more than two hundred thirty people were reportedly killed in the tack on a mosque in egypt's north sinai province. also this hour an artsy chief donald tusk hints that rushed in to feed in the case breaks it referendum despite the country's prime minister earlier having denied that the bundestag president is german lawmakers by banning the use of twitter during parliamentary session plus a high security facility that strikes fear into the hearts of even russia's most hardened criminals we gain unique access to the black gulf in the nation's toughest prison. it is here that some of the country's worst maniac serial killers terrorists and he would have little held.

but i welcome the international this friday evening which just turned eight o'clock here in the russian capital now our top story an attack on a crowded mosque in egypt's north sinai region has killed at least two hundred thirty five people according to state media becoming one of the deadliest in the country's modern history more than one hundred people are reportedly wounded. this all took place during friday prayers the perpetrators are said to have arrived in for off road vehicles and set off a bomb at the site they then opened fire is people try to flee the country's president has called an emergency meeting to decide how to respond no one has claimed responsibility for the attack but government drones have already reportedly

killed fifteen suspects cairo based journalist jacob shafter has more. curdie 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 it's promulgated by the egyptian administration one that denounces and 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 worse a person who are choosing the path of moderate islam that is the mainstream form of that religion here in egypt we do know who operates terror organizations in the sinai and there are groups that are affiliated with isis there are groups affiliated with al qaeda and the egyptians of course are very angry 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 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. the president of the european council has implied after meeting with the bloke seems to europe a night that the e.u. is not opposed to russia despite that donald tusk did have some harsh criticism for moscow will. just now with more on this story good evening paula so tell us then more about what say. well look this summit is all about eastern europe so they talk about things like security and it's not only attended by. for example . in london.

it's. hostile activity during the british referendum for example. so donald tusk referring there to that foreign policy speech that the reason may gave last week where she tore into moscow she accused the kremlin of attempting to undermine western democratic values through election interference and planting fake news stories but and this is a pretty important but especially for donald tusk she caressed by later on in the week that those sort of russian misdeeds that she referred to were specifically in relation to the u.k. take a listen. they like to look at the speech i gave on monday they will see that the examples i gave of russian interference were not in the united kingdom. well donald

terse clearly didn't get that particular memo from london and this looks now like a case of sort of classic chinese whispers really where the facts really matter because it fits an overarching narrative and that is of russia as a threat to the whole of europe is a narrative that perhaps rather conveniently unifies the e.u. and the u.k. at a time when they have little else in common and to reason they had more to say about russia at the summit today take a listen. we must be open eyes about the actions of hostile states like russia russia and the potential growth of the eastern neighborhood who are trying to tell our collective strength. and i'm looking forward to germany to renew commitments from european countries to working together to tackle the challenges in both

security and development. and despite the fact that the u.k. is actively negotiating is way out of the european union right now at this summit this summit today the u.k.'s pledge to spend one hundred million pounds on countering what it calls russian descent from asia and in eastern europe there's a further fifty million pounds from london going towards reform and security in eastern europe as well and talk of of russia really is quite fruitful from a domestic perspective here in the u.k. it's kind of managed to draw the fire away from extensive media coverage of ministers inappropriate behavior scandals to do with that and constant talk of how fragile the recent days government is. ok thanks patty that was artie's party forests. but before we get more comments well actually no let's do that let's talk

with our next guest now when grant about what was just said there in about trees and made comments when grant is professor of politics of warrick university's with this now good evening to you when what are your thoughts then on this really mean string of anti russian rhetoric by to reason may that we've seen over the last few days and again today. clearly she's been using very strong terminology in the course does play world to mystically but it's also quite useful in the context of the negotiations of the european union because the united kingdom thinks the security is a strong one for it to play in those negotiations and particularly to win support from countries in eastern europe. while i'm what do you make of donald tusk to you because the both of them seem to be acting in tandem today but i don't know if you caught the comments from task it didn't seem that convincing when he was pushed on on evidence particularly relating to britain and breaks it now with the seem to be some confusion between the two of them about what. the he didn't seem to have very

much in the way of the evidence for particular statements he was trying to make but of course the back close to with all these very difficult negotiations on brics it between the united kingdom and the european union. why do you think it would also join in here day at this moment. well i think it's an issue that is perhaps of particular personal concern to him given his background and i suppose he wants in some ways to reach out to the united kingdom. i think from his point of view you would want to see these negotiations to be successful and therefore talking about the security issues is one way of offering some kind of reassurance to the. you were you surprised at the type of language it's a reason why you used to mean calling russia a hostile state saying it's trying to tell our collective sort of states apart in europe i mean she's not mincing of words there but again she uses this sort of

language and doesn't back it up with specifics. well i was quite surprised the language i mean i think to talk about russia or the hostile state is very strong language indeed because form would hope you know for have a constructive relationship between the u.k. the european union and russia not to think that sort of terminology. helps the development as constructive relations result in part because it obviously goes in the opposite direction sure on i was just wondering what sort of reaction would we have if it was the opposite of russian made that sort of comment about britain. well i think the reaction domestically in the course of the but he produces for the rodents the russian intentions of the other being the case because i mean what misses most at the site in relation to russia though it's very strongly worded it is rather very you can terms of specifics and you think people push it to sort of present evidence now it just seems to me when that many people are able to make this sort of comment because it sort of accepted knowledge that russia was somehow

involved without actually people pushing to say ok well what's the evidence and what can we draw from it i still see we'll have to leave it there for now that is when brick university thank you you know at the moment the evacuation came as thousands of shoppers had flocked to central london to shop at the black friday sales these are live pictures we're currently showing at the moment earlier on said there was a customer incident that's what police were saying at oxford circus station information a bit sketchy at the moment but the station has been evacuated these live pictures across will keep of course we'll keep you updated about events there are scenes we get more information. backlash after demanding that m.p.'s do not use twitter during sessions in the german parliament has peter oliver with more. experienced former finance minister with the border state president live but we can't read anything

about the plenary session so if you go on our facebook and instagram fine to use a handwritten letter be ok that makes no sense. i won't lead choice bombs witting from the moon the stuck haggling is a part of parliamentary debate that's why it is silent heckling so what you shouldn't have to go on it's implied that he meant they were supposed to be good things to say so here's some pictures of playing saddam not tweeting though that's hardly a long way off and all the time all the fresh elections international are going to take a quick break. here's what people have been saying about rejected in the senate is full of the only show i go out of my way. to the really packs of. yap is the john oliver of r t america is doing the same we are apparently better than booth nothing. to see people you never heard of love redacted the next

president of the world bank takes it. seriously send us an email. seems wrong wrong just don't call. me. yet to shape out to stay active. and engaged me because betrayal. when something is find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground . welcome back now we have a special report for you a unique look inside one of russia's most notorious prisons the black dolphin as it's known has is some of the country's most dangerous and violent criminals all a locked away for life for heinous crimes.

the facility there was built in the eighteenth century today it does hold hundreds of inmates and is known for its brutal rooms and grueling conditions our correspondent borders guards they have was granted access to the site. in this 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 most solace butchers the black golfing 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 don't 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 thought about it and it would have been better for i died with them i probably wouldn't have done it but it's 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 he and his father and castrated 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 bitted 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 that q.

more i'm sorry but that's nonsense. i regret it everything is lost and the years go by your health they are show you that you were wrong who in their fifties 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 the murder of the very train that was taking him home lives will never see release control is total god's check on everyone every fifteen minutes in cells cameras monitored twenty four seventh's and there's three doors to every cell this is a cell for those sentenced to life it's in such a winter olympics fornace now we're joined by he's got more details for sale here

his national olympic committee decision athletes and never a statement it says i don't bring rule violation akkad it in due course investigated are informed about one of the skeleton athletes who fall and pick committee just a few days ago all go. i am a ten year old young confident of many other. school inspectors say the movie is about monitoring where they're wearing a hijab might be interpreted as the sexualization of young girls they also warn that parents should speak out if they are concerned about fundamentalist groups influencing school policy and islamic human rights campaigner we spoke to he says that children's clothes are not the government's business. this is something that should be a free choice between the parents and the church or now we're hearing about it will be bringing it straight.
