12:02 pm
we're here on eighth avenue near forty second street just just a block away from where the incident took place and as you can see the city is gradually moving back to normal around me they've just opened up the street and traffic is coming through the port authority bus station which is the main terminal for buses coming into manhattan the main place that can get commuters from new jersey as well as people from around the country coming on greyhound buses come in is now functional and the city is kind of breathing a sigh of relief at this point we understand that there are some non-life threatening injuries but no one died there are no faith tallaght ease and the city is kind of breathing a sigh of relief now questions are being asked about what happened and how vulnerable the city could be to potential attacks i mean this incident did take place in a crowded subway station at the time in which commuters are pouring in at rush hour
12:03 pm
and in such an area there is no shortage of people people are tightly packed in making the danger of potential attacks more and more extreme now at this point the attackers being identified as a twenty seven year old man of bangladeshi heritage and is being called an attempted terrorist attack he apparently did have terrorist intentions and made statements about what motivated him now mayor bill de blasio was not willing to make public those statements yet but it appears this is being treated as a terrorist incident or an. terrorist attack now the authorities are still on the scene at this moment we're hearing helicopters from the new york city police department flying above there are still a number of fire department vehicles and n.y.p.d. vehicles on the scene but at the moment it seems like new york city is gradually getting back to normal people are breathing a sigh of relief ready to move on with monday morning here in manhattan in the aftermath of an explosion a blast in
12:04 pm
a crowded subway i think spring as of today live from new york kaleb open. here's what we can see what's believed to be a video of the boxed attack we can't verify this moment if this is north and video you can see a flash followed by a cloud of white smoke and people then fleeing as the smoke clears one person is seen lying on the ground you'll police have identified the suspects who killed it was talking about there a twenty seven year old. they say that he was bound a low tech explosive device to his body which badly injured him when it went off. just a month ago the city's deadliest attack since nine eleven occurred. mr
12:05 pm
safer had been planning this for a number of weeks you did this in the name of isis. and i can speak not of which i'm black he's a republican senator from virginia everett sent. from the i'm very solid video an effigy of a chance to say to say that all the reports that have come and how do you understand what us happened here. well this is a continuation on the terrorist attacks on new york city if you go back to nine hundred ninety three you had. the blind sheikh and egyptians sunni. very radical individual who tried to bring down the twin towers he was unsuccessful
12:06 pm
but then on on in in two thousand and one they gave carry out the the attack on the twin towers killed three thousand americans these attacks are relentless they're continual and they are typically people who follow the saudi arabian version of islam which is wahhabi ism and. it is that is very terroristic and so here we have an individual heavily bearded jihad as from bangladesh and he and parent were trying to maine go with that with the crowd as much as possible to do as much damage as possible it was seven twenty local time in new york when everyone was rushing off to work fortunately the bomb was not very effective. on the
12:07 pm
perpetrator it went off it may have been premature early detonated but other than him i don't like there is anyone who is seriously injured but you know the fact is the entire civilized world has got to come to grips with the idea that so long as we know. open borders and we allow anyone. any any sort of beliefs to ensure we are going to see a ramping up here all across the. ritchie do you think i mean if we just heard from our correspondent he said that life has returned very quickly to normal on the streets that we heard from the the governor of new york saying that you know this is the new reality this is how life is tack attacks are going to occur do you think that people will actually scrutinize us foreign policy or are they actually just
12:08 pm
getting used to this being normal you know it's a good question to some extent people are just accepting the fact that we live in a world of terror. we never had terrorist attacks in the united states for you know for a hundred years and then all of a sudden we have them almost on a weekly basis it's not just in the united states it's happening in europe everywhere that opens its borders and allows people. who who arrive with with they often with a religious belief that they have to let me be an absence of the country and it's inevitable that you're going to have that you know this individual lived for seven years in the united states so we had plenty of time to be acculturated but it didn't help. and we talk about betting people that somehow we're
12:09 pm
going to probe into their minds and imagine what they might do in the future you can't possibly do that and we have we have very radical mosques that function in this country and over in europe and they literally preach hate and they say look go out you know it's your duty to to murder people and they go out and they do it and sometimes it takes many years some of these people are not even religious and then they you know they have a religious conversion later on and if they go to one of these bad mosques then. then the next thing that you have is a is a suicide bomber just linking to what happened recently with israel donald trump's comments about jerusalem do you think that might exacerbate the situation. in other
12:10 pm
the lot of a lot of muslims extremely unhappy about life comments and what they see as an attempt to sort of shift power in the region could that make things less well i think. it was not helpful in terms of settling the environment in the middle east with the president putin has made enormous progress diplomatically the syrian army has watched with fantastic heroism and they have recovered most of the country from the terrorists. but it's just you know the timing of this was a little bit difficult. i know there were there were people who would biased against it but at the same time the one thing that president hu or rather president trump tries to do is to carry out his campaign why just this was one of them
12:11 pm
hopefully it will not cause too much difficulty that said i don't believe that this particular incident was triggered by anything that president truman did i think for someone to go out and detonate a bomb and kill themselves they probably did thinking about this for quite a while they are probably going to extremely radicalized for a very very long time and but we we may see some uptick in violence certainly we will see that in palestine in the south of sydney in areas but beyond that it's not clear just how much impact. richard appreciate you speaking to the same richard black in your state senator as my guest . when you know. president vladimir putin is on a trip across the middle east right now he is in the turkish capital ankara holding
12:12 pm
talks with president hu while the two leaders plan to discuss bilateral cooperation particularly in the realm of energy and also expected to make statements on the syrian peace process the middle east situation in general early the russian president made a stop in cairo where he met with his egyptian counterpart with walnut is. like one of a lot of our putin suddenly showed up in syria a little earlier his cairo trip was planned in advance but what kind of timing this is to squeeze in talks with both the president of egypt and turkey in cairo and ankara and here we're talking about a timeframe of just several hours while donald trump's jerusalem move really continues to send shock waves across the entire middle east and as abdel fattah sisi and vladimir putin were addressing the journalists here at the presidential palace in cairo we heard more condemnation of that love as a sea of we were discussing the palestinian issue and especially the situation
12:13 pm
after the usa decided to recognize jerusalem as the israeli capital and to move the u.s. embassy from tel aviv to there this reckless and provocative decision will have consequences that will influence the resolution of the conflict and the stability of the situation in egypt and russia support israel and palestine resuming talks over all disputed issues they have including the status of jerusalem the solid agreement that takes into account the interests of both sides should be reached we consider any action that anticipates the outcome of peace talks between israel and palestine counterproductive again this was being said in cairo the egyptian capital where it looks like the arab league is ready to convene and come up with a united official response which will basically mean that. it's a response from the entire region but even before this week a lot has been said in front of the microphones and in the streets they cannot
12:14 pm
oppose people's feelings and beliefs this is a new type of adventurism and global arrogance of the us. the kingdom of jordan refuses the recognition by the united states so jerusalem is the capital of israel out of the decision by the united states in its context gives legitimacy and recognition for occupation and the allowance of the de facto status using force indeed right now it is fair to say that not all the arab world but a broader islamic community is ready to stand up for the palestinians so far the president of turkey tiber dawson turned out to be the most outspoken and here's what that led to believe. is row is a terrorist state i'm not used to receiving. lectures. about morality from a leader who bombs kurdish villagers in his native turkey. who dreams dreams.
12:15 pm
hopes you're on the wrong international sanctions and who those jurors. will saw on monday president putin ordered the start of the withdrawal of russian forces from syria just several days after he announced the complete defeat of islamic state in the country and he's done a whole conciliatory my colleague partridge with the details. also in many will view it that way kate especially from a military point of view this of course was a surprise visit as you mentioned earlier to the base in latakia it's part of putin's middle eastern visit he is off to egypt next to visit the president méribel fatah el-sisi who will discuss the issue with alongside news about his negotiations with. the turkish president as well he has made it clear though that while the bulk of the troops is withdrawing as early as today in fact the first pilots flying back to russia we understand. the military forces will be quick to return if the terrorists improve his own words rear their heads once again let's take
12:16 pm
a listen to a statement. about only to the defense minister and the head of the general staff of the start of the withdrawal of the russian forces to their permanent base and if the terrorists dare to raise their heads again we will strike back with the strength they've never seen before now of course the base in tartus in attack here will remain although the bulk of the bulk of troops is going home over the last two years the russian troops have played a very important role in backing the syrian army in regaining territory ever again around ninety percent of the country russian troops were closely involved in liberation of aleppo almira twice in fact of davey's all on the euphrates river bank as well. israeli prime minister is trying to rouse support for international recognition of jerusalem as his country's capital not much luck so far though the details after this break.
12:17 pm
what holds a sense to you so. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. some want to be it's. going to be this is what the before you the more people. interested in the logs. should.
12:18 pm
welcome back israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu is continuing his first trip to europe after america's recognition of jerusalem as the capital of israel. but he's not in brussels where he was met by a protest against donald trump's announcement earlier during the first leg of his trip a pro polish thing in rally took place in paris just prior to his arrival. and israeli prime ministers already met the french president on the e.u.'s foreign policy chief top european politicians have been making it clear that they don't welcome trump's decision. i expressed to prime minister netanyahu my disappointment of the us president's declaration and explained that front sees it is contrary to
12:19 pm
international law and is dangerous to peace so i think the sooner the problem students come to grips with this reality the sooner we will move towards peace the only realistic solution to the conflicts between israel and palestine is based on two states which are those eleven as the capital of both the state of the sort and the state of palestine along the sixty seven line i believe or. most of the. countries will move their embassies to jerusalem recognized crucial in israel's work up little britain's prime minister condemned decision as unhelpful saying she disagreed with the move germany's foreign minister expressed fears that it could worsen the israeli palestinian conflict the palestinian ambassador to the united kingdom. says the international community has united over one thing that trumps move was reckless. hundred fifty one countries in the united nations were against you know the decision of trump to move the embassy and to recall denies to
12:20 pm
resell them as the capital of israel i can see yes that is a big. big wedge between the europeans and the israelis because you know this is something where the international consensus have agreed to do you know that jerusalem is an occupied city and the outcome of bilateral negotiations brokered by the united states would determine the fate of that city and i think today do not be an allies to the united states are not going to stand with them there has been a lot of criticism for such a move. british newspaper the times is thrown some accusations at this network regarding our coverage of the u.k.'s grenfell tower tragedy and its article the times uses r.t. of attempting to ignite a class war in britain with its coverage of the tragic event it also accuses the channel of misreporting ten million pounds have been spent on plotting so as to make the building less of an eyesore for rich residents nearby popova the time says
12:21 pm
that we should have made clear that one of our guests lisa mackenzie is research fellow at the london school of economics is also an activist for the anarchist group class war and finally r.t. hopes as she returns in max kaiser they're accused of being too critical of the authorities while covering the grenfell tower tragedy as well as of indulging in conspiracy theories. the grenfell tower fire took place in june this year. to claim the lines of seventy one people the building had been on fire for sixteen hours till it was extinguished the tragedy spot widespread outrage in british society many people were angry perceived failings by the local authorities. and i can speak now to r.t. host and she returns is so much to talk about here are you one of those people who was criticized first of all i don't know how r.t. could incite a class war as a class war did you hear about it it was from watching r.t.
12:22 pm
doesn't make much sense does it and also you're accused of being too critical of the authorities can somebody be too critical of our thirty's what do you think about the times comments. too critical of authorities as a journalist it is a class war that's what i heard on the streets around the grand felt one of the worst fires in all history on the ground there you hear people saying that this is the result of austerity of british government policies this journalist dominic kennedy writing for the rupert murdoch times previously had to apologize around the semitism and homophobia not a good background to then i think he can cost stones this is a of course all part of a. well according to social media despicable campaign against russia and. one should i mean one shouldn't joke about these matters it was one of the worst tragedies in british history arguably but at least they didn't blame the russian
12:23 pm
government for the grand felt such is the histeria against the russian federation in this country it's quite hard it's hard to believe of course we investigated the ground felt our tragedy and there are no less there are fewer organs than murdoch's own whether it be his sun newspaper or the times that one other mainstream media were talking about class war one can search it in the newspaper archive so alas maybe we were being too mainstream so the idea of singling out on tea as investigating or at least questioning whether this fire was indeed emblematic of years of austerity from the since the twenty eight crash other media outlets were doing it maybe we were just doing it more publicly and maybe he is considered the channel with power certainly in the article at least the writer admits that the people in that area watch this channel not the state mandated b.b.c.
12:24 pm
yeah it's terrific to think that with so many people dying in such a horrific manner that you know that. the conversation is dragged towards our channel i mean deflection seems an obvious thing but i'll just borrow from you because i like that the report murdoch times do you think let's give them the benefit the doubt did they make any valid criticisms of r.t. is there anything we could learn from experienced analysis i think there was a figure there was in a ten million pounds including i mean i think one just has to put this in a kind of perspective the statement of the b.b.c. has a report literally measuring scientifically the possibility of a baby's head breaking for an from third or fourth floor window of a tower block we on the other hand investigated the deep ridden class issues and they are class issues of the fact that a tower in the poorest area of one of the richest places on earth kensington and
12:25 pm
chelsea what what the impact of that could have been on the response by emergency services let alone to the planning before this fire as regards fire procedures we had the heads of the fire brigades on and in the piece that we're talking about here they talk about a professor from the london school of economics we also interviewed the head of the fire. select committee here in the british parliament this is this is a mark of how frightened mainstream media is all of this channel because we are unafraid of looking power and trying to investigate what the effects of power are the lethal effects. of power can be on the majority of britain's population it's something the mainstream media tries to shy away although i have to say their own or will exceptions even in the mainstream media when it came to covering this appalling appalling tragedy the results of an inquiry which the statements by
12:26 pm
a judge today we still don't really fully understand. what do you think is going on now in the world of the media when a tragedy like this unfolds you would think that all publications are pretty much beyond on the same page that will be trying to find out what has happened and that they will be critical of those who look to be responsible instead what you get is this this kind of spat breaks out between certain publications what's going on i think as i said there are there is a good deal of fear if one looks on you tube or mainstream media reporters going down to the grenfell side the side of as i say one of the world's worst tower block fires in history you see on you tube mainstream media reporters being insulted and shouted at by members of the local community they just don't trust the statement if b.b.c. or the times is sister the channel the rupert murdoch sky news channel they don't trust them because they believe that they are complicit in these policies of
12:27 pm
austerity in order to bail out the financial institutions in the city of london the people in this country and it's an obvious way how they vote of this lee not trusting their media anymore and that's where the channel comes in to fill that gap yeah that's where the channel comes in it comes in for a lot of criticism as well as a hope of us appreciate some of the information that we bring that might not get elsewhere many thanks r.t. host actually returns in my guest thank you. now bitcoin has been trading on the chicago futures exchange that many see it as a major step in helping to legitimize the cryptocurrency this month because he had a record high of nineteen thousand dollars it was a surprise advance considering that it was worth bailey a hundred just four years ago but other cryptocurrency and there are more than a thousand of them aren't doing quite so well.
12:28 pm
the problem i think with the point is that as a stripper he did it. later there are so many of these and some of the
12:29 pm
communication needed for the state of transactions has to be incredibly slow or block trying to acknowledge it could be used by the trust that the central bank should reduce digital money which could be there and given to everybody in the country so whereas at the moment central banks only interrupt react with banks so the banking system us on all the banks financial institutions suddenly central actually interact with us regularly and that's made with the means by which you get used to trickle down seize to cancel the excessive level of credit created money which is being almost in the last bit of private debt bottles so that's to me the probably the major innovation central banks taking all walk trying to quality producing digital currency and then getting us all back out of the central bank which could be used as a way of bringing about people's funds hazing. i'll be back with the latest news headlines for you had half an hour. i am an israeli
