he goes down off as the details. this is a second short of a childhood for these lucky youngsters some of them like this boy are too young to
9:09 am
remember anything but war and the stream missed world that surrounded them so to nerds parents decided to join i so and took him to iraq he was just two at the time distant to remain an orphan stranded alone in baghdad he's aren't recognized him in an arty complain to help the children. with. the through. the earth. his story is similar to the rest of the children take he's mother took selfies with eisel flags and sent them to their family in russia ali's dad died right before his eyes only at. work. but his aunt was among the first relatives to get in touch with us. was.
9:10 am
that you know. now he's going to leave with me and my children i want him to understand that he's still a child then from now on everything will be calm and peaceful of course he's going to visit his grandmother but not right now for now i won't let him go anywhere i want him to forget everything. one of the most remarkable stories is that of a d.j. and fatima a former neighbor and friend in dagestan just seven years old recognized the sisters she took our video to the sister's grandparents we filmed the grandmother and father to find out whether the girls would recognize them despite having spent almost half of their lives thousands of miles from home in a war zone they hadn't forgotten ed god god they only gave it to my go to school. tried to. put it cleaned. up again that's good
9:11 am
or they just say. it's because a mom i know never. did. and then there's a. new person new coach to go right in. there to stoop to. marry him she was scarred by the war both physically and psychologically. they teach this little step you just don't need to do. it little or. little took it over no need a lot over the next just to build the dilute your identity. if it took.
9:12 am
it. as close you. say is closer to the world. they are the lucky ones all of them now home with family again but for suman your friends back in iraq this ordeal is far from over. donna r.t. . new this hour poland is demanding millions of euros in reparations for its losses during the second world war as the country continues to struggle against its european neighbors over multiple sticking points in fact it could be said that pollen is demanding justice suppose we are a victim of the second world wars the damage was not repaired in any way just the opposite today talking about her pray sense is a claim for justice and for what belongs to poland it was not just the politicians either the majority of poles support the idea of germany paying war damages as well sixty three percent want compensation from berlin all others disagree or are just
9:13 am
a little bit unsure about it however this isn't the only issue that's proving to be a stumbling block for poland and its european partners poland's long been critical of course of the e.u.'s migration strategy and this week the polish interior minister blasted brussels policy saying that accepting so many migrants into europe is essentially putting a noose around the continent's neck meantime poland's requested the european commission withdraw legal proceedings against warsaw over its refusal to adopt mandatory migrant quotas of poland's not the only e.u. country to fail to meet its obligation in taking in migrants it's joined by the czech republic and also hungry in this regard warsaw was expected to take in around seven thousand refugees so far though it's taken zero. well the situations led to the french president emmanuel mccraw saying that poland is isolating itself from europe a comment that the polish foreign minister denies is true. i think that all one statements are another error in the strategy of the country and the manifestation
9:14 am
of how this country wants to position itself on the margin of europe's history present and future the state chose today to isolate itself in the functioning progress of fuel. poland is not isolating itself and has not been isolated because it seems to me that president macron carelessly follows media reports and doesn't know what's going on in our part of europe it happens sometimes. by let's get reaction now from independent journalist and also eastern europe expert martin summers not america back to r.t. so it's quite clear that there's a fissure between poland and the e.u. not seeing eye to eye at the moment could this have any long term implications for the bloc. well of course poland is a big country the major player. and of course if they're not in tune with the european partners there's going to be problems further down the line you mentioned earlier the demand for reparations by the poles the the greeks are also demanding
9:15 am
reparations that's one of the things they're talking about and if we're going to stop paying reparations for would say there's going to be an awful lot of demands being chucked around the place. anybody's going to pay these these demands. that they actually just say make the situation worse and make it difficult to resolve the problems that not be resolved what you think poland's resorting to these kind of retaliate three measures though instead of trying to talk things to i mean what kind of pressure does it think it under from the e.u. . don't forget that the russians and the germans are talking about building this north stream to pipeline under the baltic the poles all very happy about that they seem to think they're being. there's a lot of historical animosity as we know between russia. germany and poland put you know politicians in poland. in a very deep sea of resentment. but of course they all cells from the big players in the european union specifically the germans in the french of course they
9:16 am
resent they feel as if they talked about the germans and the french and so on and of course of the new stream part law in the kind of britain has to try and block it because britain's brigs it means that nobody in the european union takes what britain sake seriously it's all so then they are natural allies of the poles in the in this matter but they're not going to they're not going to be able to do anything for them i suppose a lot of countries on that side of the european union feel a little bit disenfranchised disenfranchised on the power scale in bloc if the e.u. commission president could come good on his warning that the you could vote to banish poland can poland take that would it find itself completely isolated. i think that's there's an element of bluff in the us as well. the poles are part of the european union a major part of the not going to leave the bloke. they're very they're very skeptical of the policies being pursued boy european union. gratian for example but of course the opinion has got lots of other problems to resolve you know the
9:17 am
potential collapse of the spanish banks and so forth the poles are going to have to just scream in the courts along with everybody else and not many people in western europe are not going to take them a serious is they take themselves and our poll is not exactly an economic miller in the european union when britain was told it would have to put up or shut up we ended up with it could poland end up that same way that. it's possible that if it goes ahead as it looks as if it will that all the other countries will start to think about well maybe that in the european union of course the poles are still got their own currency the they could pursue an independent policy i mean in many ways they shouldn't of russia join the european union in the north sea knowing to sit. taking that saw and they could get it got a much better deal for many of these countries to join the european union as soon as they possibly could and therefore saw in that for deals which are actually cause disadvantages to them of course ukraine was placed in a similar position and then of course there in. the polls may dislike the european
9:18 am
union but they get an awful lot of money from them and if they leave the bloc then the left the foreign money from somewhere else yeah ok martin summers for now thanks very much for joining us. so we can use from our international coming up germany's ban the website of radical left wing activists the reason behind that after the break.
9:19 am
hillary would like to erase the past because it's an inconvenient truth that she was a harlem candidate and made a lot of mistakes so in an attempt to erase her past she wants to erase america's past so she is galvanizing and and supporting the last isis of the american political spectrum. the german government has a radical left wing website blamed for inciting violence during the g twenty protests in hamburg this summer a raid on the albums of activists behind the site uncovered knives and box homes
9:20 am
our europe correspondent peter all about has the veto. last month's g twenty in. violence sudden unexpected and ferocious scale for the times seem to security services like surprise. the. far as i can tell. i've never seen anything like. the autopsy in those violent scenes were able to happen so the interior minister here in germany decided to close the web site links saying it had been instrumental in organizing the violent scenes that marred the g twenty summit it's as model of
9:21 am
first of all it is about a ban of the associations not a news outlet from now on the operation of the site is with immediate effect a crime even continues its operation then there will be reason to press charges that will surely follow starting from today. the website was used to walk in ice attacks on security services as world leaders mixed at the big get together but finding out just where the website was based has proved harder that it may first seem we understand that some two hundred fifty officers were involved in searching five properties in the area around the city of freiburg as they try to find out the source of where the website was coming from the operation uncovered numerous weapons raging from knives to pursue sling shots all things that could be used to cause real damage if in the wrong hands which all begs the question is this
9:22 am
now the new normal. politically active group such as involved should we expect the violent scenes we saw in hamburg to follow closely behind peter all of. germany. french police say they're fine. it difficult to fulfill the duties during the country's lengthy state of emergency because of poor working conditions when officers unions even held a photo competition to draw attention to the problem from rats and cockroaches to leaky pipes and damaged equipment the photos show the shocking states of police stations across france in many cases it's apparent that even basic equipment has become unfit for use more than one hundred fifty photos have already been submitted by officers who say their job now lacks dignity. we all sat on the panel for i didn't expect to see such could distract voters from across france i was aware that working conditions needed improvement but i honestly did not expect to see
9:23 am
a car which had done five hundred thousand kilometers or loggers flooded with water that happened in toulouse their goals are no longer adapted for what we now regard is antiterrorist measures there is a police station which is literally falling into the ground the soil is crumbling beneath it that no i didn't expect to see such things as well as the terrier rating working conditions french police are also worried they may not be able to cope with a day of strike action and marches over labor reforms which is shadowed for next month. was. why. was i. was.
9:24 am
was. was. more to read out would like to draw the interior minister's attention on the deteriorating working conditions of the french police would also like to inform i was citizens that we cannot carry out our public mission correctly given the fact that we are in the state of emergency now and facing a terrorist threat over the last fifteen years instead of organizing large scale negotiations on security issues our government has limited its budget and implemented small measures the police force in france has been sick for dozens of years and we're not being given an e. means to change that since the beginning of twenty seventeen two of my colleagues have been burnt alive these tragedies haven't stopped some of mike. leagues have been shot by terrorists every day we face violence. this saturday what are you doing this weekend take me with you get the news alerts as they happen or i'll be

9:27 am
fernando pereira coming up in the show the worst refugee crisis since the second world war italy's ambassador to britain tells us his country is being treated unfairly by the european union and the nature of campaign on libya was fatally flawed and i don't think that you're going to knows too much about coral reefs or cares about them particular i don't think that's driving motivation i would love for him to see the film and maybe it affects them emotionally maybe he recognizes you know there is this beautiful life force on the planet as donald trump left the g twenty summit could watching a new film by emmy award winning director jeff orlowski on air force one that changed his mind on manmade environmental catastrophe twenty four hours before one of the biggest strikes in n.h.s. history cuts to the national health service and the heart breaks it could kill off signs innovation and put lives at risk all the civil coming up in today's going underground but first with every fire alarm or suspicious package in british cities
9:28 am
raising fears of a terror attack this summer today might be a good time to reflect on u.k. ambulances today marks one hundred forty years since the formation of the st john's ambulance charity in the days before socialized down the lenses paid by taxes in one thousand nine hundred seventy. decided to do more to help and so they formed the st john ambulance because. of the game was to provide first aid ambulance. for the general public but in one nine hundred forty eight the u.k. labor government decided to compete with private charities explicitly telling the british people that a new universal health care system would not be a charity it would in effect be socialism what do we owe to socialism in this country. every single one of you in this room at some point his benefit. from the principles of the national health service free at the point of use as a human right. the free market capitalist economy the united states has forty
9:29 am
million people without access to health care and the rest have to pay a great deal for it where did those ideas come from did they come from some benign very wealthy person or worth a yes the dreams of people who saw their mothers dying in poverty saw their wives dying in childbirth or saw other coming to you. or saw others suffering grievously because they could not afford medical care no wonder so prime minister tourism is detractors might say the conservatives want to be rid of the n.h.s. something denied by juries in may and health secretary when it comes to funding we had a very difficult period after twenty ten the austerity period when we were dealing with the financial crisis of two thousand and eight getting the economy back on its feet but.
