the victims were of african origin and suggests the incidents may have been racially motivated the suspect who police say is an italian national has been arrested it comes after the dismembered body of an eighteen year old italian girl was discovered in then two suitcases near not your router and nigerian migrant was arrested in connection with the death we spoke to an italian journalist about how the country is reacting to the issue of immigration at the moment we have a lot of arrivals and. is not is leaving italy alone in facing these issues if the situation is not manage properly we will have probably. aggressive campaigns and of course these kind of aggressive campaigns. can lead to more.

violence in the future. turkey and greece have reignited a decades long feud over the sovereignty of two small islands in the g. and c. . even threaten violence against top greek officials if they travel there athens will feel the anger of turkey we will break the arms and legs of any offices of the prime minister or of any minister who dares to step on to him even in the aegean unspeakable statements like these are elie into european political culture we have said this before each should know their place and additionally we would like to remind him that the legal status of the gene is clear and guaranteed by international law well viz are the inhabited territories being disputed turkey has become increasingly vocal in its claims of ownership over them lately the trigger is thought to have been a great court denying a turkish extradition request for eight men unquote wanted in connection with a failed military coup back in twenty sixteen now the isles were originally part of

the ottoman empire but have long been recognized as greek the sovereignty issue ignited back in december one thousand nine hundred ninety five when a turkish boat run a greek vessel assured it was followed by a secession of turkish and greek attempts to remove each others' flags from the island even by journalists former belgian parliament member and political expert load event news says he's not surprised by the row between the two nations. thank you increase have a past off military conflict i mean in the seventy's they were even at war at some point it's not a surprise that these two could nato member states. in such a situation from it won't make that much of a difference of course the other countries are very poor it's that this is my get out of hand you know that of course they do not like to nato members at war but nato has always survived these kind of skirmishes especially between greece and

turkey we should not forget that all rhetoric aside me too it was never about democracy and human rights i mean when nato was founded greece was a military dictatorship and turkey was limited dictated that did not impede the nato membership so i think on the whole things will go on as usual just the only thing that we have to take care o. is that this does not get out of hand this can always happen of. the crime ridden us city of baltimore has called for a cease fire this weekend in an attempt to stymie its skyrocketing murder rates last year saw a record three hundred forty three homicides in the city another is this spied its population shrinking increasing violence has been linked to severe inequality the prevalence of illegal firearms on an opioid epidemic reporting your similar accounts from baltimore. this weekend activists are calling for

a seventy two hour cease fire asking for a weekend without any violence whatsoever this is the third event of its kind in the last six months but these cease fire weekends began in august when baltimore's homicide rate reached a record high last year with three hundred forty three murders the highest in the u.s. people all around the city make commitments to just be peaceful and not be violent for three days and to celebrate life and do life affirming event so their events all over the city would distort what a weekend he would keep it is a week in no homicides the rise is partly attributed to a drastic drop in arrests made by the gun trace task force which is now dissolved as most of its members are on trial but there's been some damage control authorities have replaced its police commissioner baltimore police commissioner kevin davis was fired the notice shocked many this morning as mayor kaplan pew pushed out a press release at eight o'clock this morning i'm impatient we need violence. we

need the numbers to go down faster than they are however his appointment came as somewhat of a shock his name almost instantly brought back memories of police shootings back in one thousand nine hundred five nevertheless the new commissioner came out guns blazing with a bunch of reforms including predictive policing a computer system that can estimate the date place and even the possible perpetrator of a crime that's yet to be committed he's planning to install more surveillance cameras and deploy more patrols to troubled districts but stepping up surveillance doesn't really sound like a new plan even the department of justice advised against it both tomorrow and for its most widespread constitutional and is currently placing has exacerbated community distrust of the police particularly in the african-american community as court hearings continue here in baltimore many fear that there could be a problem much greater than one rogue unit and some of the latest testimonies. jenkins the indicted officer told me he had hand-picked the gun trace task force to be a front for a criminal enterprise he also said there were officers from other units working

with him baltimore police provided security for jenkins when he met with the drug supplier from new york despite efforts to reform the system it seems that every testimony undermines citizens trust in law enforcement and there are still weeks of trials to come samir khan r t reporting from baltimore. a good art is timeless or so with a say but one masterpiece the pick thing nude girls on a gallery in the u.k. appears to have fallen foul of changing social and political law but you've done was temporarily taken off display the curator sees the aim was to stimulate debate about the patrol of women in art.

or some visitors to the gallery criticized to the session calling it an act of censorship. i think the going to see some sort of printing down disguised as an opera for mrs wrong. i think you. can power over an author's right to pursue result work within the law will suffer. this is beyond words because all the pages in that go in the gallery then we do not so why should this though and i don't see why it should have been taken down again we're just saying that

it's another example of the prevalence sexualization of the human form within. society should take i think it's really bad that they're jumping on the me to campaign to sort of have an opera ties to the gallery if they're talking about the up to suffocation of women and then there are a hundred other paintings in the gallery that do that as well and some women not see fund that really empowering facebook's new messenger kids up is aimed at six to twelve year olds parents and health professionals worried it's bring you the full story after this. join me every thursday on the alex i'm i'm sure and i'll be speaking to us of the world of politics sport this list i'm showbusiness i'll see you then.

the world is getting away from us dollars wall reserve currency the one road one bell paul c. linking up russia and china is out of the dollar every last trade oil away from the dollar countries are desperate to get out of the u.s. dollar so the dollar is going to lose value no matter what anybody says here's the treasury secretary really trying to make it look like oh that's our polls are for a lower dollar going matter what he says the dollar is going lower as we've been saying for a number of years because the u.s. dollar is a currency that other countries recognize as funding wars and the weapons on the property that they're trying to escape. from.

your back with or to international israel has been cold a beacon of light and hope in the middle east by the u.k.'s defense secretary galban williamson also stressed that the nation has a friend for life in britain says he has been asking people in london for their reforms. if you were the u.k.'s defense secretary which country would you call a beacon of light hope in the middle east jordan beautiful are you going to hold you definitely don't the us. put it this way i suppose i would think lebanon where christians and muslims appear to work. away living together and sharing political power or rather perhaps he was talking about israel israel no i don't agree because of the palestinian troubles i don't subscribe to that they're not very good at adapting to other people and i think this is going to home a two state solution but do you think israel is

a beacon of light yes. because you have particularly i think you peace i think the peace and that's hope for the best he's also said that britain is going to remain one of the closest and best friends to israel so what's your take on that. we will be friends with everybody. facebook has been urged to poll the plug on a so-called safe chaat for children organizations have warned the social media giant its messenger kids up poses health and safety risks here's a quick look at the promo for it. it's a video chat and messaging out for families and kids and it's designed to give parents more control when their kids start to communicate online. well those in favor of the op think it hans's their. line skills in a way but just a buy this this up is designed for children aged between six and twelve parents or guardians can control the settings from their own facebook

a kind approved monitor contacts for instance the functions of messenger kids include sending text photos and using video chat facebook has defended the platform as you might expect saying it's a great way for relatives to connect. families will be better off because it exists my daughter uses it on a daily basis now it has enabled me to be more in touch with her. yeah i just touched upon those in favor of the op think it enhances their online skills and what they're calling a rapidly modernising world and that kids should be up to date but critics argue that children are simply not ready for the dangers of the digital world. i think and. emotionally it's a valid pang and i'm not ready to sort of go into anything like the need more time it's awfully hypocritical for a generation that created facebook to turn around and say that their kids shouldn't be on facebook because it's making them other happy i do think parents need to be

aware that the future is is real and it's happening and most of their children's lives will be spent inside of the digital cosmos i think perhaps to be an age limit otherwise. where is the going to end and i think children and just emotional. to be able to digital cosmos is real it is a real place and it will exists in the future for these children and so we need to help them understand how to navigate the digital world part of that is understanding what the rules of engagement are so keeping kids keeping themselves safe while they're online and understanding what information to share and what information they should keep private we need to be photographed with where we're going with and i think education is the k. if we can train them on how to use that but from the age of thirteen. maybe we can solve a few future problems but as i do you fear for kids we take them down social media here in. the u.s.

defense department published its nuclear posture review on friday i claiming america's nuclear strategy now apart from strengthening its nuclear capability that doctrine takes a seemingly tougher stance on china russian north korea claiming those states represent a unique and complex threat their review also points out that american diplomats would continue to speak from a position of strength when we got the reaction of russia's ambassador to the u.s. . in order to justify the increase in military spending and the growth in its nuclear capabilities america has come up with a scare story about russia we understand that the ideas aimed at boosting the military budget with trillions of dollars. paid twenty eight to nuclear review is already being compared to perak obama is from seven years ago we discussed the document with a director from the nuclear age peace find an american politician who's been closely following this story the vast majority of the nuclear issue is word for for

the well probably obama administration however the underlying tone of it is a throwback to the cold war what president trump declared in his state of the union address was that we need to ramp up our nuclear capability and make us so strong that nobody would be even willing to engage in or even try and gauge with the united states because we have a strong nuclear arsenal that actually is it's really dangerous thinking and it's almost like into the amateur hour it's a little bit of everything sure it's a throwback to some of the cold war more explicit nuclear threats between the u.s. and russia and between the u.s. and other adversaries namely china and north korea but it's also a continuation of u.s. nuclear policy from past decades this is not that much different than what president obama had in his nuclear posture review in two thousand and ten this is more aggressive it does lower the threshold for possible nuclear weapons use and it

calls for additional unnecessary types of nuclear weapons but in general this is much of this is the status quo. your tradin torch international more programs right after this. that you criminalist released but the point else to shaming into an institution those included on the list are accused simply by association. being from russia or is no one except it calls for suspicion so doesn't criminalist really changes.

exist says harlan kentucky. all of this group of them voices you can walk through street fanny's leave. a coma any city with almost no coal mines left. the jobs are gone all the coal mines the said i'd. love to see these people the survivors of a world disappearing before their eyes. i remember thinking when i was younger that if anything ever happened to the coal mines here that it would become a ghost town but i never thought in a million years i would see that and it's happened it's happened.

i'm afterthoughts it we're going underground is echoes of the twenty eight failure of western capitalism resoundingly on the british capital the people's assembly against austerity today holds a demonstration against the by. the seas of tory minority government needed to resume here in central london coming up in the show as capital shares collapse after profit warnings this week we speak to a labor m.p. and member of the karelian inquiry george about whether tory welfare reform is driving people to suicide and to claimants in different stages of the disability testing system tell us whether reassessing one point six million britons following arguably another failed neoliberal privatisation experiment is a good thing all the more coming up in today's going underground but first since u.k. pm theresa may was hold not being with communists in beijing it was left to a man called david living didn't want to questions that this week's pm queues in london and i'm a celebrity please get me out i living generally plaister is
