prison. these. are some of the country's worst maniacs serial killers terrorists and you would have them held. around the clock across the world this is our international from the team myself you know neil welcome to the program we begin with breaking news from egypt where the death toll from an attack on a mosque in the north sinai province has risen to one hundred eighty four those figures according to egyptian state media well cairo based journalist jack up joins me live now with the details on this. this will be one of the deadliest

attacks of twenty seventeen if the figures are verified we're just hearing one hundred eighty four is the latest what else are you learning about what occurred there. the casualty numbers are of course in flux this is the most devastating attack on the civilian facility in egypt probably in decades we are still waiting for final numbers here from the ministry of health and from security sources and this attack is really when we're talking about it happening in north sinai that's true but it's the part of north sinai that's half way between the border crossing with gaza. and the suez canal in cairo so this wave of terrorism is getting closer to cairo what we think about last month's attack on the always is here in the province i'm in giza prob a province there was an attack just a month ago about fifty kilometers away from where i am right now bring us

right up to date on what is occurring there as you say a state of flux in terms of casualty numbers cairo based journalist jake up after thank you for that. the u.k.'s prime minister treason may as again label russia a threat to europe and call for a unified action to counter the perceived menace she made the comment in brussels ahead of the eastern partnership summit on initiative focused on bringing together countries across europe we must be open eyes to find the actions of states like russia russia and the potential presence of the east maybe hoods and trying to. connect to strength. and i'm looking forward to today to new commitments from european countries working together to tackle these challenges and security on different. ok that's what was said let's join holy book alive now for a little bit more bach trying to on this probably what we have been here before not

so long ago with the u.k. pm similar statements as well tell us more about what was said today. well it varies a maze in brussels for a summit that's all about eastern europe they're talking about things like security cooperation and shared challenges and in fact it's not just states that have been invited to attend you've got the leaders from ukraine georgia and moldova armenia is a barge and so pretty much any country bordering russia gotten the invite so hardly surprising that talk turned to russia pretty quickly what some people might find surprising though is the level of the u.k.'s involvement in these european issues given that the u.k. is currently actively trying to negotiate its way out of the european union nevertheless the u.k. at this summit is pledging one hundred million pounds to counter what they

call russian descent from ation in eastern europe and there's a further fifteen million pounds being pledged from london in order to fund reform and security in eastern europe too and this whole russia as a threat line isn't new to reason may has become quite vocal on this issue she used an important for foreign policy speech last week to say that she knew what when russia was up to and she issued a warning to glad to meet putin's saying that his attempts to undermine western democratic values won't work through things like meddling in elections and planting fake news stories although she later did clarify that she wasn't referring to the u.k. when she was saying that take a lesson. to look at the speech i gave on monday that will see the examples i gave

of russian interference when not in the united kingdom. now this talk of russia being a threat it's attracted a lot of column inches here in the u.k. and it's drawing the fire away really from a lot of other news stories about for example that it's been plaguing to reason may about how fragile how government is at the moment how badly the braggs it talks have been going and of course in terms of the e.u. having a common thread talking about how much of a threat russia poses as pays to be the one thing that. the u.k. can agree on right now at a time when there is a break is it divorce negotiations say fractious. polyploid who's speaking to us live from london on this issue thank you very much well the channel r.t. has also been criticizing a number of prominent british conservative party politicians take

a look. at . the leader of germany's social democratic party martin schulze sees the country is facing a challenging period after talks to form a coalition government fell through germany is in a complicated state. the attempt by the su to use c.s.u. after the green use to build a government has failed spectacularly after weeks of negotiations well germany's

role as the he use it main player is looking shaky now squabbling over coalition terms continues to leave the country without a government for now a special puddles being set up just so that parliament can keep on working but it's taking berlin's attention away from its power highest position on brussels top table that could mean opportunities for others and us or europe correspondent explains. it's not often in a game of cards that a joke beats a queen but in the game of e.u. power poker the money call may be trying to do just last and use her coal is the use de facto leader not so long ago this would have been unthinkable as uncle merkel was proclaimed foreign white as the leader of the free world.

the chancellor's attention focused firmly on her failure to form a government following the breakdown of coalition talks means that crown looks decidedly steady and that's where the money steps forward the french president is one of the youngest leaders in the world at thirty nine and he comes with some ambitious plans on how he says the european union needs to change. i want to true european asylum office to be created we should progressively establish a european border police. a budget can only go hand in hand with strong political leadership led by a common finance minister europe must have a joint intervention force a common defense budget and

a joint doctrine of action his plans are expansive and would result in more powers going to brussels germany isn't on side with all of his ideas but should that be a shift in the power dynamic between the two countries that might not matter at all france at the helm of europe exercising its dominance certainly rings a bell if you look back through the history books. and once welcomed another young french leader who had big ideas on how to change europe. another win for president mccall is now the london based european banking authority will move to parse when britain exits the bloc political philosopher tom brooks from durham law school sais that if mccrone strengthens his hand up the european union breaks it talks will get a whole lot tougher with the problems that the maids been having at home with a weak minority government we look across to europe with angela merkel having trouble other problems than with other european countries make wrong looking strong

it's not a good time to want to to go she new things with europe when europe has many other things on its plate the real problem here the real headache for the british and theresa may with mccrone is that mccrone ran on a platform of being very pro european and he's very much euro filed support of greater coordination of europe europe coming closer together so i think again bad news for the prime minister. ok time for a special report the unique look inside one of russia's most notorious prisons the block dolphin as it's known has some of the country's most dangerous and violent criminals all are locked away for life for heinous crimes.

the facility was built in the eighteenth century today it holds hundred some inmates and is known for its brutal rules and grueling conditions our correspondent right because the if was granted access to the site. in these provincial town the edge of siberia is a prison but it's no ordinary prison the mere sight of the statue has broken the most soulless butchers the black doll thing russia's highest security prison it is here that some of the country's worst maniacs serial killers terrorists and even cannibals i held in this cell a man who raped forty four miners and killed five children aged seven to eleven some of the people in this prison will never be allowed out so we dread for the

things that they've done and then the man in a drunken killing frenzy killed six of his friends in this cell a murderer killed eleven people. seven hundred inmates sentenced to life between them they've killed almost four thousand people everything is procedural everything intended to minimize risk from sleeping schedules to how inmates are a school that bend to the waist and blindfolded so they can't memorize the prisons layout. it may seem excessive humiliating even but do not forget what these people to be to that end every cell door has a description of the inmates crimes and the sympathy that gods might feel disappears immediately. you ask me if i do it again and i thought

about it and it would have been better for died with them i probably wouldn't have done it it is better to die than sacrifice others eagle was just over twenty when he and his father dakota rival gangs and after killing their enemies they attempted to get rid of witnesses. ordinary civilians in a restaurant seven dead eight injured move he and his father and castrated here to see each other sometimes when he fell ill they transferred me to help him for a while the most important thing is to avoid becoming in bits and it is so easy to turn into an animal here some say a life sentence is worse than the death penalty. i've been here for seventeen years and i've never heard anyone say they don't regret it's what they'd kill more i'm sorry but that's nonsense. i regret it everything is

lost and the years go by your health worsens everything passes by i think there are a few people left in here who think they did the right thing they are show you that you were wrong totally wrong you can't do that. dmitri snorted his family his father his mother and his brother he was twenty now he's forty five why didn't he say we watch t.v. we see people who have committed two or three murders get sentenced to seventeen or nineteen years that isn't so terrible yes we are guilty before the law yes we are guilty before the public but if they're left out after twenty years why are there fraid of letting us out who in their fifty's could be bothered to do anything for all they would want is a normal life. the difference is that life sentences are mostly reserved for crimes of such brutality that they escape reason for individuals deemed a permanent danger to society one inmate released early from the black dolphin

committed a murder on the very train that was taking your. lives will never see release control is total god's check on everyone every fifteen minutes in self cameras i'm one of the twenty four seven and there's three doors to where. this is so for those sentenced to life it's locked with a full metal door a cage door and another one for complete security and we essentially have a cell within a so. it's easy to see more no one has ever escaped from the black don't think the moves the sure we use in a call for war against the sea from so let's russia. quite an insight a school inspectors in the u.k. or plumbing to quiz muslim girls as young as four about why the where he job

details coming up. johnson medical is i think at least partially. responsible you could you could say for breaks it one could say she supported breaks it which is good because with their policy he she made it easier for those advocating to leave it to leave because they see that they could see how we are struggling with the with the policy off on with the with the millions of migrants coming into europe and then india and also maybe coming to you can i. make this manufactured sentenced to public will. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the fine merry go

round be the one percent. we can all middle of the room sit. in the news room. you're back with r t international the is really prime minister has opened up about the nature of his country's cooperation with a number of our nation's been human netanya says' agreements are normally struck in secret and not tell of eve is seeking to continue working the way proactive cooperation with arab countries is usually called but i believe that this relations will continue to develop and that they will be a fruit for the expansion of the peace orbit however it's not all hushed up in a perhaps symbolic this plea to saudi officials who are seen visiting

a synagogue in part this with the media describing it as a quote nod to israel. but it comes after the israeli defense forces chief said the country was ready to share intelligence on iran with saudi arabia just seemed to get explains why tel aviv on the riyadh could be willing to overlook their differences israel has been a thorn in the side of a number of middle eastern states for what feels like forever singled out and attacked it was just a fact of life. we are freezing all the forms and one of us off communication between the israeli enemy and any arab countries while an israel is going ahead with its crimes against the arab people of palestine and lebanon taking advantage of the silence of countries worldwide that people should that i live in the world is witnessing the reality and the nature of the israeli occupation the cruelty and barbarism of this race is regime committing war crimes and crimes against humanity just a few years ago the idea of saudi arabia and israel getting into bed together would

have been shocking to say the least but now they look to be on the same page all the times they are changing and whispers of growing ties between israel and the arab world are getting louder. respect the other side's wish when times are developing whether it's we saudi arabia or with other arab countries we are willing to exchange information with moderate arab countries including intelligence information there are many common interests between us a high ranking israeli military official has even been quoted as saying that he agreed with every word his saudi counterpart said at a conference in d.c. adding he felt like they could have been his own words being read by the saudi chief now there is a clear reason for this shift remember the old adage of the enemy of my enemy is my friend i think this is a wake up call for everyone when israelis and arabs and it's all the arabs and israel i want to agree on one thing. people should pay attention we should stop the

syrian takeover so the motivating factor for these unlikely bedfellows is iran's and the fear of tehran's growing influence in the region is so strong that it has even elbowed aside the question of palestine it's quite obvious that the saudis would consider today that the major threat in the area is the iranian and that's why they were looking for any allies in the in the area also to be against iran in this matter differently that was absolutely israel which we're launching a huge campaign since ages since years against iran so there would be a kind of closeness between israel and saudi arabia i think in both that the major enemy in the region is in iran and that's why we believe that you know this i would these are willing to negotiate even the arab initiative to start with the normalization with israel even before they are addressing the palestinian question and this is absolutely is not acceptable iran has even tried to bring palestine

back into focus today that issue of palestine is the primary issue within the muslim world while it seems not anymore. meanwhile the saudi led coalition has moved the deadline for lifting the blockade on yemen which has brought the country to the brink of famine a u.n. spokesperson say is riyadh will real pain the euro put in the yemeni capital for humanitarian flights on something which previously promised to do that on thursday so to be a closed early land and sea access to the country in early november to stop the alleged flow of weapons from iran it's not yet known when the coalition will allow aid through the port of who data which is vital for food deliveries. tyrian groups have condemned the siege the head of the norwegian refugee council described it as a legal collective punishment well the u.n. humanitarian chief serve mark low cox's it could spark the worst famine the world

has seen in decades we spoke to him about the crisis. the effects of the blockade has been to make it much more difficult around the aid operation at the moment where feeding seven million people every month through the un and our partners in yemen we are providing water services for four million people and we are we made very good progress through the world health organization children's fund the red cross and others in bringing this terrible cholera epidemic under control but the point is until the food and the fuel and the medicines get back in there we won't be able to sustain those operations in the way we have to do and we have had you know sensible pragmatic discussions about that we are expecting to send two missions to saudi arabia to look at the detail the arrangements for getting aid in more successfully once we get the operation up and running again in the way it needs to be both interest in our airport and into the day to ports and to leave

port. scores of muslim women have reacted angrily supplants to us girls in england's primary schools why they're wearing headscarves they say it would be an inappropriate and discriminatory move by school inspectors for some of the pupils themselves it's a question of choice self-confidence they say i'm a ten year old british born muslim guy who changed who had the job and know that when you look at me you instantly see him that my parents was me to you could not be more wrong you are doing after that it's ruining my confidence and self-esteem and the young and the confidence of many other he took. or school inspectors say the move is about monitoring whether wearing a he job might be interpreted as the sexualization of young girls they also warn that person should speak if they're concerned about fundamentalist groups influencing school policy and the human rights campaign or we spoke to say yes children's clothes are not the government's business. this is something that should

be a free choice between the parents and the children and it should be something personal and it's not for the state to intervene in such an issue well it's not necessarily them being made to wear it sometimes it's many girls choice choices i have young girls in my family who chose to wear the headscarf at the age of eight or nine i personally see this this is another reason for poor institutional islam. where where really. as a muslim community first we heard about trojan horse now we're hearing about muslim young women being targeted when is this going to stop when are we just going to be accepted as being british as being part of this society being allowed to the freedom to practice our faith as long as we're not harming the other individuals. ok to another story we've been keeping a close eye on during the day that's to do it black friday. about

employees actually selling their vests to people to go on skip jews. basically take advantage of all what's going on today you know one person actually did that in his joke turned viral viral on many people overreacted to the idea let's take a look at this. did i really you know i didn't know i could be reform it all with me it was sort of the life. of the world.

i i i i'm well for more on the deadly attack on a mosque in egypt which is seen heard least one hundred eighty four people lose their lives if you go to our t.v. dot com it's got the latest updates so you said.

years ago i traveled across the united states exploring america's deadly love affair with the gun bad guy tried to get to one of my family members he would have better a lot better and i think they are and hurting when i buy my babies says my book was published in the year two thousand more than whole for a million americans have been killed by forums in the us where how does thought i did this is a middle school we go through drills and we put ourselves in real scenarios it was interesting to see who actually got hit by the gun i decided to return to the

subject to track down each gun owner who i'd met and photographed those years ago i don't know this but we are not. in america a college degree requires a great deal. paying a decades long dead. studying so hard it requires drugs. going through humiliation to enter society. and partying to death sometimes quite literally. wants other true colors of universities in the

us. serious years long catastrophe is coming to a close for the backing of opposition in terrorist forces are in retreat in face eradication but the struggle just far from home for the war is essentially one. last peaceful. germany is an unprecedented political limbo with coalition talks collapsing the country may be had a it into a snap election with uncertain results.
