more than two hundred people are reportedly killed and another one hundred wounded in the. north sinai province. also ahead this hour the u.k.'s prime minister hits russia for a second time in less than two weeks. shown no sign of a breakthrough with a number of key issues still on. the bundestag president angers german lawmakers by the use of twitter during the parliamentary session. also coming up a high security facility that strikes fear in the hearts of even most hardened criminals. to the block dolphin the nation's toughest.

but some of the country maybe acts. he would have held. from moscow to the world this is our two international my names you know neil welcome to the program we begin with breaking news from egypt state run media in the country say two hundred thirty five people are being killed in an attack on a mosque in the north sinai region of two hundred more are reportedly wounded. the assault took place during friday prayers the attackers are said to have arrived in four off road vehicles set off a bomb as well at the site they've been open. fire people tried to flee the

country's president has called an emergency meeting to decide how to respond it's not yet known who's behind me but media say government drones have already killed fifteen people allegedly who were behind the atrocity cairo based journalist worth schefter has more security services are not saying 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 locations way beyond egypt itself but but to the wider sunni middle east. the u.k.'s prime minister trees in me has again labeled russia a threat to europe call for collective 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 from across europe. denied by the actions of hostile states like russia russia and the potential princes eastern neighborhood and trying to tell our collective strengths. and i'm looking forward to journey to renew commitments from european countries to working together to tackle these challenges in both security and development theories amaze in brussels for a summit that's all about eastern europe they're talking about things like security cooperation and shadow 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. 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 dissin 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 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 look at the speech i gave on monday that was either the examples i gave of russian interests were 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 drawn the fire away really from a lot of other news stories about for example that it's been plaguing to reason way 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 thread to talking about how much of a threat russia poses appears to be the one thing that e.u. leaders and the u.k. can agree on is right now at a time when those brags that divorce negotiations are so fractious poly

boy girl will talk to me you really you who go on to lose the reason is simply trying to divert attention from other issues. well it's clearly true some may say in smoke and mirrors she's trying to deflect and take away the fact that today she's going to give the e.u. forty billion euros of our money so russia is the convenience who would pay boys shall we say therefore this she won't be prime minister for much longer she's just struggling like her failed chancellor to keep her job and i think on a security level as well we should be getting into an antagonist antagonistic relationship with russia we should be working with russia to defeat our common enemy. the new bundestag president wolf going sure is facing an angry backlash after the manning that m.p.'s not used twitter during sessions in the

german parliament here's peter oliver who spoke to me earlier with the details of the experience former finance minister and now president of the bundestag has sent a message to his fellow parliamentarians stop tweeting during bundestag sessions and they have responded and they are not happy with the police that president gadgets for tweeting iran 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 our facebook and instagram find to use a handwritten letter be ok that makes no sense i won't lead choice bonds with me from the bundestag haggling is a part of parliamentary debate at esalen haggling so what you shouldn't have to go outside for that. i have little understanding why twittering is banned in the bundestag transparency also includes commenting on current events. laid out his

problems with tweeting in a letter to all members of the bundestag he said it was inappropriate didn't mention any other platforms by name but i think it's implied that he meant they were supposed to post things on instagram or facebook as well some of the wording raises a little smile he says in this letter that a parliamentarian should conduct themselves and a manner that is appropriate to their participation in a plenary session all very good things to say so here's some pictures of playing sudoku on a tablet during one of those bundestag sessions very much a do as i say not as i do from the president there he's not alone in being caught on camera with a device in his hand chancellor merkel has been pictured quite a few times on the phone while she's in the chamber as well not tweeting though that's hardly a model american style but the fact that show has put out this letter it does show

the ten states of german politics out the moment there is no government coalition talks broke down last last weekend at the beginning of this week coalition talks collapsing there is the slim hope of a grand coalition being rekindled but that is still a long way off and all the time that there's no government here in germany we get closer to there being a call for fresh elections. a special report now on r.t. and a unique look inside one of russia's most notorious prisons the block dolphin as it's known as 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 sound is known for its brutal rules on grueling conditions our correspondent gets the of was granted access to the site in these provincial town at the edge of siberia is a prison but it's no ordinary prison the mere sight of this statue has broken the moved so lists butchers the black hole thing russia's highest security prison it is here but 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 did to be here to that end every cell door has a description of the inmates crimes any sympathy the guards might feel disappears 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 incarcerated 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. 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 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 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 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 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. a unique insight into one of russia's most notorious prisons the news continues right after this.

but politicians do something. they put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. for something i want to. let you go right to be close this is what the three of the more people get. interested always in the waters of. their city.

let's start back in the middle east where the israeli prime minister has opened up about the nature of his country's cooperation with a number of our nation's been human netanyahu says' agreements are normally struck in secret and that television is seeking to continue working just the way. corporation with arab countries is usually called but i believe that this relationship 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 symbolic display two saudis officials were seen visiting a synagogue and partners with the media describing it as a quote nod to israel. what comes after the israeli defense forces chief said the

country was ready to share intelligence on iran with the saudi arabia injecting food explains why tell of eve could be willing to overlook their differences israel has been a thorn in the side of a number of middle eastern states who it feels like forever singled out and attacked it was just a fact of life. we are freezing all the forms and levels of communication between the israeli enemy and any arab countries. israel is going ahead with its crimes against the arab people of palestine and lebanon taking advantage of the silence of countries worldwide to. yes sure that i live in the woods 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 or 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 israelis i want to agree on one thing. people should pay attention we should stop the suffering and take 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 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 thinking both that the major enemy 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 . on yemen which has brought the country to the brink of famine a u.n. spokesperson says' riyadh will reopen the europe orten the yemeni capital for

humanitarian flights on saturday tomorrow though it it's not yet known when the coalition will love aid through the port of ho data which is vital for food deliveries. humanitarian groups have condemned the siege the head of the norwegian refugee council the. scribe's it was illegal collective punishment while the u.n. undersecretary for humanitarian issues mark says it could spark the worst a farm in the world to see it in decades we spoke to him directly about the crisis the effects of the blockade has been to make it much more difficult from the aid operation at the moment where 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 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 airports and into the day to ports and salif port. scores of muslim women have reacted angrily to plans to ask girls in england's primary schools why they're wearing headscarves they say it would be an inappropriate discriminatory move by school inspectors and for some of the pupils themselves it's a question of choice and self-confidence. for muslim girl who chose to wear the hijab i know that when you look at me you instantly assume that my parents was me to you could not be more wrong you are doing office that is ruining my confidence

and self-esteem is the young girl and the confidence of many other little. school inspectors see the moves about monitoring whether wearing hijab might be interpreted as the sexualization of young girls but you also warn that person should speak god if they're concerned about fundamentalist groups influencing school policy on this law make human rights campaigner 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 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 a failure where we're 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. danish football fan has been ordered to leave russia after throwing a flare on the pitch during a match in the country's capital the incident took place on thursday during a game between lokomotiv moscow f c copenhagen as well as being told to leave the country within five days a court demanded the supporter also pay a fine to add installed to injury for him the group believe march ended two on to the locals locomotive. now staying with the footballing theme we've got a lot of stories coming up because it's the latest artie's program stun collymore
