i would have to refer you to the department of defense and then i think they were clear in the statement yesterday we said there's no borders. that's not what it is i have to refer you to the turkish government about what they've. found and the fact that somebody. struggles. that it was creating a new military force in syria. looks like the man with the camera he was.

12:02 am
with his schoolmates the attacker has now been detained and the regional governor has been notified of the incident and has cut short a business trip to mongolia now it is the second such incident in russia this week on monday fourteen students in a teacher were injured in a knife attack at a school in the city all. of this video shows one of the youngsters who was apparently involved in the rampage the motive of the attack is not yet established the investigators are looking into whether it was a fight which escalated or if it was planned. so one short statement from the u.s. military commanders led to an uncomfortable situation for the white house the trump administration has been rapidly backpedaling on plans to create a border force in northern syria a move which sparked a few reus reaction from washington's key ally turkey. but most of the church
12:03 am
attacks on this we need to look at this time we want people to stay focused on isis is he saying that when the pentagon says we're going to try to come up with a force of thirty thousand people that that that's wrong or is he just disputing why wouldn't i would have to refer you to the department of defense on that i think they were clear in the statement that they put out so let me just refer you to them on that. part but i'm asking you but most of the comments yesterday we said there's no border security force that's not what it is to look i'd have to refer you to the turkish government about what they became so concerned about and the fact that somebody misspoke and i'm not going to name any names and neither was the secretary but somebody clearly just misstated their policy it's as simple as that. he told the american and elsewhere and a trial and cold for military action against the kurdish held region of africa after it was a motion the u.s. was planning to work with local forces this sparked a wave of protests in the region with people developing out of the ones aggressive stay. free in will be aired the ones
12:04 am
graveyard today hundreds of thousands are protesting to tell him that the people of our friend will never leave their land. and the international community should send a message to turkey telling them to stop we have bought the white beach as down so we can defend ourselves. talker's army has already started moving its military towards the kowtows held areas north of syria and with its tanks now spotted at the border. as more of the rift between washington and i think around. the middle east has always proved a tough nut to crack for the united states hardly helping matters now though is lacking a unified game plan days ago the pentagon proudly announced it would create a so-called syrian border security force the coalition is working jointly with the syrian democratic forces to establish and train the new syrian border security force currently there are approximately two hundred thirty individuals training in
12:05 am
the cynical class with the goal of a final four size of approximately thirty thousand but the us apparently forgot to run the idea past turkey for ankara kurdish military groups i terrorist factions it's as clear cut as that and washington's announcement drove turkey hopping mad shit. america has admitted that it has established a terrorist army at our border and it's up to us to strangle that terror army at birth turkey power projected additional troops along with tanks to the southern border with syria and amid the spouse america's top diplomat rex tillerson intervened to save the day the entire situation has been mis portrayed mr scribed some people misspoke we're not creating a border security force at all being a mouthpiece of u.s. foreign policy these days is one hell of a job especially when you have to contradict your own military to keep
12:06 am
a happy but arguably that's not to listen is biggest brain wrench right now explaining why the u.s. military is still in syria is first it was the we need to fight the terrorists mantra our military policy in syria has not changed our priority remains to defeat of isis so called his law make state has to all intents and purposes now been reduced to a ragtag of guerrilla fighters but surprise surprise it's left to to listen to come up with a new purpose for the u.s. military in syria it is crucial to our national defense to mine korean military and diplomatic presence and sir. all unified independent syria under post assad leadership is functioning as a state. iranian influence in syria is diminished. and as if life wasn't hard enough or to listen here as the tweeter in chief as he's
12:07 am
president rex is a bit of a to run a saurus when it comes to social media but he tries to survive. i don't even. follow what he's tweeting so much usually has to pretty his tweets out of him to me. turkey analyst. believes there's a growing discontent with u.s. policies in the region of turkey. the u.s. administration right now is trying to lower the tensions but. you know in the fields what we're going to 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 n.y.p.d. and basically to really design the american foreign policy in syria i can tell you
12:08 am
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. another source of concern in syria militants that now have the means to produce their own chemical weapons that's according to russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov made the statement during a un security council session on the situation in syria. where you can militants are not only using chemical weapons but they also have their own technological and manufacturing capacities synthesize toxic substances for military purposes. at the united nations security council and his remarks he emphasized that while allegations against the syrian government regarding chemical weapons continue to be the focus of western leaders at the same time extremist forces that want to topple
12:09 am
the syrian government aren't their capacity to develop and use chemical weapons but american and british leaders and their 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 and last april well people will remember that. 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 haters actions by the assad regime.
12:10 am
it cannot be tolerated later we heard about how the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons formed the joint investigative. begin investigating it talking up with a report but throughout their investigation at no point did they ever actually use at the site of a chemical attack in consulate and this has been pointed out by russia so much focus is going to blaming the syrian government without much evidence and 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 accusations up damascus and twenty sixteen western backed militants reportedly used poison gas on several occasions in their attacks on government held areas and. oh.
12:11 am
look. i think that these kinds of weapons could be just self meaning i do not think you know i don't like nuclear weapons there doesn't need to be a government sponsor it's not difficult getting into bizzaro material we incentivize to use that would be friends with the international community oh more or less definitely let him you know the security in their environment of the russians without suspecting the rebels and so the last time there was
12:12 am
a chemical attack people for that attack him don't all sorts of sympathy for the so-called syrian opposition. that the rebels certainly know that. and so if they do you have chemical weapons i wouldn't be surprised if they were used. by car breaking news for you this hour here on r.t. a group of teenagers have attacked a school injuring four people including a teacher in eastern siberia let's get more details now auntie's jacqueline joining us this morning here in the studio good morning to you can you tell us the latest we know about this incident well what we're just being told right now is that there were in fact three attackers one of them has been detained and actually is. they've been taken to the hospital as well the other two it's unclear as to what their situation is at the moment but what we do know is that they had an x. at least and possibly multiple multiple cocktails that they attacked the school
12:13 am
with and injured multiple students it seems to be a younger grade around seventh grade students were the ones who were attacked in fact and the teacher was trying to keep them out of harm's way and also was injured a woman who is forty four years old is what the authorities are telling us and three of the students who are attacked are in serious condition two more in also not serious condition but also in hospital and so right now everyone's trying to figure out how this all happened what what what the motivation was behind it and you know the preliminary information is saying that it was a student of the ninth grade class that came in and attacked this school with the mall tough cocktail and the axe but there's a lot of conflicting reports a lot going on right now everyone's trying to get everyone to safety first of all and trying to figure out what exactly went on this morning we understand five hundred students in the school were evacuated this morning and when this was
12:14 am
happening as you were saying also investigators are trying to understand the motives behind this and the sad news on top of this though it's the second one this week exactly earlier this week in perm a. student i talked to school with a knife injuring almost a dozen or over a dozen of his classmates let's take a quick look at a rundown of what exactly happened in for. so obviously in just addition has already been started into both of these attacks but unfortunately. we don't know what the motivation was for the one person we don't know what the motivation was for the one today and of course there's still more information coming in on that so we'll have to. see what turns out to be the motivation behind these attacks and i'm sure i'll be speaking to you very soon
12:15 am
thank you. drug related crimes are becoming so bad on parts of the paris metro train drivers are reportedly refusing to stop at certain stations that's according to a letter written by a union which represents the metro and bus network in the capital are to jump on board to find out if those fears are grounded. for most parisians the metro is a staple of life with its winding tunnels and lines that stretch across the city it's often the easiest way to get from a to b. but down in the underground the gritty underbelly of the capital is being exposed drug related crime and violence has been a long standing issue on paris's metro but now the unions representing train drivers say it is spiraling out of control dealers and muses including those
12:16 am
taking crack cocaine a new role god thing they've doing. lighting up metro drivers is so fearful of attacks at some stations many are choosing to no longer stop there are several more of us of a more plants very very dangerous and it's are a fine and it can range from a simple punch to people using males and knives. stations like marks door more and market a western year are especially troubled druggy says come here for their daily fix and gangs have taken over the problem of a model for the problem is very dangerous for both the metal workers and for the commuters it's even more dangerous targets of lefts have seen more than one hundred at sacks take place. within minutes of arriving at mark's dorm or metro
12:17 am
station we witnessed what looks like a drug deal the man with his back to the camera has just arrived with a bag in her hand he walked the platform stopping and exchanging some packages with people and then he left with his bag empty this seems to be the new normal. there are lots of drug users and i think that with everything that's happening in the matter oh they should be doing something most of the time the drug users are aggressive and everyone is afraid for their security. children. twenty twenty five. lived there we will reverse of course. have been attacked just one time because. we heard in the middle of the night is smart for. playing with that problem was the precipice a problem as the security robberies can happen sometimes it's maybe aggression
12:18 am
physical aggression sometimes do why ceasar man attack another young man. as we travel through some of the most dangerous stations we saw metro security and police trying to crack down on the problem they succeeded in moving this bunch along but in reality all they've done is move the problem to another stop on to another day charlotte even ski r.t. paris. a british historian has criticized universities in the u.k. for promoting a positive thinking about communism it claims the pros and cons of the system are being scaled the same it's not just historians but the british media also are developing something of a red scare mentality as of late much was made of the prime minister wearing a bracelet preaching afraid of carla. communist known for concerns about the poor
12:19 am
elsewhere a buzz feed's science editor was forced to lock down her social media account due to abuse after writing that she wants communism for christmas nevertheless the claim by the historian came in response to a statement by the head of a marxist society at one london university. told the b.b.c. programme that communism was never given a chance to develop in the soviet union and therefore didn't fail but we spoke to her ourselves and she believes academics speaking out against communism i'm missing the point i think it's completely hypocritical and very typical of academics like him to kind of passionately you know talk about the deaths under the save i think this is you know very much selective outrage we look at you know the way the economy is right now particularly in britain wage growth is the lowest it's been since the napoleonic wars so it's really not surprising that young people are starting to question this economic system that isn't actually offering them
12:20 am
anything so there's definitely been a surge towards more marxist ideas because they make sense i think people are questioning capitalism because they can see it through the hypocrisy of politicians and bankers and academics. according to a new opinion poll nearly a quarter of young people view global businesses as a threat that's compared with just nine percent to view communism as a danger to the world a few and a lot again feels the media has a biased view towards communism. the media in general obviously don't paint marxism or socialism or really any kind of left wing politics in a positive light and that's because obviously in you know the media is owned by so in a group of people in the major is owned by a billionaire class i have certain interests they want to protect i think people can think for themselves and i wouldn't take their headlines general opinion of the british population. a new law in germany which combats hate speech online
12:21 am
making headlines again that's after the facebook account over or an alternative for germany party member was blocked following her call for people to join a women's march against rape and killings perpetrated by migrants in the country. i organize a women's march to the chancery almost every day we read about horrific creeps and murder of women the more women come the more pressure it will put america and politicians from the old parties together let us take to the streets to fight for our right to freedom and some of the terminations. is a woman's own children's rights activist she's also been travelling to iraq and syria to help people on the ground is of migrant origin herself and was surprised at the official reason for her facebook about. as an interface will come ashore on my travels with facebook started a few years ago facebook has a big issue with women of migrant background you can notice that i don't have
12:22 am
a nordic look you can see that i'm originally from the south here in germany i find through human rights which isn't always easy in islamic countries people like me are silenced by facebook it's this i have a certain popularity and quite a large following i was blocked for thirty days then my account was deleted but that wasn't the first time my accounts have now been purged four times and since i am a member of the arab d. which in germany far as for women's rights i am a nuisance for facebook and the mainstream media. was banned under the new law that forces social media to delete offensive content within twenty four hours after receiving a complaint otherwise companies would face huge fines earlier this month the deputy leader of the alternative for germany party saw her facebook and twitter account suspended after she criticized the country's police for saying happy new year in arabic. again says people who express their anger at migrant policies in germany
12:23 am
are seeing their voices silenced online. this problem is you know the policy of the german government and especially of the older parties is intended to help young men from islamic or african countries get settled in europe and to accept their religion and culture for this reason and german citizen who has lived here forever is being ignored and in the case of facebook or twitter it works like this they censor all critical statements even though they are consistent with the real situation of course it runs against the mainstream political line in germany for this reason they try to silence all critics of the german government's asylum policy. four people have filed a lawsuit against the city of berkeley in california and it's university injuries they claim they received during the riots on the campus there last year the violence erupted over a speech set to be given at the university by a prominent conservative.
12:24 am
12:25 am
during the protests but when that attack started ahead and especially after i was pepper sprayed i was completely incapacitated there was nothing i could do to defend myself so i had no choice but to turn around and just face the barricade i was worried about what was happening to my husband it turned out he was just a few feet away from me being beaten worse than any of us he was being unconscious afterwards by the police both the city and the campus police who are clearly not equipped given what happened the injuries that were sustained what i saw personally it was police initially standing outside of the building that they later locked us out of i thought in their knowledge and with a wave and by the time the attack actually started they were nowhere to be seen and they had locked themselves inside the building and wouldn't give us any aid at all but university of california buckley has declined to comment but a lawyer representing the victims said the goal wasn't to foster a bug but sometimes. message to campus staff and police to do a better job the injuries caused to our clients two of which were beaten
12:26 am
unconscious and still suffer from psychological disorders post-traumatic disorders so they are seeking money damages to compensate them for that but the main goal of this case is to send a message to campus police and campus universities that they they have to do their job you know i liken what happened here the deliberate effort to not intervene and to not do anything to fire a man watching a building on fire with their with their opposes water pouring out of them but they're too afraid to go into the building because they might get hurt it's the goal of law enforcement it's the role of law enforcement i should say to serve and protect the public and they did not do that. friday means football here on r.t. in the latest episode of his program stan collymore interviews the legend a sort of spanish national team defender and real madrid captain here's
