i. believe. everyone should. know about north korea. but his president.

to describe. any. group to. drive the remaining. monday morning here in moscow you're watching international. over eight hundred and

forty voters have been injured in heavy us old spice military police during the spanish region's referendum on independence and despite madrid's efforts to disrupt the voting the catalan government has already published the results with ninety percent supporting catalonia as a breakaway from spain is a quick recap of what happened on sunday.

the spanish prime minister addressed his country just minutes before the end of the referendum which he proceeded to deny had actually taken place. or you know i'll be going to put in the field so that i mean if you think of the stuff god give up here. we have to feel the foot of us you've got a poster should we go to stop. clear enough you're not. going to be a few. kept . the most you're going to simplify but i had one of those. and we can now of course like to alter his mood in a culture of a study by frost in barcelona good morning to you my dear you know what's the mood

in catalonia off the last night. well last sunday. it was a very difficult and a very worrying day for the citizens of the catalunya region now for so many people sunday started in the middle of the night so when they came with their friends and where their family members had to defend their school buildings that was supposed to be appalling stations they were swapping each other they were trying to remain friendly and they were telling us and many people told us that it is very important for them to remain a peaceful gathering it is very important for them just to show death or it is how they want to vote and they want to defend their fundamental rights to express their opinion but right after the polling stations were opened and it really happened very quickly and the no one was expecting that we saw a lot of violence in the streets and happening in different parts of this regional

capital barcelona and across the area as well and now the police were pushing people out so they were using force to words to different people. starting from students to people they were breaking down doors breaking down windows being very aggressive towards the citizens of this area and now it came as a surprise to so many we've seen devastated people yesterday and but the address that came by the evening coming from madrid coming from the spanish authorities came even as a bigger surprise. i'm a person who have a spot i'm sure you can be the party with this day of hope and suffering but the citizens of catalonia have earned the right to an independent state in the form of a republic we have very special things to the state security forces to the national

police and the civil goods they have carried out the jews the mandate they received from fuel thirty's. this different approaches represents really dramatic contrast in. that castle and people will just have to live with another thing as the splits and police that with witness yes such a and police forces are now council and police and sound areas so we're even protecting citizens from the national guard they were trying to stand arm in arm in defending their population and defending the citizens of different areas of castle law and we've seen also video where people were throwing a rock ads and national police and as a result of this lab and policeman were injured now it was again as i said a very difficult day but we've seen a lot of discontent people and the streets of barcelona. i don't know i.

don't think so i thing with them because they're not afraid of well i think that there is no one know how they just defies. the violence of the. responsibility of the bullets might taint the safety of the people. you're not alone. it's incredible it's really what this is it is in europe does europe. we do expect to receive some kind of a reaction coming from local us or it is as well as coming from the trees but coming from people here in constant loni as well we do know that on tuesday a forty unions and associations in council on the house called floor has called for a region wide a strike in protest against what happened on sunday was go what's going to happen on monday well right now it is early morning for sure there is going to be some reaction coming in as early as a now a few couple of hours. and then a question of

a life for us in boston i thank you. now the way civil guard officers try to disperse the crowds has raised concern for example they were firing rubber bullets that caused many injuries. thank. god. but i think you can see protesters going to go on and ne in catalonia facing off against officers the demonstrators. hands up as a sign of nonviolence but as you can see the police apparently just thought of hitting them with batons. ah. the number from the same area showing women and men being told to the ground pulled along by the. international election observer bales and believe the conduct of spanish police is anything but prose what. the. police the spanish police.

believe. so there was. violence against specific people that they didn't even for the work they were just dorner were torn on the floor this behavior is pure really scandalous but. if the prime minister is . giving so much respect to distil eastland it is because they want to touch him they wanted them to do to act like they did so that's what they will do to show to humiliate people here show to spin this electors floaters that really very much. in this humiliation of guts elimination also sparking frustrate from this video circulating online a pairing to show one of the offices. twisting the hand of god woman there to her fingers were reportedly broken in the incident she claims intentional.

top e.u. officials have largely remained silent previously stressing that they think it's an internal issue for spain and r.k. from the european partnership for independence said that what happened in catalonia has shaken up all european values. all democrats in europe should to stand up and say this is not acceptable when they are going to see you make shit up going before families be hit by the police just be cool support referenda. to be shaken out because he goes completely against any fundamental you are beyond god you had no we vote for our not so old son for you since you can't some shocking board says saying don't bother him and should stall i cede the issue to say much more than the violence has stalled we know god.

says. this is not see such donald trump has downplayed a recent remarks by his secretary of state who called for a diplomatic solution to the north korea crisis but u.s. president saying the negotiations with pyongyang are a waste of time. over picks up the story for the past two months the world has been watching the escalating tensions on the korean peninsula and while some in the trumpet ministration continue to strive for a diplomatic solution the president himself sees those efforts as useless. i told rex tillerson our wonderful secretary of state that he's wasting his time trying to negotiate with little rocket man so term thinks negotiating with north korea is a waste of time honestly adding that the us will do what has to be done the us

secretary of state rex tillerson was in china talking with top diplomats there and trying to find ways to ease the nuclear tensions i think the whole situation's a bit overheated rights now i think everyone would like for it's a calm down obviously it would help if north korea would stop firing of missiles that have come things down a little but it's seemingly impossible for things to calm down with trump lashing out and insulting north korea and almost every chance he gets we are totally prepared for the second option totally destroying north korea that's called the military option by their theory a military option like the world has never seen devastating. deficit devastating never see the rocket man mad man he's on a suicide mission for himself rocket man shooting rockets all over the place suicide mission for him so he had been very aggressive should have been handled

a long time that's called the military option by fury it will be handled we handle everything over the weekend u.s. trolls were again carried out in the south china sea and all that is within washington's rights to conduct those drills many have called for them to be paused for the time being at least given how they currently provoke p.r. netting but despite terms insults and international disapproval of his handling of the situation some in washington still speak highly of his diplomatic skills i think the pick the president is an effective communicator i think people know exactly where he stands we have had a good deal of success in pushing forward with our diplomacy campaign that hasn't changed one thing that definitely hasn't changed is the deadlock in the north korean crisis and the world's left are waiting to see what exactly trump leaves has to be done. we spoke to george a moving a global policy expert from london metropolitan university you things that trump until some have adopted a good cop bad cop strategy well i think trump is doing the the familiar good

called back up routine so to listen he's playing the good cop he's negotiating trying to work something else and then trump is doing leaves about. it so it's a familiar double leg i mean it's pretty which is he's laying it on the line to the john yang hey you better do the deal with to listen. because otherwise you know i might get fed up with it and i'll do something really terrible it's certainly a great risk i mean this is this is brinkmanship and brinkmanship is always very dangerous you know we've had brinkmanship before we had the you know cuban missile crisis where. power is back down to the last minute you never know with with these things it's hard to know exactly what military options the united states has up its sleeve you know korea is in an awkward position are they relieved willing to go the distance of the really willing to risk. total annihilation and then and therefore

the complete annihilation of their regime so that's why i think killing yang's hand isn't really that strong but you know what though i mean this could. this is dangerous stuff it could easily get out of hand and i hear we're not international we're bring you all the latest on sunday's terror attack in mar say that did leave two people killed back in just. it's.

clear. here's what people have been saying about rejected in the us exactly just pull along. the only show i go out of my way to find you know what it is that really packs a punch oh yeah it is the john oliver of r t america is doing the same we are apparently better than. the c. people you've never heard of love back to the night president of the world bank so take. me seriously send us an e-mail. monday morning here in moscow thanks for joining us on r.t. attending our direction now to france where islamic state claims it was behind a knife attack that killed two women at marseilles main train station the public was shot dead by security services minutes later ultimately stopping his assault

and preventing further casualties. we had women screaming outside then run in people didn't know what was going on. the train and then the black community. president emanuel the macron condemning what he called the barbaric act and praised the work of the soldiers who ultimately eliminated the attack but the soldiers are part of operation sentinel which was launched after the terror attacks on the magazine's offices in early twenty fifteen and since then the country has been under a state of emergency for british intelligence officer believes the operation has

improved response times but more must be done to protect our soldiers from happening at all. well i think we're seeing a much faster reaction time from the police and security forces in all countries across europe i mean particularly in london as well with the attacks that happened in a few months ago that the reaction times much faster to stop further deaths but of course you can't stop the initial attacks themselves because these tend to be lone wolfs they tend to already be on the radar of the police or the security services but it seems that they're drowning in information because of the dragnet surveillance infrastructure they now have in place so the not targeting investigating and stopping potential terroristic type attacks and that is an ongoing problem i said this many times but they don't seem to learn from that and perhaps it's very difficult to try and tackle it well. the syrian army backed by russian power is making

a last push to repel the remaining terrorists out of the largely liberated city of dead as zoar a citizen had to endure three years of siege by islamic state and one of our r.t. crews is now inside your correspondent what are guys do you have has been listening to a local stories in there as or you'll find little a marked by war every crater has its own tragic story and i think it exploded right here a neighbor was sitting here holding your two year old nephew another man was there and my son isa was right here trad no hit him in the back in the waist and the legs a piece one did use long's he still suffers pain from it. isa has now survived isis shells twice he well remembers his last brush with death and how his sister found him. i said judy judy my back hurts but she said only my

legs were hit when they picked me up they so blood flowing down my back my sister started screaming and hitting herself the first time he was nearly killed by an isis shell he was just ten months old then shrapnel peppered the baby isa slicing off a toe in all he has eleven scars and a lump of jagged metal in his lungs that could still eventually kill him but at least he made it the other two year old boy at the scene wasn't so lucky this hell lasted for three years it left a mark on everyone. the word tragedy does not begin to describe what happened in there is or any door you knock on any family you talk to tell you of their loss and their suffering truly the one thing that unites this

city is that everyone has a horrific story there was no place in daters or where the population could find sanctuary there is no place that the battle left untouched dust craters bullet holes and devastation everywhere entire districts of the city are in ruins entire generations traumatized entire generations lost. during the battle with isis i was shot just above my jaw the bullet is still there my left eye was destroyed and i have ten percent vision in my right eye. the reality of war i dels to brothers were also in the army defending dead as order they were literally protecting their family against isis he is the only one left alive there is hope for abdel he could yet have his vision partially restored but

these families loss is neither unique nor the worst. so i was a moment once you lose one or three sons many families gave more than me in my office there was a man who lost five sons and a daughter this is war war you can see and destroys everything. for many the worst is over the breaking of the siege of daters or heralded a new beginning yet others in areas still being liberated it's just the start. aside from all the paid sense of loss and did there's also shame shame of what woman and young girls are soldiers thirteen and fourteen will force to do in order to feed themselves and their families when

you're hungry you'll do anything but no one will talk about it on camera sense of shame here runs deep the things people forced to do when they city psychological scars left behind will take decades to heal more i guess the team from dinners or syria. to germany now where off stepping up their fight against hate speech online with social networks coming under increased pressure starting from october tech giants will have to pay a hefty fine if they fail to delete illegal content. explains. fifty million euro that's how much the german government can find the big social media giants that don't remove illegal racist or slanderous comments and posts from their sites within twenty four hours the new law taking effect was written during an

uptick in racist anti refugee online postings following the arrival of more than a mere. people into germany between twenty fifteen and twenty sixteen but it was announced this summer that it would be coming into full force or privacy activists were out to show that they were less than happy. to do it at the controversial points of the law could see its high it's a regulation potentially on things which are not even liable to legal prosecution if this happens internet providers will likely be overcautious and potentially what we consider freedom of communication dissenting voices were on the rise in germany in just the last week the anti immigration alternative for germany party took a big bite out of space in the federal elections. i mean according to the current situation the last around one point three million voters

to the f.t.p. and one million to the f.t. considering the air of these voters it is our duty to win them back through good policies and solutions to problems i call mass germany's justice minister called out one of social media's biggest names directly saying they shouldn't have to be forced to do more. for us but i think that this is in the interest of facebook nobody can have an interest in being known as a medium which has been used in an extra way by far right extremists to overwhelm the world with ideological waste companies will have to report back on how they're doing every six months so let's have a look at how the big three stacked up before they slow came into place well according to the new york times over a one month period facebook removed way less than half of all online hate speech within twenty four hours for twitter an embarrassing one percent for them were far

and away the best performers you chub removing ninety percent of flag. and within one day it goes without saying that racist and bigoted posts need to be taken down but who is deciding what we should and shouldn't be seeing is a cause for concern for many the obligations placed upon private companies to regulate and take down content raises concern with respect to freedom of expression this isn't just a german issue posts that are blocked or removed here will also be blocked or removed all over the world but this new law with its hefty fines gives the german government a weapon against online hate with the power to hurt companies that don't. but the shoe to be a lot of focus into how it's used and against whom peter all of. it is a busy monday for worldwide headlines here at r.t. international and we are back in about half an hour.

about your sudden passing i've only just learned you were a south and taken your last bank term. here at the top to you as we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry i could so i write these last words and hopes to put to rest these things that i never got off my chest. i remember when we first met my life turned on each. but then my feelings started to change you talked about war like it was a cave still some are fond of you those that didn't like to question our ark and i secretly promised to never like it said one does not leave a funeral the same as one enters the mind gets consumed with death this is

a speech because there are no other takers. to claim that mainstream media has met its maker. they put themselves on a lot. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president ensure. that you're going to be as he was before three of the people. interested always in the water. there should.

be and go home sophie shevardnadze two proposals to send a peacekeeping force toward toward a strong ukraine are being touted at the united nations but while the wall powers at odds over the details kelly idea take offs and how efficient will the blue helmets be in stopping the fighting i asked for more had of un peacekeeping operations and director of the international crisis group. rushed in to sort of move from where we were civilians in terms of force.
