neighbors over migration. oh see this saturday welcome to the program on him with the world news from moscow where it's now five pm it's three pm which is where we start this hour with our breaking news police there say that they're investigating friday's attempted sort of attack near buckingham palace as an act of terrorism on this to see a chicken as the latest now know that the mets counterterrorism 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 on ravelled we the police 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 armed police officers who had approached this car and
10:02 am
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 on arms they were injured two of them had to be taken to hospital the third one stayed my minor injuries and didn't need to. the hospitalized all of the police officers were just charged 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 are treating this incident as a terrorist attack we have seen a series this is just the latest in several terrorist attacks that did occur in the u.k. within 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. force 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
10:03 am
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 a lot. with us now is former u.k. army intelligence officer chris chris welcome to the circumstances of what happened buckingham palace were pretty apparent very early on it took eighteen hours before counter-terror police were involved in this what needs to be established before it's considered to be a potential act of terrorism. well i think first and foremost you know in any city around the world there's always a significant amount of nice crime in this particular circumstance as you just said from the reports there was a car it drove the wrong way around to roundabouts which is what additionally alerted police to something suspicious it appears two stops short of the police van
10:04 am
that looked like it was going to ram and then the police got out of the van to go and investigate at that point they saw the individual struggling who had what's been reported as a full foot salt or potentially large machete he was restrained thankfully at least that way they were able to investigate of course because there are significant number of armed police there and soldiers as well at buckingham palace but of course they have to last it saying whether it's someone who's you know. some sort of in insanity some sort of mental health issue whether it's someone who's a criminal or indeed whether it's a terrorist and certainly the. initial accounts were of struggles and then people reported hearing about being shouted which sort of suggested and lends itself to a potential is a mistype attack and then as they investigate it further of course loose in the place the perpetrator comes from there's a significant muslim community there and also you know a lot of radicals there as well so you know i think they're just being diligent in this and making sure that the investigation was thora before you know reporting it
10:05 am
as an actual potential acts of terror and in terms of britain security situation right now we've had these tragedies the share as we know the terror threat pain at severe for exactly three years when critical aimé for a brief time so i would you assess prince giving situation right now. well i mean if you put it into context the total amount of terrorist attacks in europe and the united states in the last eighteen months actually equal less than three percent of the world's total terrorist attacks so in some respects you could say it's quite low but actually in the u.k. we've seen a five fold increase in terrorist incidents now part of that increase includes actual arrests that have been made which suggests there's significant advances and success is being made by the intelligence and security services the law enforcement community as well but of course there is a powerful threat across europe and other nations anyone who's in gauged in any
10:06 am
sort of fights against islamist extremists whether that be in syria or other nations around the world we're all threats we're all talk it's ok for now i really appreciate time for me ok army intelligence officer chris under thanks for that. the incident outside buckingham palace happened just minutes after a similar one in the belgian capital where a man was shot dead after attacking two soldiers with a knife police that are investigating that terrorism as well the man was a thirty year old belgian of somali origin who shouted as he began his attack thora to say he had two copies of the qur'an with him and also a fake gun one of the victims has a slightly injured in that incident took place in the st catherine district which is full of bars and restaurants and usually pretty busy on fridays a lawyer specializing in religious terrorism says europe's got used to dealing with terror. some of the leaders in other european countries have said that we just need to quote unquote get used to the fact that this is part of our lives and it's very
10:07 am
sad to see that in a continent such as europe which has had so many freedoms has such diversity of 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 you are 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 been reunited with their families it's believed the youngsters were taken to iraq by their parents who joined all to film them in a baghdad orphanage where they were taken off to the liberation of mosul we've also been helping to find the children's relatives in russia. bird target.
10:09 am
10:10 am
a childhood for these lucky youngsters some of them like this boy are too young to remember anything but war and the stream missed world that surrounded them so to norad's 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 his aunt recognized him in an r.t. can pay him to help the children. through . the earth. his story is similar to the rest of the children take ali 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.
10:11 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 all can i tell my go to school. think i just tried to see.
10:12 am
mom put it cleaned. up again mom this girl who was really just so. this was a mom i know never mom or dad each day. and then there's a. new person. to go. just don't. marry him she was scarred by the war both physically and psychologically. a buddhist. just that they just didn't need to do that it would. do it but there were no major loss just they like to kill the governor chill out
10:13 am
and that. it took okoye for. a school kill you. but it is close to the trickle. they are the lucky ones all of them now home with family again but for so many orphans back in iraq this ordeal is far from over. eager donna r.t. . poland is demanding that 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 point. in fact it could be said that pollen is demanding justice and we are a victim of the second world war the damage was not repaired anyway just the opposite today talking about her pray sense is a claim for justice and for what belongs to poland. this isn't just about the politicians either take a look at this majority of poll support the idea of germany paying more damage as
10:14 am
well sixty three percent want compensation from berlin but a third of the others disagree but a few are unsure about what to do however it's not the only issue that's proving to be a stumbling block for poland and the european partners are poland's long been critical 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 effectively putting a noose around the continent's neck meantime poland's requested the european commission withdraw all legal proceedings against warsaw over its refusal to adopt mandatory migrant quotas but it's not the only country in the e.u. of course to fail to meet its obligation in taking migrants it's joined by the czech republic and also hungary warsaw was expected to take in seven thousand refugees but so far as you can see it's taken zero problems foreign ministers defended his country's position after the french president said was always isolating itself. i think that poland statements are another arrow in the strategy
10:15 am
of the country and the manifestation 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. poland is not isolating itself and has not been isolated it seems to me that president macro and carelessly follows media reports and doesn't know what's going on in our part of europe still it happens sometimes i discuss this last hour with journalist and eastern europe expert martin summers and he told me that poland's defiance against some e.u. policies will cause problems for the blog. poland's a big country the major player. and of course if the no in cheating with the european paul those there's going to be problems further down the law and of course the solution themselves from the big players in the european union specifically the journals in the french of course they resent they feel as if they are the germans and the french and so on and they're very skeptical of the policies being pursued
10:16 am
by the european union. of the migration for example but of course the opinion has got lots of other problems to resolve. the poles may dislike the european union but they get an awful lot of money from them and if they leave the bloc then the left the money from somewhere else germany's pound the website of radical left wing activists will have the reasons behind that for you after the break. seem wrong. just don't. get to shape out distinct. and it. equals betrayal. when so many find themselves while the party weak she still look for common ground .
10:17 am
the feeling of. every the world experience. and you get it on the old world. the old according to just. come along for the. more of the world news this hour the german government's band a radical left wing web site blame for inciting violence during the g twenty protests in hamburg this summer a raid on the homes of some activists behind the site uncovered and batons our
10:18 am
europe correspondent peter all of us has the details. last month's g twenty and how violent unexpected and ferocious scale for the times seemed to catch german security services by surprise. that. far as i can tell and i'm from. i've never seen. the autopsy and why 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
10:19 am
as model first of all it is about a ban of the associations not a news outlet and 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 web site was used to organize 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 offices 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 persist in sling shots all things that could be used
10:20 am
to cause real damage if in the wrong hands which all begs the. question is this now the new normal when politically active groups such as the far involved should we expect the violent scenes we saw in hamburg to follow closely behind peter all of germany. french police say they're finding it difficult to fulfill their duties during the country's lengthy state of emergency because of poor working conditions one 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 state 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. on the battlefield i didn't expect to see such could just drive it photos from across france i was aware that working
10:21 am
conditions needed improvement but i honestly did not expect to see a car which had done five hundred thousand kilometers all augurs flooded with water that happened in toulouse vehicles are no longer adapted for what we now regard is and terrorist measures there is a police station which is literally falling into the ground the soil is crumbling beneath it no i didn't expect to see such things as well as the deteriorating 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 shuttled for next month. i. was i.
10:22 am
was. i. was. tortured a lot we would like to draw the interior minister's attention or the deteriorating working conditions of the french police yes we would also like to inform i was citizens that we cannot carry out so 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 any 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 my colleagues have been shot by terrorists every day we face violence. acts the venezuelan president has blasted new u.s.
10:23 am
sanctions against his country as insanity this is fiona get a happy face this measures are part of an economy coupe today tram has delivered a financial an economy low against the recovery of the venice who well you can't help but once again insanity has been unleashed its the insanity of anti then is can well and hold true. the u.s. sanctions prohibit financial dealings with the venezuelan government and state oil companies the most believed to be the biggest economic blow against the madeira government washington says the restrictions are a warning to madeira road to curb his dictatorship but officials in venezuela say it's the people of the country who are already struggling under an economic crisis who will suffer the most. it's a strong message for the people of venezuela and it's a strong message to the dural we are not going to tolerate the dictatorship he's trying to create venezuela's president has come out with
10:24 am
a very strong reaction to the sanctions that nikki haley is referring to that were signed off on by trump president trump on friday and target the country's energy sector terms national security adviser did comment on the possibility of military intervention the country there's no such thing really anymore as as only a military option or de or diplomatic option or or an economic option we try to integrate all elements together no military actions are into subpoenaed in the near future and not long ago trump stated that a more physical plan of action could be possible when it comes to the south american country we have many options for that as well and by the way i'm not going to rule out a military option but those comments put trump in direct contradiction to what he himself recently promised when he said the u.s. would no longer participate in nation building and trying to force other countries to live and their image we've been moving from one wrecked was it divergent to another we cannot be the policeman of the world we do not seek to impose our way of
10:25 am
life on anyone we will no longer use american military might to construct democracies in faraway lands would try to rebuild other countries in our own image those days are now over so government officials in venezuela have criticized the sanctions saying the u.s. is possibly trying to do just that and the sanctions could have consequences prevent as well as people in the united states is trying to create to promote humanitarian crises is you know a country that's what they're trying what do they want they want to starve the venezuelan people that this was already facing a pretty severe economic crisis so this is just going to agitate the economic situation in the country which is clearly the goal. of the truck administration what is unclear is what exactly is their objective certainly a military option has been in the plans of the us government for venezuela for many
10:26 am
years simply because it's a large oil supplying country the us would desperately like to recover control of venezuela's oil industry and as long as there's a government in place in venice well that refuses to subordinate to us agenda the us will always have a military option on the table in case it's necessary to ensure that they have the control over kind of. right that should use for now if you want to get in touch find us and follow us on facebook twitter you tube i'm calling back in forty five minutes to update you again so you know.
