syrian border security force but what we've seen happening is the american administration is backpedaling now on plans to establish such a border force essentially after it created such a huge and furious backlash from america's close ally turkey the u.s. secretary of state rex tillerson has said that the entire issue has been mis portrayed and mr scribed the u.s. state department has this to say is he saying that when the pentagon says we're going to try to come up with a force because the people that did that long or is it just just feeling ok now i would have 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 about mr thomas yesterday we said there's no or the security forces 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 or neither is the secretary but somebody clearly just misstated their policy it's as simple as that the situation

will not submit a string of similar attacks throughout russia this week and to start going through the has the details of the past five days have seen a frightening trend creeping up in russia with three different attacks occurring at schools. and all those cases the young perpetrators used basic weapons knives and axes as that was likely all that they had at their disposal and a disturbing online trend may also link these incidents our sources believe that violent online groups that center around tragedies like the columbine high school massacre may also be a common factor now just to remind you the columbine tragedy took place in the u.s. back in one thousand nine hundred ninety two students aren't. teeth killed twelve
10:34 am
of their classmates and a teacher and that horrific massacre is apparently inspiring violence and children who weren't even born when it happened it's so popular that the followers of such groups even have a name for themselves columbine years now russia's version of facebook called v.k. has dozens of these pages open to all we did a simple quick search and found scores of them with posts that promote violent behavior things like describing the power someone feels when they have a gun in their hands one of the alleged perpetrators of monday's incident has been confirmed to be a follower of such pages and today's and wednesday's instance are being looked into see if the same is true for them as of today russian officials have announced that they will begin shutting down pages with extremist content the communications watchdog groups and 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 if closing pages will really be enough in the long run especially given that

a number of students have already taken the next stop and used violence against their classmates. the right leaning alternative for germany or a.f.d. party has proposed to verifying the age of old migrants coming to the country an idea that's been roundly condemned by all other parties in the bundestag peace all over courts. well if the right wing populist alternative for germany thought the getting into the bottle was going to be the hard part they've certainly been brought back down to earth with a bump over the last couple of days since the german parliament has convened on friday the f.d.a. put forward changes they wanted to see two laws relating to asylum and refugee status here particularly when it came to the ages of those claiming that refugee status in germany now the alternative for germany say that between thirty and eighty percent of those that have applied in the past haven't been at the age they said they were this was turned upon by the other parties within the bond the star
10:36 am
every single one of them to a man saying that the alternative for germany was wrong in doing this and in fact when the proposals were put forward they were greeted by booths in the chamber. to do day to day making no bones about it they disagree strongly with a.s.d. and all of their policies. one could get the impression our position is close to that of the air but if you just look through their proposal and listen to what they're seeing here you realize that it's all about attacking migrants. and the proposal of the arab d is permeated with right populism it took nor the reality that in the end of who ever seen the wording of the proposal and heard the speech of the f.t. representative will recognize instantly that it's not about the improvement of age verification but about stirring up animosity against young migrants. the kind of
10:37 am
rhetoric we heard from de goes against our christian values it's all about who towards foreigners and those we cannot support. we also saw on thursday and the parliamentary session it was held at the alternative for germany put forward an idea that the one of the. behind a rise in anti-semitism in germany had been due to the influx of islamic immigration that was then shot down many parties including all anglo merkel's christian democratic union saying that anti semitism had its roots in the far right in politics in germany and elsewhere around so that's where we stand at the moment for them if they've just entered parliament last september following the election this is the first time that they're really going the teeth into legislation that's not going well if you're an alternative which are many supporter anyway at the moment all of the other parties coming together uniting is one something we can't

find them doing over any other issue here in germany to say no to the a.f.p. and no to their policies. and it's not only in germany they don't impart that the f.d.a. is having a rough ride recently the facebook account of one of its members was blogs following her call for people to join a women's march against rapes and killings perpetrated by migrants i organize a women's march to the chancery almost every day we read about horrific reaps and murder of women the more women come the more pressure it will put america and politicians from the old parties together but a stick to the streets to fight for our right to freedom and some of the ten min asian. or despite belonging to a party known for its strong anti migrant rhetoric bilger who is the women's and children's rights activist regularly travels to syria and iraq to help people there she says migrant origins herself and was surprised that the official reason for her
