6:03 am
that's not where the similarities and it's a disturbing online turn may also link these incidents are sources believe that online violent groups that take inspiration from tragedies like the columbine high school massacre may also be a common factor now that of course took place back in one thousand nine hundred nine in which two students armed to the teeth killed twelve of their classmates and a teacher and followers of such groups that were five that tragedy refer to themselves as columbine years russia's version of facebook called v.k. has dozens of these pages open all on are full of post glorifying such attacks and guns we actually did a simple quick search and scores of them with posts that promote violent behavior things like describing the power someone feels when they have a god in their hand were easily found and one of the alleged perpetrators of monday's incident has been confirmed to be a follower of such pages and today and wednesday's instance are being looked into to see if the same is true for them now as of today russian officials have
6:04 am
announced that they will begin shutting down pages with extremist content let's take a listen to communications watchdog groups on social media which call for violence in schools it will be undertaken under the criteria of terrorism extremism and then . to commit suicide but the question remains will closing pages down really be anough in the long run it's also going to be extremely hard to do as new ones are opened every day and often hidden out of plain sight and have a shocking number of followers already. and that the news now in the lower in germany which combat hate speech online is making headlines again that's off the facebook account of a member of the right wing alternative for germany party was blocked following her cold for people to join a women's march against rape and killings perpetrated by migrants in the country. i organize

6:06 am
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 files for women's rights i am a nuisance for facebook and the mainstream media player 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 firings earlier this month the deputy leader of the alternative germany party saw her facebook twitter account suspended after she criticized the country's police saying happy new year in arabic bill she again says people who express their anger at my current policies in germany are seeing their voices foil and so on line. the problem is your policy of the german government and especially of the older parties is intended to help young man from islamic or african countries get settled in europe and to accept their religion and culture for this reason a german citizen who has lived here forever is being ignored and in the case of
6:07 am
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 the try to silence critics of the german government's asylum policy. 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
6:08 am
drug related crime and violence has been a long standing issue paresis metro but now the unions representing the train drivers say it's inspiring out of control dealers and muses including those 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 long to stop there a survivor more for survive more quickly is very dangerous and it's terrifying if you can range from a simple punch to people using nails knives or. stations like marks and masquerade a year or especially troubled druggies as come here for their daily fix and gangs have taken over. the problem is very dangerous for both the metro workers and for the commuters it's even more dangerous they are targets of
6:09 am
fast i've seen more than one hundred attacks take place. within minutes of arriving at mark's door metro station we witnessed what looks like a drug deal the man with his back to the camera has just arrived with a bag in hand he was 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 match row they should be doing something most of the time the drug users are aggressive and. everyone is afraid for the security of. children. twenty twenty five. lived there we were we were so of course. been attacked just one time because. we had in the middle of the
6:10 am
night. smart for. playing with that problem was a precipice a problem as the security robberies can happen sometimes it's maybe aggression physical aggression sometimes to my ceasar man attack another young man. as we travelled through some of the most dangerous stations we saw metro security and police trying to crack down on the problem this exceeded in moving this bunch along but in reality all they've done is move the problem to another stop on to another day. r.t. paris. one short statement from the u.s. military command has led to an uncomfortable situation for the white house the trumpet ministration has been rapidly backpedaling on plans to create a border force with kurds in northern syria after sparking a furious reaction from washington's key ally turkey the secretary of state later
6:11 am
tried to clarify the situation saying the u.s. had no intention of creating a border security force in syria. is he saying that when the pentagon says we're going to try to come up with a force of thirty thousand people that took that long or is he just disputing ok why wouldn't i would have to refer you to the department of defense and then i think they were clear in the statement that they put out so let me just refer you to them on that. but i'm asking about closing comments yesterday we said there's no border security force that's not what it is like i don't 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 is the secretary but somebody clearly just misstated their policy it's as simple as that. however the announcement had already threatens to create a new conflicts in war torn syria with turkey immediately moving its tanks towards the border it later said it has no option but to continue the operation. and turn
6:12 am
kurds then took to the streets to protest against ankara's military actions and to denounce the ones from our. freedom will be the ones graveyard today hundreds of thousands are protesting to tell him that the people of our friend will never leave their land. the international community should send a message to turkey telling them to stop. the y.p. g.m. and stand so we can defend ourselves. we discussed the latest tensions between the u.s. and turkey with international relations professor jamal wakim he believes we're currently seeing damage control being carried out is trying to limit the damage that was caused to the american relations with this new american movie establishing this border army on the pretext of protecting the border the syrian
6:13 am
border with iraq and with thirty but i believe the main geopolitical objective here is for the united states to have a good army in syria that could ensure the united states. foothold on syrian soil prevents the syrian government from extending its control over the. north east part of syria so as regional tensions between the two key allies worsen artie's ecostar love has been taking a closer look. 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
6:14 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 a happy but arguably that's not to listen is biggest brain wrench right now
6:15 am
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 the defeat of isis so-called islamic 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. military and diplomatic presence and sir. stable unified independent syria under post assad leadership is functioning as a state with. iranian influence in syria is diminished. and as if life wasn't hard enough or to listen he has the tweeter in chief as he's president rex is a bit of a to run
6:16 am
a saurus when it comes to social media but he tries to survive. i don't even have work a twitter account but i can follow what he's tweeting so my staff usually has to print his tweets out and in them to me. before people are sitting in the university of claiming to have been injured during last year's protests nonstory all this short break.

ambassador to the un nikki haley said on wednesday the trump administration's policy in afghanistan is working and they're closer to a peace process than ever before however the u.n. was were recently reporting itself almost a half a million people were displaced in the country in two thousand and seventeen alone let's have a look at some of the latest pictures from afghanistan. the u.s. policy on afghanistan is working. we are all were victims of the bombing is ongoing our violence a lot of houses have been destroyed several villages about sixty seven thousand are squeezed families are living in this camp. closer to talks with the taliban and the peace process than we've seen before. as
6:19 am
we were a taliban and i said we're fighting each other rather than government forces launched a military operation against high schools our houses were destroyed our life struck world i want to. see if. we do not want afghanistan to be a safe haven for terrorism any more and so we continue to go down that path twenty one international terrorist groups operating in this country and dozens of suicide bombers are being sent we are and we do everything we can to combat terrorism. particularly has to pretend that u.s. policy is working because she's loyal follower of donald trump she can't say that donald trump's policy is not working his policy is very similar to obama's except to do is now sending another four thousand troops so soon there will be something
6:20 am
like fourteen thousand u.s. troops instead of money so that's a sign that the old policy wasn't working but it's not at all clear that the new policy of sending more troops will work the trouble is that writers five or ten years ago the main opponents were the taliban and since then we've had other people coming into the picture there was. work there was good but in the third group it's come up in the last five years or i guess they've been conducting some very dramatic suicide bombings in kabul itself so that call blew itself has become much less safe than it used to be. four people have filed a lawsuit against the city of buckley in california on this university for injuries they claim they received during riots on the campus that last year the violence erupted over a speech that a given at the university of by a prominent conservative.
6:22 am
berkeley she believes the campus and the city's police acted insufficiently during the protests but when the attack started 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 were clearly inadequate given what happened when the injuries that were sustained right i personally was police initially standing outside of the building that they later locked us out of my father lair knowledge on the way and by the time the attack actually started they were nowhere to be seen they had locked themselves inside the building and wouldn't give us any aid at all the university of california berkeley has declined to comment but the lawyer representing the victims says they want to
6:23 am
send a message to campus staff and police to do a better job the injuries caused to our clients two of which were beaten 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 be able to not do what i need to fire him and 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. on friday on our team means football and in the latest episode of his show starring collymore interviews

the legendary sergio ramos spanish national team defender and real madrid captain has a quick preview. ok zack ok. is it important that russia have a good world called the team gets out of the group for the momentum of the tournament. i think that when one plays at home backed by their country one always has a higher responsibility is a plus and gives extra motivation which will shine through i wish the russian team the best because when we have played there they have always given us a friendly reception but i only wish them well until we cross paths if we ever do.

i think that is what drove meets coincidence and confidence is based on common rules i strongly believe that the u.s. and europe out any place could be croly and the united states has been a partner in creating that fool based system. i'm afraid that. through air force and especially language person from past been using and i'm not that confident that the contribution of the made states to that school based system is still as relevant as the speech.

a kid still some are fond of you those that didn't like to question our arc and i secretly promised to never be like it said one does not leave a funeral the same as one enters mine it's consumed with this one quite. a sweet as there were no other takers. claimed that mainstream media has met its maker. the tale of two trumps how can lawmakers work with a president who can't seem to stick to a position for more than a day we'll take a look at that on this edition of politics. digging on larry king politico is calling it a credibility crisis for president trump other news organizations are reporting it too is it possible for lawmakers even those in the president's own party to
6:29 am
negotiate with a chief executive who can't seem to stick to a position for more than a few hours and where does that leave important legislative matters on this year's calendar we'll talk about that with eleanor clift columnist for the daily beast political commentator and author she joins us from washington d.c. what do you make of this is a political reporting that his fluidity on important issues has killed more bipartisan deals than he's managed to strike. well the amazing thing is that some of us are still surprised that this is how he behaves the premium is on whoever gets to speak with president trump last because he doesn't really read anything he doesn't do his own research he doesn't have six views on hardly any topics and so whoever is with him last can sway him and so we saw that really on display last
