10:01 am
but some of the country's worst may be acts serial killers terrorists and even cannibal held. from moscow to the world this is our international my names you know neil welcome to the program we begin with our breaking news this hour from egypt according to the country state media at least two hundred people have been killed and a further one hundred thirty injured in an attack on a mosque in the north sinai region cairo based journalist jim. joins us live now with the details hi jake up on the talk on worshippers attending a service seemingly both bombs and guns used at least one blast what more are we learning about this incident. security services are not saying
10:02 am
a lot about the details of this attack but we already know what the attack means to the egyptian people this is an attack on the state supported mosque in the north sinai this is an attack on the kind of islam that's promulgated by the egyptian administration one that denounces renounces terrorism and we see that the jihad is now have decided to go not only against up against the government and up against christians but against muslim or person who are choosing the path of moderate islam that is the mainstream form of that religion here in egypt just to touch upon the reason why the mosque was targeted in india talk because earlier jacob we saw a deadly bombing earlier this year took place at a church and indeed before that no it seems that mosque are being targeted more frequently. yes and this is why the country is now entering
10:03 am
a very sad period a period of three days of official mourning and we see that there is really a stark ideological confrontation here between the kind of islam promulgated by isis and al qaeda and the kind of islam that embraced by the egyptian administration and by moderate countries like for instance united arab emirates and what we're seeing from saudi arabia these days and so this is becoming a religious war inside of islam that has implications way beyond egypt itself but but to the wider sunni middle east we've just been checking the wires and who is claiming responsibility for this attack there has been i believe no word as yet all not who you think could be behind this violence. well as you said officially we don't know when and officially we do know who operates terror organizations in the sinai and there are groups that are affiliated with isis there are groups
10:04 am
affiliated with al qaeda and the egyptians of course are very angry with the sources of financing for this kind of terror and they have put as you know they have consistently fingered qatar and they have hinted that turkey as well has supported terrorism in the sinai so the anger level here is very high against those people because terrorism costs money i mean just like military operations cost money to have people motivated to do these martyrdom operations you have to pay them and their families so somebody is paying for it and the egyptians are going to want to go hard up against those folks and you know we await that reaction as well from the state of course as to what happens next cairo based journalist jake up shelf there thank you very much for the update. if you will in this hour the u.k. prime minister treason may house again label russia a threat to europe and call for a unified action to culture they perceive minnes she made the comment in brussels
10:05 am
ahead of the eastern partnership summit on an initiative focused on bringing together countries from across europe. we must feel denied by the actions of hostile states like russia neighborhood and trying to tell our collective strength . and i'm looking forward to journey to win huge commitments from european countries to working together attend you've got the leaders from you craig georgia . armenia. 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.
10:06 am
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 russia was up to and she issued a warning to vladimir putin 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 they want to look at the speech i gave on monday they will
10:07 am
see that the examples i gave of russian interference were not in the united kingdom now this talk of russia being a threat is attracted. a lot of column inches here in the u.k. and it's drawn 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 has 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 threat talking about how much of a threat russia poses appears to be the one thing that. the u.k. can agree on is right now at a time when those brags that divorce negotiations are so fractious. president will go is facing an. after demanding that m.p.'s not use twitter during sessions in the german parliament let's cross over right now peter all of
10:08 am
our he's been following the details for us peter intriguing the listeners on one hand i suppose you've heard the argument saying well parliament should be transparent we want to get the information out to the people as soon as it comes in the new other side saying you shouldn't be tweeting you should be concentrating what are m.p.'s saying about all this. well this is caused a backlash from the m.p.'s it all started with this letter that was written to them by bundestag president ford going show it said basically you should be concentrating on what's happening in the parliament session while you're in the parliament session you shouldn't be tweeting in terms of of transparency. is streamed live on t.v. you saying that those who are in there should be concentrating on what they're doing well it prompted a reaction from m.p. saying that the president of the bundestag should be concentrating on what he's doing as the president because they want to tweet. gadgets for tweeting iran
10:09 am
wanted you can watch the session live but we can't tweet anything about the plenary session so if you go outside the plenary hall it will be ok for facebook and instagram fine to use with a handwritten letter p ok that makes no sense i won't lead choi blair bun tweeting from the bundestag haggling is a part of parliamentary debate at esalen heckling so what you shouldn't have to go outside for that i have little understanding why twitting is banned in the bundestag transparency also includes commenting on current events. well we have a look at what was contained in this open letter said this members who were tweeting were being inappropriate he didn't make any reference to other social media platforms like facebook or instagram but i think it's heavily implied within what he says he's rather vague what he says as well one message ends that it is
10:10 am
inappropriate to your participation in a big party or calls on parliamentarians to conduct themselves in an appropriate monitor their parliament terry session. but then of course we do also have footage of a phone schauble himself playing on a tablet during a parliamentary session so a little bit of the do as i say not as i do from here sure then and of merkel of course is regularly pictured in parliament with her phone in her hand hardly tweeting it's not really her style but she's always on it and quite famed for having a very close to her but what this really shows is the state of german politics at the moment it's in a very tense position the coalition talks between four parties for angela merkel to form a new government where they broke down at the beginning of the week there's a small chance of a grand coalition being rekindled but it does seem that those at the upper echelons of german politics are wanting to keep
10:11 am
a lid on what happens at this time of uncertainty for german politics perhaps getting a government together would be the priority in that one it is as i say an intriguing one peter all of our live from berlin with the update on the thank you. special report now on a unique look inside one of russia's most notorious prisons the black dolphin us it's no ice is 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 hundreds of inmates on is known for its brutal rules and grueling conditions our correspondent right does they have was granted snow ordinary prison the mere sight of this statue has
10:12 am
broken the moved so ruthless butches the black gold thing russia's highest security prison it is here that some of the country's worst maniac serial killer as 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 dreadful 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 in that and people. seven hundred inmates sentenced to life between them they've killed almost food thousand people everything is procedural everything intended to minimize risk from sleeping
10:13 am
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 did to be here to that end every cell door has a description of the inmates crimes and the sympathy the gods might feel disappear is immediately. you ask me if i do it again i've thought about it and it would have been better if i 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 took on a rival gang after killing their enemies they attempted to get rid of witnesses ordinary civilians in a restaurant seven dead eight injured both he and his father and castrated
10:14 am
here do 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 him bettered it is so easy to turn into an animal here some say a life sentence is worse than the death penalty. but i've been here for seventeen years and i've never heard anyone say they don't regret it or 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 saluted his family his father his mother and his brother he was twenty now he's forty five. we watch t.v. we see people who have committed two or three murders get sentenced to seventeen or
10:15 am
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 all they would want is a normal life here 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 him home most will never see release control is total god's check on everyone every fifteen minutes in cell cameras a monitored twenty four seven and there's three doors to every cell this is a cell for those sentenced to life it's locked with a full metal door a cage door and another one for complete security we essentially have
10:16 am
a cell within a cell it's easy to see why no one has ever escaped from the black dolphin and for most the uni sure way out is in a coffin or i guess the odyssey from seoul in let's russia. yes summer you definitely don't want to end up sixty minutes past six pm this friday evening here in moscow with more news right don't. be surprised if a deal is made selling fannie mae and freddie mac. people's bank of china so that it's actually china becomes america's biggest landlord and keeping prices down and the. global harmony and this is i think what we're can expect in the next few years because the u.s. is the world's biggest debtor china is the world's biggest creditor so you put
10:17 am
those two together you have the biggest creditor taking on some of the u.s. . government guaranteed fannie mae freddie macas all the people to borrow money on those games they've got chinese landlords that's. the israeli prime minister has opened up about the nature of his country's cooperation with
10:18 am
a number of our of nations binyamin netanyahu say he's agreements are normally struck in secret tel aviv is seeking to continue working the very way. proactive cooperation with arab countries is usually coverts i believe that this relations will continue to develop and that they will be a fruit for the expansion of the peace orbit but it's not all secret in a perhaps symbolic the splay to saudi arabia officials were seen visiting a synagogue in paris with the media describing it as a nod to israel when it comes after the israeli defense forces chief said the country was ready to share intelligence on iran with the saudis. explains why tel aviv and 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 of communication between the israeli
10:19 am
enemy and any arab countries. israel is going ahead with its crimes against the people of palestine and lebanon taking advantage of the silence of countries worldwide. yes at that island 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 time they are cool so the motivating factor for these are likely 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 area also to be against iran in this matter differently that was absolutely israel which we're launching
10:20 am
a huge campaign since ages since years against iran and so there will be a kind of closeness between israel and saudi arabia thinking both that the major 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 afghanistan is the primary issue within the muslim world that while it seems not anymore well this comes as 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 says riyadh. readers they study repeat closed london see access to the country in early november to stop the alleged flow of weapons from iran it's not yet known when the coalition with a low a through the ports of who data which is vital for food in the us which
10:21 am
military and groups have. this stage the head of the norwegian refugee council describes it as illegal collective punishment while humanitarian chief mark luke oxys 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 feeding seven million people every month through the u.n. 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 the 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 been doing we have had you know sensible pragmatic discussions about that we are
10:22 am
expecting to send two missions to rabea 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 airports and into the day to ports and salif port. to know the story of sparking a lot of debate in the u.k. scores of muslim women have reacted angrily to plans to ask girls in england's prime miscues why they are wearing head scarves they say it would be inappropriate discriminatory move by school inspectors for some of the pupils themselves it's a question of choice and self-confidence. i am a ten year old british born muslim girl who chose to wear the hijab and know that when you look at me you instantly see i'm that my parents was me to you could not be more wrong you are doing offset it's ruining my confidence and self-esteem as a young girl and the confidence of many other you took. school inspectors say the
10:23 am
move is about monitoring whether worrying a good job might be interpreted as the sexualization of young girls we also warn the person should speak god if they're concerned about fundamentalists groups influencing school policy and the slavic human rights campaigner that we spoke to so use children's clothes are not the government's business. this is something that should be a free choice between the parent 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 being part of this society being allowed to the freedom to practice our faith as long as we're not harming other other individuals well that's where we leave the news for no money as you know and we'll see you again in thirty five minutes time.
