the russian defense ministry deny the allegations of civilian casualties in its early raids in syria releasing video of strikes on the al newsroom militant targets in profits. headlines this hour after feeling to find any trace of russian hackers interfering in the german election the media speculating why it was a target. the trump tweet that's stoking tensions north korea say is the u.s. president's online insult is a declaration of war. eight

pm in shanghai seven am in mexico city and three in the afternoon right here in moscow i mean i know neal this is r.t. international the russian defense ministry has released video of its strikes against al nusra targets in the syrian province of idlib. while there have been allegations of civilian casualties from the raids spoke on the details earlier with call and bright. the so-called syrian observatory for human rights has once again claimed that the russian and syrian airplanes are targeting the residential areas inside is doing the same and that a number of civilians have been killed as a result they have been particularly talking about the troubled region of the north of syria russia's defense ministry has once again denied these allegations saying

that the nation is uniquely targeting the jihadists bases and underground storage units and equipment bases and armored vehicles located outside the cities and they have supported their claims by releasing the very deuce show in the moments of the attacks and you can see the pictures right now and it's clear you can see that these are not to residential areas targeted the russian defense ministry has also added that all the attacks always follow a detailed research over the situation on the ground and they also have information that these particular bases could be involved in the attack on the russian military police in theory last week remember three policemen then were seriously injured and that was a very serious situation but the russian and syrian military have launched account of creation and the jihadist have been stopped the syrian observatory for human rights it's been the go to place for

a lot of noise out of this house and they've made these kind of allegations before that's not for the first time that we hear such allegations from the syrian observatory for human rights and i believe not the last on russia's defense ministry has said it has serious doubts over the credibility of these organizations the claims made by the observatory science and anonymous witnesses over. the traditional sounded and serve as an informational smokescreen for their actions over. and russia's defense ministry is not the only one to question the credibility of the syrian observatory for human rise interesting that just recently we heard almost similar concerns from the commander of. american coalition inferior the general has said that the claims made by syrian observatory for human rights are often unsupported by fact the bitter irony here is that this very daniel has been appointed they supposed under obama administration that as you remember had always referred to syrian observatory for human rights as a very credible source of information yes it comes from from credible aid. agencies

like the world health organization like doctors without borders like the syrian observatory for human rights we have earlier been able to speak to the head of syrian observatory for human rights as you know this is an organization based far away friends theory and there are not many people involved in the research and he told us he hasn't been to syria since the year two thousand. we are under attack simply because we tell the truth about what's going on in syria apparently nobody wants to hear the truth do you know these people working in syria hundreds you say personally you mention money just no political standing naturally plays a certain role two people may have totally different interests can you really trust all of them. i know all of the activists working for the syrian observatory for human rights you keep saying that you know all these people personally when was the last time you went to syria. the last time i was in syria was in two thousand.

another development regarding serious problems and an incident that happened earlier this year russia says it has evidence the terrorists were behind april's chemical attack in the rebel held town of should cool in which killed at least eighty people speaking to be earlier or to be a culture of moscow has information that terrorists were using chemical weapons and in particular sarin gas and one of their attacks on the hunch a who in town back in april this year and now this information was voiced by the director of the russian foreign ministries nonproliferation and weapons control department he also said the situation on the ground was secure enough for international experts to come to the area come to the town and to collect important data for the investigation but they refused to do so an early and september and internationally un independent commission that oversees human rights violations

released a report saying that damascus used chemical weapons in its attacks basically blaming the assad government although the fact finding mission never visits at the town or the area itself the attack in question to place on the fourth of april two thousand and seventeen more than eighty people were killed sound the opposition together with many western powers were quick to blame the incident on the syrian government shortly after the april and tack the u.s. reacted by launching an strike on a syrian beefs where the chemical weapons were allegedly stored now the attack claimed the lives of sixteen people in while damascus has repeatedly denied carrying out any sorts of chemical weapons attacks on that area now it's sad that back in two thousand and thirteen it gave away all of its chemical weapons under the supervision of the u.n.

backed chemical weapons watchdog. meanwhile the russian military has managed to establish a bridge over the euphrates river near the city of durham where the battle for the region is not yet over but humanitarian convoys are now regularly delivering aid locals can finally get basic food that they haven't seen since isel this siege the city children there are even seeing some kinds of fruit for the first time in their lives because the of is there for us. what these people have been through is indescribable joy and saw. out a little. in the way he didn't even take. my left hand come in handy. we can hear about it we can read about it watch it but we won't truly understand what it ought to be a need to our no one money making but one that has been in an epic as always it

was the young and the elderly hit hardest that died first and then again the last thing a goodness do i do it a little hard to hide it is not it i do agree insulin is tinny sound i know. if it wasn't hunger it was isis shelling if not that i lack of medicine but the city survived life even did as order is still far from normal but at least they will be starving to death and the more gone are the times when people would fight to the death with scraps of food now convoys are coming in day and night with food with medicine as well as things like vegetables fruits candies these are things that the people of datas or haven't seen for three long years. at the

maya bit of one. four ninety. four i designed a microphone was what i for syrians all know what dead is or has been through and the nation's heart goes out to its citizens even the older kids can't remember eating anything that wasn't grown locally. yet you see. of course news that someone was giving out free but not as quickly spread at first it was a dozen children. then it was dozens and. i . get more enthusiastic children ate the skins before realizing that something wasn't quite right well it was

worth it just to see the smiles and then. there are still plenty of challenges isis still holds a small part of the city is also reconstruction providing clean water and fuel but despite all that these. born again more. from syria. the german election results have stirred up and a vital public reaction. her fourth term as chancellor has been somewhat overshadowed by the success of the right wing alternative for germany party which earned its first ever seats in the bundestag activists from both sides of the political divide gathered once the preliminary results was also

a rally in the city of dresden by e.f.t. supporters from the. movement. activists marched against the party's success accusing them of xenophobia and racism sexism. while some experts blame for the rise of all of the f.t. didn't hesitate to blame it on the infamous russian hackers although the media failed to find evidence that they in any way influence the election absence of hacking at every. and suspicious nonetheless. i i.

mean looking at the wider claims against suppose a russian on line interference in foreign elections the russian meddling predictions fell flat when it came to the german election despite the initial hysteria. we don't see that putin has meddled in the election campaign maybe they didn't try maybe it's still coming allegations of russian controlled automated accounts promoting a.f.d. hashtags and the run up to the vote was about as senator as it got and the head of the german federal election committee even felt confident enough to tell a russian news agency there was no evidence of interference but when it comes to last year's u.s. presidential election it seems neither time nor lack of proof can stem the flow of allegations of kremlin meddling that's despite a stanford university study demonstrating that false stories weren't the reason for hillary's loss and that the two most believed fake news stories were in fact pro

clinton articles our data suggests that social media were not the most important source of election news for fake news to have changed the outcome of the election a single fake article would need to have had the same persuasive effect as thirty six television campaign ads nevertheless fears of russian meddling seem to be mounting most recently in the upcoming catalan independence referendum that has infuriated the spanish government according to some russia is once again lurking in the background and pulling the strings one of the most circulated daily newspapers in spain has come to that not so surprising conclusion and our channel is one of the main targets of the article work use of running stories about the situation in catalonia forty two times since the end of august not sure why a news channel reporting news is so alarming but yes apparently they counted they also claim that one of our headlines that reads the e.u. will respect the cattle and referendum is out now fake news but respect is exactly

what the european commission president said if they were to be a yes very. independent suspect will shift. we will respect that. i mean you know so it's unclear what their issue is the kremlin's position on the matter is also to be found in the peace stating that the issue of catalan independence is one for spain to address. but it seems such denials coming from moscow don't matter to those pushing an increasingly shaky narratives every time the elite of whichever country feels that there might be a some sort of populist revolt or a vote against what the elite think they should be voting for they almost. actively say oh it must be russia interfering in these elections because they might get her and it results that they don't want but it's crazy because we have seen time and time and time again there is no evidence of russian hacking. i want to bring you story now from southern russia it is a disturbing one police detained what is alleged to be

a curveball couple suspected of killing and eating up to thirty people among koester it was in the city of crust the door is report includes a brothel descriptions of what's alleged to of heard. we're standing outside a detention facility in crossman's are a city in south or russia that was there recently should by absolutely horrifying events a local couple has been are taken into custody for murdering and dismembering a woman moreover now they're suspected of cannibalism as well r.t. source in the local police said that the pair confessed to killing a police uncovered chile details thanks to a road workers who discovered at telephone allegedly belonging to the suspect on a vis a very street after they opened up the phone they discovered absolutely a picture of flying images of a man posing with bloodied dismembered body parts of course they alerted the police right away and they began an investigation now the images from that phone already

began circulating online and the media are now speculating about the real number of their victims after seeing the horrific telephone footage that police detained both suspects and here's artie's exclusive footage when the authorities searched the home all day keys gospel and made even the more shocking discoveries well they found more remains of their recent victim but her body parts that in the basement of the building also all their body parts that were placed in a can saner some kind of a salt solution and also unspecified food have frozen meat fragments in the kitchen experts will now try to determine whether those are human are not the locals a certainly in shock i know wary of the media but we managed to find one person a shopkeeper that says lives in this area and you the couple pretty well as they were her cos the client says the live right here let's have a listen. then

mr gay. asian is ongoing but there is a suspicion that the couple have allegedly been killing and eating their victims over the last sets once a year so perhaps we could see some more developments more horrifying details in this story as the investigation progresses ramon calls for an artsy crust of our southern russia ok we've got news of an explosion from the london underground and off for the break stay with us. in case you're new to the game this is how it works not the economy is built around

corporate corporations from washington washington controls the media the media control. and voters elected the businessman to run this country business equals power who must it's not business as usual it's business like it's never been done before. when i was so small seemed wrong why don't we all just don't all. get to shape out these days become educated and in gains from it equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart when you choose to look for common ground.

i. hear some more news just coming into its tower hill underground station in central london has been evacuated a small fire possibly an explosion on a train courage caused panic on a stampede among passengers and london police say the incident is not suspicious the fire is believed to have been caused by a mobile phone charger overheating the face of course all comes after a terror attack at parson's green station earlier this month you can follow all the latest updates all story on our website r t v dot com a lot of twitter feeds photos being taken from the scene there were calculate them putting them on our t. dot com. ok north korea's foreign ministers see donald trump has declared war on pyongyang now and warned of country measures it's on for the american presidents inflammatory comments about the north korean leader on

twitter. since the united states declared war on our country we have every right to take countermeasures including the right to shoot down united states strategic bombers even when they're not inside the airspace of our country it's important to point out that north korea's foreign minister was responding to comments by donald trump on social media specifically on twitter donald trump said the north korea's leader might not be around much longer and so we have this response from north korea's foreign minister now we've heard from the pentagon they have responded to the comment from the foreign minister saying if north korea does not stop their provocative actions we will provide options to the president and now we have a response from the u.s. not declared war on north korea and frankly the suggestion of that is absurd it's never appropriate for a country to shoot down another country's aircraft when it's over international

waters our goal is still the same we continue to seek the peaceful nuclear is ation of the korean peninsula that's our focus doing that through both the most maximum economic and diplomatic pressure is possible at this point there's been quite a back and forth between donald trump and the leaders of the d.p. r. k. the united states has great strength and patients but if it is forced to defend itself or its allies we will have no choice but to totally destroy north korea rocket man is on a suicide mission for himself and for his regime to the kind of measure will be taken is decided by the chairman of the state affairs commission. but i think that the strongest ever hundreds might be tested in the pacific. now it's important to note that at the beginning of september north korea tested its first hydrogen bomb a much more advanced nuclear weapon than they previously have tested and

proliferated and furthermore they are announcing. at this point they intend to carry out another test of a hydrogen bomb but this time it will not take place within north korea itself but rather in the pacific ocean so many are wondering what will happen if north korea does indeed test a hydrogen bomb in the pacific ocean what response will we see from the united states as of yet it's just a war of words but people are concerned many people around the world are no doubt concerned that this could lead to a catastrophic conclusion well an expert on the region that we spoke to believes that the peace and mission of proposals by china and russia could resolve the crisis if the u.s. is willing to take the first then. here is the main question the main actors united states united states has been has and also very. resistant to accept the proposal so i think if you noticed they actually donald trump who actually when he was running for president he said he was going he's

a willing to. implement new policy he criticizes you know the. hard line policy and he even proposed a hamburg hamburger diplomacy with north korea i think it tomorrow if present trump . agreed and support the china the proposal that china and russia support and many other leaders support i think that we can avoid this catastrophic. you just first outcome so i think that it's again up to united states that can prevent overt really catastrophic consequences. so abrasions have swept through the streets of erbil the capital of the kurdish populated region of iraq the kurds voted in an independence referendum despite opposition from boat by gerd abroad. we just want to show the world what our people want the world we want to head for

independence in a democratic way through dialogue and negotiations with baghdad this is an unconstitutional decision against the social fabric of our citizens we will not recognize the referendum or its results. six million people were eligible to vote on turnout was reportedly seventy percent official results are expected by the end of the week but the prediction is that there will be an overwhelming yes vote by dad sees the referendum as another source for destabilization of an already fragile state and doesn't want to lose its oil rich region well the kurds are one of the largest ethnic groups without estates some forty million people spread across four neighboring countries turkey syria iraq iran here well all of oppose the referendum fearing it would embolden their own kurdish community iran has closed its earth space over the kurdish region and started conducting military drills on

its border with iraq turkey for its part is conducting joint military drills with iraq and threaten to block an oil pipeline operated by the kurds and grievances jested the possibility of military action. should expect us to tolerate a conflict zone right next to our border this recent development poses a threat to our nation's very existence and its future we will not hesitate to take military action similar to what we did in syria when we read cities of ice and fighters as i have said we could take action at any time or we delve deeper into this the scotian with the name o. abdullah from which is a kurdistan media network and former cia officer jack rice. it is actually kind of surprising for iraqis the kind of harsh rhetoric we are hearing from president add on because as you know that turkey and the kurdistan region have had excellent

trade and economic relations over the past few years that he has that he's in a fight against all the kurdish people and what is he said recently he's the rationale behind opposing this referendum apart from the fact it is held by a group of people called the kurds theories that this is a ripple effect we're talking about six million people who are kurds in northern iraq but there's another six million or so in iran there's another couple million in syria there's fourteen and a half million in turkey there's some in our media i mean the fear is that if one gets independence what about the others what's the possibility of a larger greater kurdistan if one starts to get truly autonomy and really a country of their own does this mean they actually band together remember the turks have already said they will go to war over this. and you use a run the clock from moscow this is r t joining me again in just over half an hour's time for all the latest developments on today's big stories right ahead our documentary.

what politicians do. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure. some want to be rich. but you'd like to be close to see what before three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the water out. there should. include a. scene over. these birds fish you. asked
