russianness strike takes hotel pipe profound commanders from the terror group in syria with its main leader we had to win a critical condition. the breakaway region of catalonia says it will declare its independence from spain in a matter of days now as over half a million people go on strike against the spanish government. and the king of saudi arabia makes his first ever official visit here to russia where the monarch sets the top and syria with him a. very

good afternoon for me kevin for choosing out international revealed shootin around the world our top story so far this wednesday. terror group leader. gilani has been gravely injured in a russian air strike in syria that's the headline russia's defense ministry says its fighter jet successfully targeted a meeting earlier nicaea and told me more of this operation. it's the latest blow to the on those report jabatan those whichever you want to call it this is the second strongest insurgent group in syria after islamic states of course and this comes as the ministry of defense has confirmed that russian intelligence were able to confirm the time and place that a meeting between the heads of this on this word terror group would be taking place and once these people were confirmed to be in attendance russian as strikes pounded the area subsequently killing over fifty on this refined says twelve commanders and

a security chief but most ignorant lee the leader of the on this recruit was also in attendance and we do believe that he has been severely injured in this strike so i think it's fair to say that the on this or group has taken a pretty devastating beating over the past couple of weeks it comes just one week after the ministry of defense confirms that an asse strike in italy province in syria has eliminated five prominent. field commanders now these commanders are believed to have been the brains behind an attack on some russian military police offices and i demilitarized zone in that area they were there to monitor the cease fire now for more on the outcome of that attack his the minister of defense. as a result of the attack. police numbering twenty nine people was trapped for several hours and forced to repel enemy attacks despite being outnumbered some pretty significant blow to some gains against the on this were terrible but this is an ongoing fight of course but for the leader supposed to be some deals where they

disturb the so you see here but. what is interesting out to mohammed when it comes to his career as a terrorist if you like well if he would be ranked as a very well established figure in the community if you like we know that he for u.s. troops in iraq we know he quickly rose through the ranks of al qaeda he was released from a u.s. prison in iraq and then went on to join as learning state where he also did marry well he rose through the ranks there to become a senior member of a. islamic state in iraq he then broke away to become the lead to of when the group was established in two thousand and twelve he is the self-proclaimed and mir of the group now al nusra once known as al-qaeda in syria trying to blondet south if you like can see thousand and sixteen it changed its name but his tactics launching remains the same let's take a look. generate

the highly effective we. began to pocket full of the extremely toxic chemical. this is one of the methods of torture that was used by the militants. russia's foreign minister sergey lavrov stated that the u.s. led coalition in syria needs to focus more of its attention on to not just are you still. we have long been trying to draw the international community's attention to the fact that the u.s. led coalition before the russian military had started its anti-terrorist campaign

in syria was quite possibly citing eyesore and not striking out newsroom at all after russia launched its operation the coalition became more active strikes against isis but even after the new u.s. administration stepped in we haven't seen the coalition making any serious efforts to target al nusra. a check of the places to catalonia. leaders to declare the regions independence from spain on top of the local palmer there's no announced the date for what's going to happen next let's cross live turns to censure canary barcelona other last year it's all really coming to a head now they say they're going to announce a day it could be the end of this week beginning next week yeah that's. right kevin i mean anybody and everybody who is watching what's going on raveling in catalonia are really waiting with bated breath to see what's going to happen as the standoff between barcelona and madrid continues and indeed we do know that the

two main pro independence party in the regional parliament june will see in the sea you have called for a session to take place on monday to discuss the issue of independence for him there but what's going to be quite crucial to unravel today first of all is going to be a speech given by the council on leader puts them on to is expected to speak later on today he's supposed to kind of. explain really what is going to be unraveling in terms of the process because we do know that previously the catalan leadership did say that within forty eight hours of this independence referendum they would be declaring independence so this officially of course is yet to come now this speech is also going to be quite crucial in terms of the fact that it's going to come exactly twenty four hours it's expected to take place on the dot following the speech good. by the spanish team who unlike some have been expecting here would call for more unified message in a potentially calling for the council runs and madrid to kind of get together and

talk but indeed he did sort of reprimand to the council on leadership saying they've been acting outside the law now we can also tell you that the european parliament is going to be meeting in strasburg today to discuss the situation in catalonia also quite crucial because one people have been saying here to us that they want the european union to get involved in what's going on but it's obviously been made quite clear that anybody within the european union is not supportive of accounts lonia becoming independent so it's going to be interesting to see what unravels within the european parliament there certainly condone the violence that unraveled here especially on the day of the referendum with the police cracking on election polls and injuring over eight hundred people according to council and authorities which in itself led to hundreds tons of thousands of people coming out onto the streets of catalonia yesterday we saw a major day of general striking where people have been coming out onto the streets

blocking traffic businesses shutting down football club barcelona taking place in the strikes and as a series of these protests people have been coming out and that's what they've been telling us let's take a listen. the family of us are going to not we will not accept anything like this any more will we heart for candor we just want you to use all right to vote and we think it's not because of. the moment. the ship or. someone you have to be. the. i know you think. that if. you're a kid. you actually know. what. they're. well of course as you can see there people are quite determined to continue fighting with this issue we are expecting the protests to take place later on today potentially so really lots of things to watch out for here in barcelona

given this is a very crucial time within the next couple of days which is going to be determining really not what only happens to this region but what kind of sound all this region is going to be sending throughout europe so certainly we'll be watching here throughout the day had an hour in a very crucially to how the government in madrid new police are going to react again will it be more trouble on the streets or the play for an all to watch all right well thanks for being across it will come but you later in the situation of the barcelona we spoke to former catalan m.p. who says the vote is legal according to international law well done to me early on vote for doing that and that's ninety percent was for then up and then and now we are protesting against this violence and supporting the unilateral declaration of independence that declare in the following days people have the right to father their nation so for enemies legal because the united nations and.

laws of the united nations are subject there were a national right is a right is totally legal this can see there are an. international laws passed all word. spanish confucian. so many elements of this crisis rippling out snow even crossed into football in spain big game there the national teams of course preparing for the final qualifiers to reach the twenty eighteen world cup in russia bus loads of friend a drug into all this gerard piqué an outspoken backer of catalan independence he was booed as he trained with the national squad. i. you can see this room guys really torn between a sport as hot as mention piquet's from catalonia it had a glittering career for both his club and the spanish national team for whom he won the world and european cup however piquet said that he is willing to retire from

international football over all this over a staunch backing of catalan independence you can see is really upset you will of the minute bus load of football club to you is a focal point of cattle and nationalism supporters can be heard chanting independent slogans during matches after seventy minutes and fourteen seconds the meaning of that is that in seventeen fourteen that was the year that catalonia became a part of spain the club also took part in the strike against the government too it must be noted after a game behind closed doors because of fears of crowd safety just last weekend joe picker then made an emotional speech but independence during a t.v. interview check this saw you in the sea and got to land a year stores old or in my skin and in total you're sure. that i will never go to build the bomb or yes i mean it's almost a little too much of the notion of close. your. you know you don't want to. was nor your name or not.

or procured of. craig ashore you. are going to. follow. gerald pink a far from happy manual for their part spanish authorities in response continue to say they see the vote as illegal and unconstitutional the european union says it won't condemn the police violence in spain and instead has given its backing to the spanish prime minister to resolve the crisis. other story we're following today king salmon of saudi arabia said to make a storage visit to russia it's been considered controversial too and also groundbreaking is the first ever official trip of a saudi monarch to russia he set to meet for talks with vladimir putin jacqueline booga tells us what to expect. saudi king solomon is coming to moscow and it's the

first time in the kingdom's history that its monarch is officially visiting russia the trips being heralded as a groundbreaking visit and here's why numerous unprecedented energy deals are on the table for one moscow and riyadh plan a one billion dollar fund to invest in a wide range of projects from oil and gas to renewable energy plus russian firms are apparently discussing an agreement with saudi energy giant aramco for joint ventures on saudi soil riyadh is also looking to invest in russian gas production which could benefit both countries given that if you just use needle in about six a bit about developing relations between our countries and expanding business school energy is still a dominating thing russia and saudi arabia of the biggest producing countries and we could use our experience in the field. and benefits for all states. essentially what it boils down to is two of the top players on the world energy market responsible for a quarter of global oil production are forging ever closer ties which will

definitely have a global impact cutting oil output is also on the cards paving the way to extend a historic opec deal they helped to seal last year. but some warn moscow in riyadh have a history of tension and seem unlikely partners between locking horns on the oil market and saudi arabia's close ties to the u.s. with whom relations with russia have hit new lows such close cooperation could also seem quite surprising but despite saudi arabia's reignited love affair with the trumpet ministration the opec kingpin also needs russia a key and growing player both on the world energy market and in the middle east. ahead controversial by prisoners linked to the nine eleven attacks on display in

new york city. thank. you. if. they put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or some want to. have to go right to be this is

what before extreme can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters of our. city. again the u.s. authorities have released body camera video of police responding to the deadly last vegas shooting which took the lives of fifty nine and injured over five hundred shots can be dramatic pictures coming up piers officers try to locate that gunman he was up in that hotel of course and they're trying to get the people out of the fall in line to see the safety of it all happen so quickly. yet here their drugs are at them and over the way. they're either through right out of guys everybody stay down stay down. this way this way this way this way to say will

go go go go go out without without without one america's still them trying to come to terms with what happens the deadliest shooting in its history as it turned out some are using it as a platform for their political aspirations to go from says santiago explains about them. vegas used to be known as the city of entertainment is now associated with yet another charity to shook america and the world stories of bravery and self-sacrifice grief for their loved ones the struggle of coming to terms after the worse mass shooting in modern u.s. history but now this tragedy has got dragged into political mudslinging here is c.b.s. is vice president of business affairs in her view on the horror i'm actually not even sympathetic because country music fans often the republican gun. yes she was fired shortly after that post of course following with an apology but the rest of the media haven't been shy of pigeon holing the massacre into their political and bi partisan agenda something else i think to keep in mind

a lot of these country music supporters were likely from supporters and this is something that of course is hitting the tapestry of all americans and it's not just the news outlets celebrities fall in line just as easily saying there's just no way not to politicize this event after all it contains three of the most controversial elements in america's melting pot white men with guns and we obviously can guess who those type of men are said to support should you be surprised not really even national disasters are used to point the finger at political opponents here as hollywood's darling jennifer lawrence essentially blaming the hurricanes on trump that climate change is due to human activity and we continue to ignore and the only voice that we really have is through voting. early voting and it was really startling. thing watching these hurricanes now and it really tired especially while promoting this movie not to. feel mother nature is rage and wrath

and online you could also see people cheering for the floods because they quote our colognes in texas from racist white people and it doesn't change from one horrific event to another no matter if it's a hurricane or a mass shooting so what are we left with the so much needed uniting. the face of tragedy is marred by hateful messages of division think about it perhaps the giago r.t. . detainees from guantanamo prison are about their creative side go on show at an exhibition in new york city over the artists is suspected of having taken part in the deadliest terror attack in u.s. history two of his column open has been to see the exhibits and get the reaction from locals. an unusual entrance into the new york city art scene this is art from guantanamo bay thirty six pieces of art created by detainees and get mall some of the artists whose work is on display are a bit controversial to say the least. organizers

of the exhibition say they did it to draw attention to the prisoner's plight the goal of the exhibition is to give other people a different way to think about this man but also for them to think about themselves in a different way there are workers on display on the very same island where the twin towers once stood we decided to talk to some new yorkers and see how they feel about this controversial exhibit sixteen years after nine eleven i can see why that would be difficult for a lot of new yorkers are inside resume are two different things and usually a fairly recent doesn't both as the same think it's a sensitive issue. you know to give support to people who brought

a lot of you know bloodshed it's still very visceral even years later i think the memories are still there in new york how would i tell the bad it in two thousand and two. i would have been surprised it would even get this far. in germany two suspected members of the infamous nazi death squad have been identified by jewish human rights organization one of the directors of the rights group from suit off claims the men are responsible for some of the nazi units would assist atrocities. almost three thousand people served in the eyes at school and i thought it's impossible that all these people are dead so i had the names and dates of birth in my files of the one thousand and sixty nine people had served in the eyes it's still been and i went over all the dates of birth and found eighty people who had been born in one nine hundred twenty or later and on september first two thousand and fourteen i submitted that list to the german authorities and eighteen

months later i was informed by the central office for the classification of nazi war crimes that they were interested in eight of these names but i didn't hear anything else from them and had no idea what was going on and i know that every day that goes by without bringing these people to justice makes it only easier for them to elude justice so i sent the list to the german television station and they were able to find these two individuals who were living openly under their names and despite their advanced age in quite good health. during world war two the nazi task force took an active role in mass killings among them was the massacre of over thirty three thousand jews in baba yaga in ukraine shortly after the war ended twenty four of the death squads leaders were charged for crimes against humanity. about ten years ago the german judicial authorities change their prosecution policy

viz a viz nazi war criminals now any person who served in a nazi death camp a death camp is a concentration camp with the apparatus for mass annihilation which is either gas chambers or gas friends or served in the eyes at scroope and can be almost automatically convicted. for service based on service alone. for example first of all one of the people denies participating in in any atrocities he says that he was a mechanic but that's irrelevant in other words he was a mechanic working on cars or trucks that took the shoot is to the pits to kill the jews so there's no question he's an accessory to murder. punishment for excessively to murder is as i said between five and fifteen years in

prison and obviously when you give a person who's ninety four a five year sentence that's basically a life sentence don't be fooled into seeing frail old people think of people who in the flower of their youth with the height of their physical power they spent all their energy mass murdering innocent men women and children. keep across almost always twenty four seven at. home just. didn't used to pull for you the next half hour keeping our eyes on krasnodar in southern russia vladimir putin is there it's a a an energy conference we might well comment on what's happened in the syria the leader of the newsroom terror group spina gravely injured and twelve senior commanders that have been killed he might be talking about that if he does we'll have a break our next program and take you straight to it cable to cross that and bring you all the latest news throughout the afternoon here on th q she's back in theory in thirty minutes time for me for now goodbye.

respect i have to say i don't think that's right. people went from pretty simple financial. to the point now where people are. just totally submerged in their financial accounts and they're all in debt and what exactly do. try to do. it might be making things worse. room. this is where they pissed america's. fifteen.
