region you're watching the latest headlines here at r.t. international thank you for joining us who start this hour with that breaking news story reportedly a high school student on to the max has injured a teacher and three children in a school in the russian city of sorts not a war in siberia the wounded have been taken to a local hospital and will be transported to the regional capital five hundred students have been evacuated from the school the attacker also reportedly used a molotov cocktail and there have been reports of fire in the building sources say the teenager had previously fallen out with his schoolmates tucker has now been detained the regional governor has been notified of the incident and had to interrupt a business trip to mongolia we're bringing you more details on the story as soon as we get them. it's the second such incident in russia this week on monday fourteen

students and a teacher were injured in a knife attack at a school in the city of perm this video shows one of the youngsters who was apparently involved in the rampage the attackers motive is still yet to be established investigators are looking into whether it was a fight which escalated whether it was planned. the u.s. has urged turkey not to attack syria's african region and focus on fighting isis instead that's according to the state department spokesperson has been ours we would call. certainly on the turks to not take any actions of that sort don't want them to engage in the violence but we want them to keep focused on isis. or turkey threatened armed intervention in the kurdish held african region after it emerged the u.s. was planning to work with kurdish fighters in astonishing so-called border force in syria but following ankara's furious reaction washington seems to have backtracked

artie's senior correspondent what i guess the of explains turkey isn't kidding around day after day it is pulling more tanks and more missiles more troops to the syrian border this is the prelude to a new war a war within the u.s. led coalition should. now america's acknowledged it's established an army of terror along our country's border is up to us to drown this army of terror before it is born. one of the reasons is america's new army or border force which is what it was originally the u.s. led coalition told us in this letter that it was establishing a border security force an army of kurds that would patrol the border with turkey now that is preparing to invade the u.s. has done a one hundred eighty degree turn that entire situation has been misspoke treat

misdescribed some people misspoke we are not creating a border security force at all the story has changed it's not a new army or a border force it's thirty thousand troops that will be trained to prevent isis is return on paper for now and if turkey doesn't put a stop to it state department is now on overdrive you get the sense that they'll be bending over backwards for a valuable ally turkey is a very important value nato ally we have a lot of interactions with the turkish government as you probably know the foreign minister of turkey is in vancouver right now where i believe he will be meeting or have some sort of a chat with secretary taylor sent or at least some of our representatives later today so an important nato ally let's not kid around by all appearances america doesn't want to leave syria victory or no rex tillerson all but said so himself and

that is the tragic twist to expend so many lives so much time and money to defeat isis we need to set the stage for another war a war within the anti isis coalition. thank you expert hey kevin believes there's growing discontent with american policies in turkey pushing ankara closer to last day the u.s. administration right now is trying to lower the pensions but. you know in the fields what we go. see is the continuation of the u.s. support for this entity is and the turkish administration would like to see the end the end the clear end of the american support to the kurdish people why the a-y. p.g. and basically to really design the american foreign policy in syria i can tell you that there is a very increasing anti-americanism right now in turkey because of the american

policies and this friction between the united states and turkey is basically pushing turkey towards more to russian arms. over two hundred guns have gone on strike in one of france's most notorious prisons over security concerns. was. was. the. following the strike almost one hundred twenty inmates refused to return to their cells the jail is reputed to be a hotbed always than it extremism among inmates is. who was behind the deadly attacks in paris nov twenty fifth dean is not the first trying to hit a french prison this week with across the country fearing for their safety.

but audiologists lost only look at his own eyes today we've all come here for a strike because discontent is spreading across france a crucial problem is the security of prison personnel today for each god there are ninety inmates on top of that there's the issue of islamic radicals who are also kept in our jails and who are not isolated from other inmates don't know what you lose it's dangerous for us to be around the inmates because for them we are everything they hate for them we are enemies by definition. our work is very dangerous we're weak teams of aggression and salt we experience violence which is not taken into consideration by the government. it has become more and more difficult for us to act like i was in physical aggression towards my colleagues every day but it happens every time we open the cell doors are supported

we denounce the wording in addition of our colleagues in the prison the security conditions the numerous acts of aggression against them we want salaries to be increased for those who face such risks that work as well as an increase in personnel and better security. french justice minister nicole bell you bare metal number of prison workers on tuesday she outlined a ten point plan to improve their working conditions among the point she highlighted where more staff better equipment and a new director and further discussion on the issue has also been shared jeweled from march we spoke to former m i five officer annie mae shaw who says certain types of prisoner need to be held separately. you have a situation where obviously the prison staff are concerned about their safety the ratio of reported one prison member looking after ninety prisoners is really unacceptable when it comes to safety and there have been a number of attacks as well in different prisons across france over the last few weeks showing that they are vulnerable you know to nice things and being beaten up

one of the issues they really need to address is this question of how they manage the prison population because we have seen time and time and time again if the last few years with these so-called lone wolf terrorist attacks across most of the western world many of these people perhaps are not you know hard line jihadists who've been fighting in syria but actually they've been people who were petty criminals perhaps doubling in drugs coming out of the deprived areas of our countries and it's when they are serving time for those lower level crimes that they are indeed radicalized because they can indeed associate with islamic jihad is in prison. russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov says syrian militants now have the means to produce their own chemical weapons he made the statement during a un security council session on the situation in syria. really you can religions are not only using chemical weapons but they also have their own technological and

manufacturing capacity to synthesize toxic substances for military purposes i wasn't. speaking of the united nations security council and his remarks he emphasized that while allegations against the syrian government regarding chemical weapons considering the focus of western leaders at the same time the extremist forces that want to topple the syrian government are expanding their capacity to develop and use chemical weapons but i'm working and british leaders are there envoys to the united nations they repeated the same old saw the syrian regime has repeatedly used chemical weapons against its own people the syrian regime have repeatedly used chemical weapons in syria regrettably it has been russia that has gone to great lengths to prevent the assad regime from being held accountable now of course the u.s. and british envoys were referring to the chemical attack in qana last april well people will remember that in the aftermath of the talk we heard u.s. leaders immediately blaming the syrian government. yesterday morning. we

awoke to pictures to children of beautiful little babies being carried in the arms of desperate parents these heinous actions by the assad regime cannot be tolerated later we heard about how the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons formed a joint investigative mark and. began investigating the attack came up with a report but throughout their investigation at no point did they ever actually lose at the site of a chemical attack in clamshell can this me being piled up by russia so much focus is going to blinding the syrian government without much evidence. the russian foreign minister also pointed out that the west has turned a blind eye to chemical attacks by terrorists in syria while leveling the same accusation damascus in twenty sixteen western backed militants reportedly used

poison gas on several occasions in their attacks on government held areas in aleppo . the lists. of the and i think there are these kinds of work that owns or could be just so many i do not think you know i like nuclear weapons there doesn't need to be a lot of government sponsored it's not difficult getting into those our own

material so we incentivize to use that of the first third or the international community are more or less definitely made him you know the security in their environment and start of the russians without suspecting the route so we saw the last time there was a record out in the fall for. that of turkey and all sorts of sympathy for the so-called syrian opposition and so although the rebel certainly go that far and so if they do have several ruffo's i wouldn't be surprised if they were used for. an avalanche in southwestern siberia has killed two tourists the victims were part of a snowmobiling party a witness to the tragedy explained what happened. i saw a white wall of snow coming towards the stream i thought the others would get through that everything was fine i shouted on the radio but no one answered it was

silence in this video you can see people trying to dig out survivors five people were rescued from under three metres of snow the avalanche affected an area of around one hundred fifty square metres it happened in a popular tourist destination of your sort is don't deem it a safe place for snowmobiling on harsh weather has also struck the netherlands where three people have been killed during the powerful winds this video gives you an idea of just how strongly it's been people some with bikes and freight containers blowing over the weather alerts was issued in the central part of the country where winds reached up to one hundred forty kilometers an hour hundreds of flights on train journeys have been cancelled. r.t. has obtained a new leak from the fancy bears hacking group which raises questions about how doping cases were handled during the rio olympics in twenty sixteen artie's able to

discuss the revelations with nicky aaron. so new leaks about the summer olympic games twenty sixteen and remember during before and after rio the russian doping scandal was all over the news and that was when the and hire russian track and field team stayed home because of the band's well one i.o.c. e-mail exchange that we however can not confirm is real was a valid therapeutic use exemptions or to you now correct me if i'm wrong but is that when athletes to use banned substances for medical purposes yes if you're an athlete and you're sick and this case you may get permission to use medicines from the list of prohibited substances in a sense that is illegal doping but that requires a certificate and judging by some of these unverified e-mails as many as forty four

such certificates were given out right during the time of the olympics and most of them just days before the olympics were over that's where all the finals are happening but according to water rules the window between the time when the application is followed the next competition must be thirty days plus if we are to believe more of these on verified emails eight. from rio we're never entered into the universe so anti-doping database that is interesting have we had of any consequences we don't know but i can tell you that among proved to be a real mess if it indeed happened during the rio games and we know that it is the most high profile sporting event ever the summer olympics and also another e-mail that the fancy bears leaked was supposedly from a brazilian anti-doping professor about crucial flaws and the doping test bottles

again it's an unverified e-mail to the manufacturer of the bottles from the times right before the beginning of the rio olympics. did it weird situation this happened the rio twenty sixteen berlinger bottles seem not all to be stand it did not fit the billing open forcing them resulted in breakage of the cap and sometimes it can be used to close the able to after alley quoting e.g. photos you know. have a record of this kind of non-conformity so nikki opening the bottles could cause damage according to dr ratner if the emails are real but this is the point when i want to go back to all the russian winter olympic athletes that were banned the head of the winter olympic games in korea besides the testimonies and besides all the things that the main. whistleblower grigori watching gov was saying

the cornerstone element of the i.o.c. evidence or basically the only forensic evidence was the damage on the bottles or the scratches on the ones that were used and saatchi and the question i want to know about the state is whether both was at the center of suspicion insult che produced by that same company yes they were produced by burger that was providing the anti-doping officials with equipment for as well however neither the mcclaren team nor the investigators they were appointed by the international olympic committee have ever shown us the visual results of their experiments and we were constantly told that the bottle technology is flawless but what if it isn't. social media giants twitter facebook and you have again being grilled over alleged russian interference in the us presidential election i'm assuming that none of you have any doubt that the russians meddled in our two thousand sixteen election and

attacked our democracy and you question. it's the latest of the u.s. senate hearings the three social media giants have participated in this time twitter also announced it was preparing their tool to warn uses about russian trolls well this is sparked a concern about exactly how these trolls will be identified artie's daniel hawkins takes a closer look. this time they've been grilled at a u.s. senate committee session about dealing with terrorist content and other dangerous materials a letter that i wrote calling these companies to individual inform all users who are exposed to false misleading and inflammatory post generated by russian agents we will be working to identify and inform individually the users who may have been exposed to the ira accounts during the election now facebook already enables users

to check if they've been exposed to russian bots and trolls from an apparent russian troll factory named the internet research agency which is so division and mistrust back in twenty sixteen fair enough if you buy the russian election meddling narrative but it doesn't stop there now it seems twitter is going down the same road we don't yet know the full details of how this will work but in a hidden recording i look up a journalist group project veritas allegedly discovered how exactly twitter picked out other apparent bots. it's a good read. just look at what you. guys. are really. sure. that we have requested comment from twitter can they confirm that the top

aimed at tackling and identifying these kremlin trolls is one hundred percent effective what are you supposed to do in the case of a mistake or the company has previously stated people in similar recordings didn't represent official views project veritas of course themselves have in the past been at the center of controversy as a result of their methods for tackling bots is all well and good but what about target. opinions that are controversial unsavory or unfavorable light iterated for anyone. so next time you're browsing social media and come across material that may go against the grain don't overthink things the platform itself will give you

a heads up what to believe or not. twelve activists in the californian city of may now face jail after they were caught trying to feed homeless people in a park according to current legislation it's illegal to share food in public places . for a while so how do you feel like. you know we are you know if you know even a week. well the city's ban on sharing food in public was introduced last october to prevent an outbreak of the infectious disease hepatitis a the penalty for breaking the law can be up to us dollar fine or even six months in prison we talk to the activists who were caught by the police they claim the legislation has the opposite effect of what it's meant to do. homeless people who were there were very things fall that we were standing up and they were very upset that the mayor in the city council members could pass such

a heartless ordinance and none of those government officials come out to that park and talk to those people it really seems like this is part of the city for to criminalize homelessness they've already made me that against the law to panhandle to sleep on the sidewalk so this is really like the next step in trying to push the homeless out of their city and the big justification that they use was the happening outbreak in the indiegogo and they say all the parkers the parks are so contaminated with hepatitis a that we don't want the homeless people to catch it and so are trying to protect but everybody else can still go and have a party at the park and share food with each other and they wrote that into the ordinance and that's what makes it just criminal tory because the targets are really it's everybody else is not magically immune from have to try to stay within the same space so clearly there are this is not about hepatitis a and the mayor has made comments in public session at the city council meetings where he has said

we're trying to make the park less inviting to homeless people and a recent report by the un on human rights has outlined the difficulties homeless people in america currently face. we see an average of seven to eight hundred people every single day. congress has reached an agreement on tax legislation that will deliver more joy higher wages and massive tax relief. since the recession we have not recovered the homeless homelessness has actually increased there's a problem with high property values air b.n. b.

is buying up focal properties and evicting the tenants the mayor of alcohol would like everyone to think that all homeless people are drug addicts and that is absolutely not the case we have a very high percentage of our homeless are better and we have a higher percentage of people who are working in this growing criminalization of people who are poor and powerless. really is also a bigger problem with the mass incarceration of that happens in our country where we have for profit prisons with companies making money off of jailing people. now let's return to our top story russian authorities have confirmed that a teenager armed with an axe broke into a school and injured at least four people in the city over in eastern siberia three of the injured a children all of them have been taken to hospital these are images from the school where the incident took place five hundred students have been evacuated from the

school the attack also reportedly used a moment. being reports a fire in the building sources say the teenager had previously fall and then two schoolmates he has now been detained the regional governor has been notified of the incident and had to interrupt a business trip to mongolia. well it's the second such incident in russia this week on monday fourteen students and a teacher were injured in a knife attack at a school in the city of this video shows one of the youngsters who was apparently involved in the rampage the attack is motive is still yet to be established investigators are looking into whether it was a fight which escalated or if it was planned. up next on r.t. international it's the kinds of reports and at the top of the hour rory sushi will be here with the latest news but for me.

it's all see we have a great seem we need to strengthen before the freeflow world cold and you're better than a legend to keep it so it's at the back. in one thousand nine hundred two that much fortified for the european championships at the very last moment no one believed in us but we won and i'm hoping to bring some of that waving spirit to the r.c.t. . recently i've had a lot of practice so i can guarantee you that peter schmeichel will be on the best fall since my last will call on that story as well as we've. chosen the old joke goes o.e.c.d. russia. strikes strikes not as left left left more or less ok stop that's really good as you read the stand. over them what i saw.

i know that i know there are a lot of trouble at the rather you know the four or. only and that competitor i don't touch and then you can pick and. i don't think is a channel for the profile that it. was. on the show with. them best. it's wholefood place choice for john the i knew you didn't pay i think time in syria has said. pretty she ought to have a. model for the name after the whole fuck around mr hates it for jim and then for

folks that are fairly mature for. the money. yes i was but it would lead to our couple of it you're lucky enough to. jump in the last election imo you also believe we'll do it so well mostly we don't and we will all so you will find you know one of the of them stood up and will push it out so. many thank you fantastic panel again move you to the you know some of our newest scots more we are even who could still be financed you g.b. easy should resign you took the stage. you will most know that you know little about hitler plentiful secret of the english you can you can either call you up when you tell us maybe you did to us all but you're using my suspicion i'll post a. comment
