it was a good you. know. coming up this russian navy singled out as a synthesis for aid to the u.k. after the country's most senior military officers all that russia could sabotage on the water table. to treat palestinian protesters and israeli police in the west bank in jerusalem tonight as the dispute over the territory of the ancient city rages on. high profile bride case ends in a guilty verdict for russia's former economy minister making and then the highest ranking official in the country to receive such a conviction. u.s. fleet used to bring to trigger happy with tasers as videos emerged of officers appearing to use excessive force.
10:01 am
hello this is r.t. will welcome for me kevin owen here in moscow tonight just in six pm here now let me take you through this thirty minute news update starting with this then the chief of britain's defense stuff is warning that russia navy could sabotage underwater internet cables taking its the worry nato countries off line reports there warning has come from peach he is a senior nato official and he's also the chief of british defense staff and he says that russian ships have been spotted perilously close to land take cables these are underwater very important strategic cables that cross the atlantic from europe to the u.s. and since according to peach russia has continue. to develop its
10:02 am
unconventional warfare well the internet could be the kremlin's next victim russia in addition to new ships and submarines continues to prefer both unconventional capabilities and information war for and there is a new risk to our way of lines which is the vulnerability of the cables that crisscross the seabed well according to some peach that kind of disruption could have catastrophic event effects and he stressed that russian ships are constantly cruising the atlantic's waters potentially with the purpose of causing these cables when no one is watching and as is often the case when military officials make these warnings well there is a way of mitigating this threat that he's talking about according to him and that is by spending more money on defense quite an important and perhaps also ironic side note to this story is the fact that these cable cables that we're talking
10:03 am
about are the very same cables that we know that britain and the u.s. have been tapping we know that thanks to the leaks of edward snowden from back in two thousand and thirteen we know that g.c. h.q. the british spy agency also its u.s. counterpart the n.s.a. they've been gathering intelligence through these cables for years for example g.h. hughes temper a program that placed dates or interceptors on those fiber optic cables that connect the u.s. and europe and all the information flowing from the u.k. was intercepted it made this sort of transplanted network that allowed british intelligence to access huge amounts of traffic going from europe to the u.s. the n.s.a. had a very similar program which is called prism as well none of that appears to bother this nato official who is making. this warning about russia potentially cutting the
10:04 am
cables the message from him appears to be that next time that your internet is playing up well before you start casting your internet provider make sure it wasn't the russians fast the us previously showed concern over alleged underwater wiretapping by the russians couple years ago back in twenty fifteen then it was claimed it was probably plotting to sever the lines during so-called periods of conflict no evidence of ever was put forward by either washington or london international affairs commentator john of steel told me britain is just funding fictional threats to avoid cut backs to its armed forces. road to it is an old allegation i mean two years ago already the us variable officials in the pentagon in washington were making exactly the same claims i mean it's just part of the new technology that's available to the nerve vans to countries like russia and the united states and britain part of the sort of hybrid. capabilities which everybody
10:05 am
seems to be developing. satellites hybrid was. very views and forces and armies are always trying to get more money they're always against cuts so anything that helps them put forward what they think is a strong argument very will try and use of course i mean we know that the longer it goes nine hundred seventy one the united states managed to tap the secret underwater carry ball in the sea of our hearts into japan of the serviette nuclear forces to find out what sort of nuclear probabilities in intentions were so this is a very old technology. else around the world sebring tensions are continuing to break out in violence between israel and palestine following donald trump's controversial recognition of jerusalem as the israeli capital clashes between police and riot is regain raging the west bank to local medics over fifty protesters have now been injured.
10:06 am
palestinian is said to be in a critique of the decision after allegedly stabbing an israeli defense soldier earlier today at a checkpoint when the stand in the west bank town of ramallah then if we move to gaza we see that there were hundreds of protesters out in the streets yet again demanding this change since trump made that announcement more than a week ago now saying that the u.s. would recognize jerusalem as being the official capital of israel now including in those protesters were a number of how must leaders who called on the crowd and said that resistance was the only option to liberate palestine we also saw a usa flags and israeli flags being burned in the gaza strip while here in jerusalem there were a small number of protesters spent most of the day shouting allah akbar no they
10:07 am
were generally peaceful although there were some small but intense scuffles between palestinian protesters and the israeli security services here including we saw footage of what appears to be a woman being punched in the face by a member of the security services in addition to that small group of women who were holding that protest for a number of hours actually were at one point preventing jewish people from being able to leave and go up the steps here at the masters gate and as a result of that the security services came down and forcibly removed them pushing them up the steps and away from this area so the tensions still remain there bubbling not just under the surface but over the surface people incredibly unhappy by that decision by dawn from more than a week ago now on the latest develops of that we've heard also that snooki and lebanon have decided that they are going to open embassies for. alice stein here in east jerusalem that comes off the back of that extraordinary meeting that was held
10:08 am
in istanbul just a few days ago where it was announced by the organization of islamic cooperation that they would recognize east resume as being the official capital of palestine in direct contradiction from what the usa did more than a week ago by recognizing to resell them as being the capital of israel therefore the tensions still remain any scenes though it's not just a tension here between israelis and palestinians but this is a tension that's now expanding to many other countries in the world seems so we'll show the protests in solidarity with the people of palestine are being held all around the world and jordan's capital crowds demonstrated outside the u.s. embassy after friday prayers while in lebanon hundreds of people gathered outside beirut building a waving palestinian flag. russian next former russian economy minister alexey has been found guilty of taking a multi-billion dollar bribe he's the highest profile official and to receive such a conviction well it kind of was previously the deputy chairman of russia's central

bank for nine years and he was also the russian deputy finance minister during freedom of putin's first presidential term he's known for his role in the early economic reforms here in russia after the fall of the soviet union in the early ninety's correspondent tell us more about the sentence. i have who held the position of economy minister for three years was arrested last november during a late night sting operation where he accepted a two million dollar bribe from the c.e.o. of a state run oil company here and russia and according to the court he demanded that sum and exchange for his ministries approval of the sale of another major oil company here in russia to ross snuffed saying that he would actually impede the deal if he was denied for his part look of has pled not guilty from the start and claims that he's the victim of a setup however the court found no proof of that claim he insists that the bag that he received the night of the sting he was under the impression that it contained a gift of wine and not a massive bribe he used to be fined around two million dollars and faces eight
10:10 am
years in prison he's called the decision unfair but says that he's not giving up hope and his lawyers have already said that they will be appealing the court's decision this is of course been a very closely followed case here and russia and today's verdict does make will cry of the highest ranking russian official to be convicted of corruption charges over . two police officers in the city of cincinnati to be blamed for using excessive force and pulled judgment off of the suspects during a domestic dispute inquiry. footage of the incident that happened earlier this year and we just surfaced a warning what's coming up you may find upsetting here it is right. the officers confronted two man inside a house they tasered them apparently without prior indication that they were under arrest one of the men suffered from a collapsed lung as a result of that confrontation a complaint was apparently fall but then the county prosecutor prevented the
10:11 am
officers from being interviewed until a criminal investigation was completed but about stun guns of course are often considered to be lethal weapons to subdue targets but when they misuse they can result in death and check out those stats since the year two thousand over a thousand people have died in the us after being tasered by the police on average nine out of every ten of those victims were an unarmed or there's another side to it as well it's also been revealed that number of those tasered also have mental illnesses in fact concerns of police abuse have prompted amnesty international to issue an appeal for strict a tazer rules in the us one victim who sued officers describe for us just what he went through. to recovered like physically but mentally on the. heart of think about still even though it's been one year.
10:12 am
already. gathered. just repeatedly did it over and over and over and two days into it they just kept telling me that there was not going to be a bomb on the. floor around the police. the way they were laughing and. pretty much having fun with it. that they were going to try and kill me.
10:13 am
we spoke to the lawyer who represented jordan norris during his case he told us the police actions he could have meant to torture. i first met with jordan actually in this office and he told me what had happened and it was hard to believe frankly the question that the law asked is whether or not the use of force had a legitimate law enforcement purpose in other words was it necessary to keep this person in custody in a safe environment to use the force in question in this situation or he's already fully restrained he's being taste anyway i didn't see any religion at law enforcement reason for that force to be used and if they're using you know painful force against this young man without any reason i can't really think of a better word than torture to describe this is just in petersburg russia federal security service is detained seven suspects need to be in plotting an attack the prince and petersburg video feed to show you were one of the suspects trying to being arrested as he headed towards a container he later admitted explosives were hidden there the security service
10:14 am
revealed the attacks were planned for this saturday with one location believed to be the cathedral of st petersburg the real popular tourist. during the raid the f.s.b. said they found elements of explosive devices as an ammunition in april this year this includes metro of course hit by the suicide bomber attack fifteen died. and injured over one hundred the second explosive device also in the metro system failed to detonate plated of course just tell me please and even the old it seems they've had some success the. heading into a break when we come back seems france has put an end so young students using mobile phones in schools even during the break to debate over health issues for children look at life thoughts on that coming right up. i would call existence to do something that. they put themselves on the line. to
10:15 am
get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president or injury. or something i want to press. that's a good way to be press that's what will go for free in the morning can't be good for. i'm interested always in the waters of my. question. here's what people have been saying about redacted and says it was full of the only show i go out of my way to find you know it was the really packed a punch oh yeah it is the john oliver of our city america is doing the same we have apparently better than. see people you've never heard of love right down to the night president of the world bank very. seriously send us an e-mail.
10:16 am
again welcome back thanks for watching tonight so in what's been called a matter of public health no less france has banned mobile phones from its primary and middle schools during break times already about in force but now it's coming in during the break times rest times indeed the new ruling won't come into effect until next term september but students using phones in schools already been a divisive topic in other countries including the u.s. and the u.k. let's get some live reaction to what this is going to mean from some from gas no i think you were read into this we've got. me on the line is found and director of a shout out u.k. you've communications platform think you're pro phones will soon find out anyway and we've also got know me austin our senior lecturer in fashion design and promotion at sunderland university in northeast england ok so france is saying here
10:17 am
there was already have been in for surgery class time anyone phones but saying hey guys no you can't even use these photos in your break time in your rest time when you don't time for an hour for not mattel you know first. year and i think i think if you're just legislating for a problem that doesn't exist i mean i think you know technology is coming you know they need these things all around people have them and you're legislating for i think a problem. really doesn't exist i mean i'm twenty five i remember when i was in secondary school and you weren't on your phone the entire time you know when you were on your breaks your other playing football or hanging out with your mates you're trying to deal the problem with being stereotyped by the media about young people constantly being on the phone constantly being hooked on it and it just it to me it doesn't really exist so myth or problem me. the kids are getting more and getting out of play totally absorbed whatever they're doing what do you think about a good plan or not this. i think it's not. to be honest i think
10:18 am
social media is just taking over at the minute i am i teach university level but i've taught it for their education level and i just think interaction between students and teachers the so important they need to leave the phones at home leave them tell them leave the classroom even a break time they need to sort of concentrate on what they're doing with their time . i just think we all did degrees about mobile phones we spoke to about mobile phones but you have a lot of life so we can over the years ago we did but it didn't make the world was a better place for it we're talking about kids here. well i just think let them interact between each other just write of the need that . talk to each of their people young kids have started the art of conversation you find i think the whole ritual or just don't have that conversation
10:19 am
anymore. i don't think that's true at all i think again i think it is this idea of this top down approach where a generation is out of touch with young people saying that you know we don't know how to communicate with people we don't know how to engage with people that is if you simply not true is the idea that oh you know we cope well with our mobile phones yes of course we did we coped well with our the internet because we coped well with our houses if you go for all back. enough with the society's moving forward but what about the study just not what about the study twenty fifteen working paper published by the london school of economics says that schools that ban mobile phones or test schools for their sixteen year olds improved by six point four percent of the equivalent of earning five days to the school went on to say that not only did student achievement improve but also that lower civi low income students gain the most so part of the scientific fact that if the kids are on the phones too much they don't do as well. i mean i'm sure i'm sure there is there is
10:20 am
some relevance in that bar personally i don't think that banning them is the way forward the reality is that technology should be embraced and we should include them in our educational system you know i'm not saying that we should allow kids to go in the past as opposed to. carry on the. nursery i was just going so if. the kids have their phones they can use the phone away from school college or whatever they can do their research or whatever using the phones i'm not so i have my phone with me pretty much all the time biting marketing i teach social media. so it's important for me to have. but what i find totally stunned by what i say about communication is just that the students live too i've taught for fifteen years so i just found what. are you driving. when we do did you want photos taken off. planning on doing in france or what.
10:21 am
well in college and university one time the whole time they're in college school you really just leave the phone even in the breaks. just to hear the education. is a matter of public health kids who go to play rather study in the corner a bit on the phone or look at what's up whatever. you can do the holy grail. i just think again it you know we're talking in the media a lot about mental health in young people it's become a lot more common now talking about this manhunt this depression the songs are you see that's right and i think this is a lot to do with. kids looking. up to the age of eighteen whatever style looking at mobile phone they rely on social media to you seeing the best or worst of people on
10:22 am
social media this is what i think why don't they just come our phones and talked about friends during the break time play just do what we all used to do as kids and then take their phones when they go home just you know just leave it for what six. i think society has moved on from you can't go back to war from one understanding this idea that there was a better time with all this technology technology is here to stay and we should embrace and we should open with it the point about mental health i mean i don't think that meant to have this mental health epidemic that our society is facing is . using phones as a scapegoat isn't the issue if you can talk about mental health then you go look at the entirety of the problem is that young people are faced with for example a rising housing market the fact that jobs aren't stable the fact they feel voices within a political system that has been ignoring them for years all of these kind of things i will bring in this idea of mental health not because there are enough i mean most of the time or not because they suddenly start using technology so i think mental
10:23 am
health is the reason i think we're trying to legislate or try to blame something out of a bit of technology because it's more convenient to blame on then then look at the whole of the soul mental health issue when in reality is that we're having a generation which is. baking for the same opportunities that our parents had but then are being denigrated in so full for for asking for that for that for that same opportunity i don't think fines are the reason for for these men to help me as i would also. as a teacher could you look at it and so that work. could potentially be looked at maybe this is wishful thinking it could be a potential learning resource for kids it's a tool it's just a tool well it is a loan and we do use it as a living resource but they use it. sort of in their free time when they're not sort of. maybe at night or something values that you see the problem i have is that we use most of the stuff i teach is online they can access on the phones we do use
10:24 am
phones sometimes i will use it. to sort of. discuss things but actually are rather going to computer in my session to go through that we've got enough computer at the university to not have to rely on phones and yes it is a great learning resource we can access things like. at nighttime do a lot of my research i use things like pinterest we've got to use called w just one which is a worldwide online sites are all of that on the phone but i'll do it at home at night but you know the teacher. going to do as well as the teacher if you've also got a marshal that is actually physically take photos of kids make sure they get the right phones but make sure things aren't most up start first as a whole nother layer that surely you don't want to see you have to deal with. rising i think it's harder for me because i teach you know over eighteen. so really they could turn round to me and say we're not going along with this way to agree
10:25 am
with us but i have a lot of respects where between me and my students and we've had this discussion and just last week kind of i am here to have a discussion about it and they said to be honest my class were all quite happy to leave our phones i leave my phone in the office during the university's time so you know why they do the same and they were kind of in agreement with me but again we were talking about the mental health and i do so again stunned by the fact i think conversation it's a no we can't go how it used to be kind of a shame but how it used to be was logbooks i can remember that in school. when i was a kid i know also that i mean i couldn't imagine i'll even go to out of time. and see electorate of fashion design university that should give me the founder director of the show that you get but. thanks guys. thanks
