a shooting incident us national security agency headquarters in maryland several people injured this is suspected shooter. also ahead on the program. remains has come from government. to. persuade. those opposing are betraying the country. from the european union during a media grilling. here's. world powers highlight the. struggle he said solution to them

here's the story of one former member returned to russia. while i was lying in the hospital people came up to me and tried to convince me to become a suicide bomber. one minute past eleven am in vancouver eight pm and ten at night here in moscow this wednesday february the fourteenth by names you know neal welcome to the program we begin our bulletin in the u.s. where a shooting incident unfolded. security agency headquarters at fort meade several people have been taken to hospital according to in an essay statement but either their injuries are not attributable to gun fire authorities say the incident is over under control with the details here. the shooting took place just

outside the n.s.a. headquarters at one of its secure entry gates and according to a statement from the n.s.a. several people have been hospitalized and the local reports say that a security guard was injured and then taken to the hospital immediately following the attack and we don't know the particulars regarding who was responsible but photos came out on social media showing a black van and a handcuffed man sitting on the ground and you can also see a bullet holes on the will windshield of the van and the f.b.i. has sent personnel to respond to the incident but the n.s.a. says that the incident is under control and local authorities have warned that highway m d a thirty two is closed in both directions advising drivers to take alternate routes and expect long delays and a president trump has reportedly been briefed on the shooting but we haven't heard anything else from the white house now this isn't the first time there's been an attack at the n.s.a. headquarters back in twenty fifteen two men disguised as women rammed a stolen van into the agency's gates now the attack left one person dead and two

injured so far we're not sure how serious today's incident is but the numbers haven't even been confirmed yet so we're just going to have to wait to hear from authorities. the united states is no joining in the chorus of growing concern coming out of europe over four and i still find her is returning to their home shores washington urged its allies particularly britain to pay more attention to citizens who fled europe to join the terrorist organization or you're the u.k. defense secretary said they should not be allowed to return home i don't think they should ever set food in this country again they turned their back on britain use everything we stand for then the war's over the worst we're working with the coalition on foreign fighter detainees and generally expect these detainees to return to their country of origin for disposition. well another british official

suggested extreme measures be taken the minister for international development said several months ago that the only way to deal with returning fighters was to kill them for terrorists of u.k. origin who come home are facing prison sentences while some other european countries have tried to reintegrate former eisold fighters back into society in denmark x. even received department son jobs to promotes reintegration earlier we heard opposing views from our guests on how to deal with returning journalists. initially britain said we're going to make them stateless remove their passports not going to allow them reentry other countries then said let's take a more light approach some of the nordic nations said let's try to repatriate them have. programs which in part have actually been quite successful in some areas at the same time then the u.s. is now taking the lead and the u.s. defense said foreign countries need to repatriate their own citizens and deal with

them using the rule of law and i think that's a sensible way to go they should not come back here it's as simple as that because they've committed the crimes abroad so why should the taxpayers. foot the bill for all this rehabilitation and all the shore and then probably the there in jail for quite a while that cost more money when these crimes have been committed of course let the authorities deal with them under the rule of law in them country you know there are lots of different stories about what happens to these people if we make them stateless stenciling they will stay out there they will keep breeding extremism terrorism and radicalization and they'll keep killing and they'll keep hating us so we have it's a problem have to deal with you can't hide from it you cannot fall back on this british passport so you know i committed atrocities abroad but all for we british passport into the mix so we get sent back oh no how do we know people have committed crimes without putting the evidence in front of them and putting them on trial just assume people went out there so i don't want to go out of here in london regularly on trial i don't like to go on my own regularly well these are obviously

the the un is so weak. the you again is so weak just nonexistent the should have. should have at the un peacekeeping forces making safe and so we could properly categorize these people rather than these people go in to fight for whichever side these people fight. against but now because the fight for the cure is to be classed as tell us here it becomes a ridiculous situation while in russia generally the most dangerous form of journalists are imprisoned. though in the past a number did join to radicalization programs which have now closed however one case has come to light now in the country a former fighter says he escaped the terror group and turned himself in to the russian security services he then faced trial in russia but was later released the court explained that he was never involved in combat also cooperated with the investigation after admitting his guilt to speak with him about his time in syria.

i got interested and started reading forums and watching video online i was given a phone number of a person who could help me get to syria and he is sure me that those who came could leave it any time and no one would be kept there but they immediately took away our documents and telephones it was a shock for me i felt helpless and everything was different from what they told me . in syria. lost a leg in an earth strike before finally deciding to flee he's now working closely with security services and has been shown a certain amount of the immediacy election was one of the thousands of russians who went to syria iraq to join. after an explosion i lost my sight and felt a sudden pain when i realized my leg had been torn off i had surgery and went

through rehabilitation at the same time they were making a prosthetic leg for me while i was lying in the hospital people came up to me and tried to convince me to become a suicide bomber and they said that i anyway had no leg what else could i do i couldn't refuse directly it could have caused a suspicion. to some. i was first overcome with joy while on a bus in turkey and only once i was in russia did i realize i had managed to escape and sort of i went to the f.s.b. department and wrote a confession i decided that it would be better if i was interrogated a lot and i told them the whole story now i have a new family i married a russian muslim girl i work at a construction company and still stick to islam but i don't want to go to mosques anymore i want to avoid questions. to the

u.k. and it's planned exit from the european union the british foreign secretary boris johnson being giving an update on divorce negotiations with the e.u. which many have criticized for lack of progress with the story here's the rest of it. this is the first in a series of six speeches to be made by cabinet members in the next three weeks boris johnson has opened this series of speeches in titled road to bret's it and it was an address aimed at persuading people who don't think that leaving the e.u. is a very good idea that it's actually all about hope and opportunity but in the same breath saying that reversing that decision would be a very bad idea here is a fear that some people are becoming ever more determined to stop brics it to reverse the referendum vote of june twenty third twenty sixteen and to frustrate the will of the people i believe that would be a disastrous mistake that would lead to permanent and in the radical feelings of betrayal he's identified three main fears that people who don't want to leave the

e.u. have they talk about security the fear that it would cost the u.k. address to fend for itself they talk about it being a pulling up of the drawbridge that breaks it is synonymous with xenophobia and also of course economic worries that britain would be worse off outside the single market and the customs union so johnson this morning tried to address those fears in turn the consensus is a speech that as i say was long on what full and slightly off color jokes but very short on detail which is arguably what might make some remain as change their minds about bret's it on twitter of course opposition m.p.'s were very quick to point this out yvette cooper said that with thirteen months to go what we need is this is a not bluster and david lammy made a similar point we've heard it all before a few bad jokes and a few long words even boris himself was sounding a little bit desperate by the end under a hail of questions from journalists enough of your sweet nothings with the clarity

do you think that you are the right person to be reaching out to to those remain and do you worry that this uncertain approach breaks it's the with feeding this country because we have a pm who weren't so sure vote for it today some of the anger that. fuge remains has come from your own government except this morning i'm not going to. persuade everybody but i've got to i've got to try and i've got to make the effort that is in the end these are people's feelings and people's feelings matter two questions remain that well also today's media conference and that is whether boris is the man to deliver this message and of course whether it's actually too little too late. severe weather conditions prompted the evacuation of olympic park in south korea on wouldn't say spectators were asked to go indoors and a number of events were postponed strong winds forced authorities to dismantle

information tents and we were trying to was in the eye of the storm for us. some very serious wind issues in this part of south korea we saw earlier on wednesday for the first few days of the olympics people were complaining about the cold and then when it finally got warmer some unbearable wind gusts here just a few hours ago i was working outside the coastal olympic park in need and we have to stop filming every other minute because it was almost impossible to work with the volunteers to stay outside and i even saw one of them being carried away and then taken away by and i view and so there have definitely already been angry east because of the high winds i saw the temporary tents with the merchandise being blown away fences falling things falling off the roofs and the trees so that is the reason obviously why the fans were being told to stay indoors but again the volunteers they just have to continue doing their job so it remains incredibly

dangerous for them obviously this kind of weather is a headache for the athletes and the organizers and a number of sporting events have already been postponed including. alpine skiing and biathlon speaking of my own duties here n.p.r. chang i just want to show you a few funny moments that happened to our crew a little earlier because of that very same high wind. would say this kind of thing. just let's wait for the wind is a bit lower. it's just going to. it's

a hurricane the second. it's hard. for. america's top diplomat has assured his middle eastern country parts that don't trump decision to recognize jerusalem as these really capital will not affect the city's borders or holy sites rex tillerson gave those assurances on their relations building tour across the mideast important to note that when president truman made his decision regarding the jerusalem he also made two very important points as well one of which was. where he was not advocating for any changes to the status quo is to oversee the holy holy sites and secondly he made clear that the positions on the final boundaries are borders of jerusalem it is a matter of this left for the parties to negotiate and discuss well back in december president trump through the support behind israel's claims over the city

of jerusalem saying that the u.s. would move its embassy there from tel aviv now the move was condemned by world leaders and the united nations and stirred violent protests around the globe. well we spoke to palestinian politician dimitri dilla me he listens trip will help improve relations with countries already younger trumps. this is doesn't go beyond a public relations effort after the the mess that was caused by trump's

decision on declaration on drugs from back in december i don't think he will be successful he is known to be a lightweight in the us foreign policy especially pertaining to the middle east as he admitted himself the peace plan that he talks about and it's only he have seen it he have seen points of it and that these are his words so in other words the secretary of state has no idea what he's talking about. also another side we know that how the donald trump runs his white house it wasn't like a corporation and he is the only one with the ideas he's only want to take credit for everything but he will push fairly on everybody else and i believe that tillerson his involvement at this point that just seeing case something goes bust which things are going that way in that direction in the middle east president

comes to the peace process or the non-existent peace process i think tillerson is here just to get the blame later on that's all. reports that the american led coalition in syria has killed dozens of russian mercenaries have led to headlines raising the specter of direct u.s. russia confrontation a moscow responded to that. russian citizens might be in syria but they don't belong to russia's armed forces over the citizens which once again we are calling on everyone not to move on in times from influence information and serious approach in describing such an important issue to me because also suggested all media sources to reach out to russia's defense ministry to various facts before publishing and asked for the us side the world there has been no confirmation coming from the air on the contrary the u.s. defense secretary said that he has a no information that a knee a russian army servicemen were at the casualties following the u.s.

air strikes now a number of reports first appeared on different social media platforms last week suggesting that anywhere from several dozens to up to several hundred russian mercenaries were killed in syria and their reports of alleged russian casualties were very quickly picked up by different international media sources including the bloomberg c.n.n. and the daily mail the new york times and many others so as it stands for now there has been no confirmation provided to regarding the story if well when we could go pro-government forces in syria were attacked by the u.s. led coalition near the euphrates river the coalition say it was responding to an provoked on the serbian democratic forces headquarters there who are fighting the government these are some of the survivors being treated at a local hospital. fronts where out of almost

two known citizens who travel to join this will make state in the middle east intelligence sources say about sixty seven came from wall particular part a suburb charlotte dubin ski trouble there. a short train ride from paris is trapped on the surface there's nothing much to set aside from the thousands of other towns in the country but you don't have to scratch very deep to see that trap is very different where you won't see any non butcher shops there were i think at the moment over fifteen hundred prayer rooms and five mosques if you look at people on the street you won't see couples holding hands you'll see the women are dressed in strict islamic dress. there's a lot of home schooling so you couldn't really consider trap. typical french town anymore it's a little bit like a state within the state for decades it's been considered a magnet for muslim fundamentalists hardline salafism and one hobby is

a widely practiced and trap has become synonymous with jihadism. and dozens of people. islamic state i was have carried out attacks. have been linked. in two thousand and three. with her right appears to. think that. there is some plain white pride remaining bad but your heart is only a matter of time before we have another attack the basic problem is that the ideology that's driving this and this goes much deeper than terrorist cells planning and executing attacks that ideology is so ingrained that last year a poll of french high school students revealed thirty two percent of muslim students believed islamic doctrine was superior to scientific fact another in two

thousand and sixteen showed that sixty eight percent believed islamic law was superior to french law there's also concern that in an area like this that was once branded. by the authorities. but syria is becoming the land. of. the full veil covering has been burned to the eighty's yet the police are often reluctant to intervene off the riots in two thousand and thirteen when officers try to i.d. a woman who is fully covered with a very very fragile situation which the government doesn't want to provoke urban riots which would quickly spread like wildfire all over france. president mccord says he wants to reorganize islam in a bid to fight fundamentalism but some experts say that's a pipe dream radicalization in places like this they say it's already far too deep

rooted to dick out jollity bin ski r.t. trap. points in the u.s. city of boston are facing a barrage of criticism for their choice of person to honor during black history month they picked a white baseball coach who promoted black players. and around six thirty tonight p.p.d. post a tweet saying in honor of black history month we pay tribute to celtics legend red are back the first n.b.a. coach to draft a black player in one nine hundred sixty. below world your couldn't think of a single black person to honor can do you know missing the whole point of black history month what part of black history month don't you understand.

the. b.p.t. realizes that an earlier tweet may have offended some and we apologize for that our intentions were never to offend. the people of boston deserve an apology and now between that says may have offended some. people need to be understand that what has happened in this country with this group of people called african-americans as that they've made an impact on the world that's world history that we should be a part of and not just as victims but people who played a role that would make america more sly than to pretend that we're not here or that we should only be recognized one month and the year. all right we're going underground again in just

a minute with option and i'm back in thirty with the big news stories this thursday night keep it here at r.t. turn us. all to see we have a great team we need to strengthen before the freefall world cold and your bets have been a legend to keep it so i took a back. in one thousand nine hundred two that must qualify for the european championships at the very last moment no one believed in us but we won and i'm hoping to bring some of that waiting spirit to the r.c.c. . recently i've had a lot of practice so i can guarantee you that peter schmeichel will be on the best

secretary of state rex tillerson today in kuwait reportedly announces the end of reconstruction to iraq where one in five u.k. u.s. coalition air strikes allegedly resulted in a civilian death coming up in the show is moscow really going to kill thousands of british subjects is to raise a maze defense secretary suggest we ask the russian ambassador to the u.k. about his country's plans to use syria breaks it down trying to destroy british society plus i'll be talking about violence oxfam should george soros intervene in the parks it debate and the sensationalist new book about germany called it civil war coming up in today's going underground but first whatever you think of yesterday's court decision in london new light has been shed on the case against julian assange one of the usas most wanted whistleblowers or if you believe the boss of the cia an individual threatening the lives of three hundred twenty three million people it's time to call out wiki leaks for what it really is

a non-state hostile intelligence service often abetted by state actors like russia some might argue that isn't just publishing of cables has contributed to international security by revealing nato war crimes but that belief appears not to be shared by the british crown prosecution service which decides on court action in the name of the queen fighting discredited rape allegations astonished has not until this week been able to determine just how politicized his case is been because the c.p.s. allegedly destroyed information british prosecutors have reportedly admitted deleting e-mail exchanges with the swedish counterparts regarding the case of which . critics' founder julian assange is that this happened back in two thousand and fourteen but was it twenty fourteen now confidential e-mails show that swedish prosecutors attempted to drop extradition proceedings against julian assange as much earlier and who is the boss of the c.b.s. in twenty thirteen none other than jeremy corbin's current shadow bricks at

secretary here starmer here he is talking generally about his role in extradition one in a scientist case which seems more and more to be arguably political we don't use. these two functions a maritime discipline not for legal it comprehends says was his file. here's the official request here's the full monty we would like you to conduct the extradition proceedings on our behalf with. the police. but we can't use a republic in this. part of. the empty to see whether they would not prosecute this is really because when that man corbin's current shadow directorate secretary was in charge e-mails apparently showed that the country in question sweden was eager to drop the case later even discredited by the un not only that but a lawyer working for care stoma urged sweden don't you dare get cold feet and arguably even more damning for k.s.

garma it is simply amazing how much work this case is generating it sometimes seems like an industry please do not think this case is being dealt with as just another extradition assad would certainly maintain this was not just another extradition in fact for him this whole thing is a smokescreen for the usa to destroy we keep leaks because of war crime revelations to which side with iran lifelong critic of us foreign policy jeremy corbyn may have now promoted him but in twenty sixteen kids storm assault to destroy german corbin's leadership of the labor party he resigned advising that corbin could not lead an effective opposition today he has the complex job of shadow rex it. well here starmer also voted against an investigation into the iraq war in britain fifteen years ago tomorrow saw its biggest ever demonstration against that labor government mandated war widely seen as illegal against that u.k. decision with two prominent un security council member.
