facts of how the so feel so large and how so many on so little. french prison guards who've been striking over security conditions have agreed with the justice minister's plan for improving french jails some of the guards demands have not been accepted such as housing fifteen hundred radicalised inmates in special units the nationwide two week strike began after an increase in violent attacks on staff by inmates one of the hotspots is the ferry marrow she was jailed in a paris it's the largest in europe and holds almost four thousand prisoners it's also used to monitor potential or suspected terrorists among them is a slum who faces trial over the twenty fifteen paris terror attacks and a staff walked out in protest clashes erupted with police outside the prison.

we continue because today there is nothing the few things that have been announced by the chancery in the trade unions staff have rejected entirely with blocking everything with blocking the prison if larry will block all affronts in terms of security we want concrete things including materials that allow prison staff to work in safety not what you do 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 . well the protests were triggered after an inmate stabbed three prison guards a string of other incidents followed the latest leaving two guards needing hospital treatment some of the attacks were reportedly carried out by radicalized prisoners

. now russian opposition figure alexina valley was briefly detained on sunday as rallies took place in several cities his supporters have been protesting about the upcoming presidential election down off was in central moscow as the events unfolded around a thousand people have been gathering here in moscow calling for the boycott of the upcoming this march presidential election they're saying that the vote is illegitimate since their candidate alexina valley has not been allowed to run this because he's still serving a five year long suspended criminal sentence after he had been found guilty of embezzlement and a person like that cannot hold public office in russia now the location of this demonstration has not been approved by the authorities they had no problem with the protest itself but they offered a different place for a but the valley supporters decided to carry on with this

place with this location literally hundreds of meters away from the kremlin now the offices of his anticorruption fund have been raided by the police here in moscow as well but in terms of troubles with the law here in the russian capital that has been it also this action is not just in moscow demonstrations have been held in various russian cities we know some people or some protesters have been detained there as well but in general very peaceful people have gathered their voice their discontent and they have seemingly dispersed. families in the west african country of mali are seeking answers about a french airstrike believed to have killed eleven local soldiers it's been more than two months since the bombing raided the fishelson both sides have given conflicting versions of water and r.t. spoke with the relatives of one of the soldiers my nephew was taken prisoner during the attack on the no power security post there were people dead. people wounded and

people missing. i ask for anyone who can help us get out of here don't leave us in this place. the french intervened to destroy a jihadi camp during this intervention eleven mali and soldiers lost their lives. the operations are good so that sarah's training camp and the notes on was the presence of molly soldiers established. that there were eleven hostages found on this site and all of them died during this operation one day they tell us that the hostages were there during the bombing and the next day the tell us otherwise. certain media wanted to say that their levon mali and hostages that were at this site had joined the jihadi movement

we consider that to be an insult to the memory of these men who lost their lives in the service of the nation. they were indeed hostages of terrorists and they should not be any ambiguity between a french friends and us. both because superior phone me saying that after checking they found no evidence as to whether boubacar is dead or alive while waiting to receive news regarding our son or france launched a campaign in mali back in twenty fourteen after islamist militants seized parts of the country around four thousand french troops are now involved in the ongoing anti terror operation and a few weeks ago the u.k. agreed to bolster the count by with attack helicopters a military academy in kabul is hit by explosions and gunfire two days off after us one hundred people died in a terror attack in the afghan capital more on that after the break.

when i was told something seemed wrong why don't we all just don't all. get to shape out these days comes to educate and in detroit equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. level walk sell you on the idea that dropping bombs brings police to the chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battles going. to socks for the tell you the lobby

gossip the public i fell. off the back telling me you are not cool enough to buy their products. all the hawks that we along with all the walking. welcome back and we resume with some news from afghanistan local media are reporting intense gunfire and several explosions coming from a military academy in the capital kabul well for more on this let's cross live now to local journalist bill also well hi there bill all can you tell us what you know so far. what we know from eyewitnesses and local residents outside of the marshal for him national defense university they're still

gunfire the attack started around five o'clock this morning when it was dark we are being told by some sources that the attackers had night vision goggles and that the used an afghan national army vehicles one eyewitness who is a resident inside an internally displaced people's camps told me that he can see a ladder that was used by one of the attackers to climb on the wall and then a blanket or some sort of clothing was placed on the barbed wire. this attack comes after kabul has experienced at least two didley attacks in the last few weeks so it is another intelligence in security breach. this also is quite surprising because kabul was placed on a high state of security alert and one would think that the government would really be able to be able to prevent these attacks from the point of view of seven million

people who live in kabul yesterday afghanistan's security cabinet came to a press conference in there were very adamant that they were good at their job in that they really turned down suggestions by some angry citizens that they should really resign and they were just boasting of success on the battlefield and they said they were doing their jobs obviously this attack just shows you how volatile the security situation remains the academy was attacked last year in a suicide attack as well and this is afghanistan's only hold for a better leadership within the military institutions this is belt after the sam harris military academy in the u.k. it is. legacy of british military after they left helm suffering both casualties and fatalities this was one of their major engagements here in

afghanistan and the academy has really had both male and female candidates so i would just think that this attack will further undermine the confidence of the people in the state of security and it will actually raise some serious questions how many more of these sleeper cells are in kabul city how many more of these attacks and what if anything the afghan government is doing in terms of a strategy that's working to stop these attacks from taking place. plenty of questions right there bill also ari in kabul thank you very much indeed thanks. well as mentioned those events in kabul come two days after a taliban suicide bomber killed one hundred three people and injured two hundred thirty five in the diplomatic quarter of the city. and the. closer i have a store near the site of the blast when the car blew up i fell to the ground my

brother was injured i took him to hospital it was already overwhelmed so i put a bandage on my brother's wound and took him to another facility as. such lots of shopkeepers here were wounded and killed the attack was devastating i saw people's limbs line on the ground. well saturday's bombing was the deadliest terrorist attack in afghanistan since the truck blast last may which killed one hundred fifty and it follows a recent rise in violence across the country on wednesday gunmen stormed a save the children office in the city of jalalabad and also detonated

a car bomb outside the premises at least six people were killed and dozens more injured islamic state claimed responsibility for the attack. itself. reports in germany this week claimed the number of islamic extremists inside as east europe is being under reported by angela merkel's government these are based on classified documents obtained by germany's left party artie's peter oliver as the story there's a growing threat from islamic extremism in europe based in the balkans and the german government is keeping it to itself but that's according to a highly classified report that's being seen by some left party m.p.'s the media. the german federal government cannot discount the basic threat posed by individuals and splinter groups in the islamist scene in bosnia-herzegovina. the hush hush document goes as far as to claim that there's a direct link between radical islamic groups in bosnia herzegovina and people in

germany the true nature of what this heavily classified report says doesn't come out parts of it were redacted from the copy that was shown to the left party the federal government has been trying to downplay the growing islamist threat in public furthermore it's entirely unacceptable that the government continues to cover up the role of the gulf states my colleague charlotta been ski travel to bosnia herzegovina back in december she witnessed firsthand the situation on the ground there regarding islamic radicalization the local imaam is telling me that some of the residents have joined islamic state in this when a lot of the you know that there are people who went to syria and forth on the side of bicycle but who tried to stop them and what it looks like an ordinary sleepy village a few houses nestled between the hills not how you might imagine a cradle of terror. a local a

man says he fears for his life after speaking out against those who joined eisel we would do with these radical elements are always unpredictable and these people breed with me the aid at the same table as me and they want to shoot me this has been edited version of the report issued by the government raises a lot of questions over what exactly germany knows about islamic radicalization in the balkans and how bad the situation actually is as we see in the arts or to our parliamentarian question the german government gives the ex the types expertize that it doesn't explicitly in the gate the possibility that single persons or groups belong to the islamistic scene of bosnia or else the governor could be a threat to germany and europe but in the same time the government in guys to speak about it financial transactions that are provided for example by the growth states

or target of the bike and states as well as the sending of the moms by the states and contrary to the german secret service. the german government tries to hide the fact of growing danger coming from islam is the groups from the public. in northern colombia two officers have died and one's been injured in an explosion at side a police station is the latest in a serious a bomb attacks on police stations in the country this weekend the deadliest happened on saturday morning when five officers were killed more than forty people were also injured including civilians. and another attack happened in a city in northern ecuador close to the colombian border twenty three people were injured in a car bombing outside a police station the ecuadorian president claimed the attack was connected to the drugs trade to do also declared a state of emergency in the city on twitter wiki leaks chief julian assange and he was recently granted ecuadorian citizenship pledged

a reward for any information about the attackers. now if someone asks where are you from would you be offended that question has stirred debate about racism after a social media campaign was launched in sweden artie's hunnish assess he explains. well from sounds like an innocent enough question doesn't it but it could land you in trouble here's what i actually have to explain that i first need to tell you about an online campaign launched in sweden to help expose racism hash tag no stranger we hope to raise awareness regarding the extensive issue of racism that actually does exist in sweden although many want to believe that we live in the world's most tolerant country they are dearest scheck's parents as of being subjected to racism and tens out asking why are you from rep some people up the wrong way even though i was born here people always ask me where i'm from i hate it

when they do that nobody put on a decide where my home is where i come from doesn't concern you and it shouldn't matter i say shouldn't we ever ask people about their country of origin to be on the safe side. well here's some advice from a man behind the hashtag no stranger campaign you can also question just make sure you do it right it's ok to wonder about someone's country of origin but it should not be the very first thing to ask a stranger about because the reaction that follows is usually very stereotypical

and racist like oh you're from viet nam i think it's quite terrible that you guys eat dogs. so its name fest origin night and no follow up questions got it. aside the arabian beauty pageant has banned twelve of its competitors for using botox injections but this contest is for camels and it's left some competitors with the hub. thank you very. much. cut it makes the head more inflated so when the camel comes it's like oh look at how big that head it's it has big lips a big no. such

utter. fear cheating everyone a fine should be applied. her. well for more news on or about stories go to aussie don't call rory say she will be with you at the top of the hour with the latest news but for me by. here's what people have been saying about redacted the night with us actually just full on awesome will the show i go out of my way to launch you know a lot of the really packed a punch to sleep yampa is the john oliver of r t america's got the same we are apparently better than booth nothing says i see people you've never heard of love redacted tonight was the president of the world bank so take your money go write it

exchange so let me sway. in this descent to see that. we've done just. hello and welcome to cross talk or all things are considered on peter lavelle release the memo russia gate morphs into the f.b.i. gate also are the u.s. and turkey on the path to confrontation in syria and the great debate in jordan

peterson is called a one man army and is taking the internet by storm. cross talking f.b.i. gate i'm joined by my guest mark sloboda he's an international affairs and security analyst we also have a he's a political analyst as well as a leading expert at the center for actual politics and we have dimitri bobbitt she is a political analyst with sputnik international red cross the girls in effect and you always can jump in. me go to you first hear. a we're going to see a new member new debate. like who lost turkey because if you remember when the communists came to power in china that was lost china and it ruined a lot of careers because people didn't get it right ok. who's losing turkey who's gaining turkey going well let me remind you that in one thousand nine hundred eighty there was a big debate who was russia and the it was at the times when supposedly russia was

so democratic mr yeltsin was still in power in these all those guys two boys and those who called to report called it s. called us all out of a few billion dollars right there that's about all the all the yeltsin's guys the younger forms but what's going on now between turkey and the united states is unbelievable i mean trying to remove a relatively loyal regime in syria which you know mr us with was oriented towards the european union more than towards russia the united states would need to almost a much more important country turkey but what it might lose lose it a line and some top of it go ahead of the united states to the crease is a very stark choice the us has the cure in syria as a is the only force the only viable for it and they're in bed with us with with the kurds that that would support the partition of the factual partition of syria and

that supports the u.s. and and if so the u.s. can support the curate's and then it gets the. we see that happening now who are the united states going to stop supporting the curate's that turkey would be happy about that but then the united states would be left with almost no credible serious support force see and taste to it and no reason to justify their continued presence is a kind of choice is ally with the curate's and have to keep it as is an adversarial power considering that turkey has the second largest army in. late that of a very serious question sure you know. one of the things is to do one he can't afford to lose in syria he's put too much into it oh yeah he's politically security invested i don't believe that peace in syria is

possible. the question isn't while charlock sought continues in syria but well ordered god continues in ankara. god must go hash tag or to go what is that you've been in the military what is the possibility of some kind of confrontation you know because just as i just said and you just said you know one is not going to back down this means a lot to him and his legitimacy at home and the ongoing problem they've had with the united states is it isn't so important to the united states because if you look at the the defense community intelligence community even in the u.s. they're divided about what's going on yet in fact you're starting to see splits not only among the administration but in the for instance policy blob between the neo cons and the liberal imperialists they're divided on this issue and victor is exactly right you either get a kurdish protectorate carved out of syria to continue to destabilize syria and weak in iraq and thus by weakening one of their allies or you get to make continue

your relationship with turkey as a member of nato and then a u.s. turkish alliance which allows u.s. military bases in turkey that their flights are necessary for controlling the region also gives the united states access to the black sea which is russia's underbelly of course so there's big geopolitical questions here but obviously this is a self created blowback we've been saying on the show all along that if the u.s. tried to partition east syria with the kurds it would face blowback politically both from turkey and from iraq likewise erdogan has created this situation where he calls kurdish terrorists there's no evidence that any. syrian kurds have been involved in terrorism on his territory but he created this by illegally arming training and cellaring sectarian militants you know the united states. were arming him and supporting the kurds are there is one thing in a bottle of this situation the final you become of the truth about the united states financing terrorists out of the mold of babes no out of the mouth of mr had

to go and so he's the guy who. well that's why you see it's not exactly a challenge to the model to be no shortage of people who are being punished in terrorism. but here basically admit to something that all the other need to remember us have no home but they have been hiding it yet so ever they're gonna put in these. where he drove himself by his decision to change the regime in syria he is now i'm sorry he's now spewing the truth let me know where to go if i want to if i go if i put in. the existence the possibility of a kurdish state when turkish border is an existential threat to a president of literature and that's where his name is there anything else would do right now do exactly what they're going to he's doing these are the curate's yes he made mistakes i agree wholeheartedly with mark as far as that he got the start he

was one of those that supported the syrian civil war he created the situation where the syrian kurds who were who have now more power and more autonomy and more willingness to act against the occasion to the interests then i always explain to everyone that he has to choose now i mean if he continues down this path and wants to drive all the way all the way to the iraqi border here i mean is he going to have to choose nato or not nato but the level of negotiations agrees or disagrees and he he's not willing at this point to take out of need to there isn't even the mechanism set for that. but at the same time to ricky and the gun is not going to do anything that will endanger the national security and seventy of that if you look at what is who's bluffing here mark everyone's blood everyone's everyone is bluffing at this point including the syrian government and russia the kurds in africa have now officially called publicly for the syrian government to

help come in and protect them against the turkish invasion this isn't going to be met because they aren't fully they didn't fully agree to demands that russian the syrian government sent for them which included completely dismantling the kurdish militias and either moving east to the us controlled territory or joining the syrian army plus relinquishing control of oil fields in eastern syria which if you deem if the kurds before this incursion started a little over a week ago if they'd just taken the deal to pick up the syrian flag that would've no no that's that was the that was the minimalist demand they accepted that there was a maximalist demands from russia and the syrian government and there was no negotiation a compromise position should have been official the kurds or alfre offered that at the time they are offering that now that's not and has a habit of choosing the wrong side well you know it's one one one chooses the wrong

side one place and that's what the kids are doing now let's hope that the goods will have a voice at the congress of all the syrian minorities that is going to be held in sochi you know in the coming days but actually if you look at the pattern it repeats itself in syria you know the foreign invader i'm sorry they've been trying to remove the syrian government created more and more programs you know that the states intervened in syria in order to replace a person who was not actually and they west and mr ross up and they've got a terrible problem with the islamic state you know which was much more dangerous than ten loss of state them together right. you wanted to put it it's all people in power in syria they've got their kurdish state grade next to the border. it's the worst possible outcomes if you look at it i mean how does this change mean the rest of syria we have reconciliation going on.
