traditionally where supposedly all russian military personnel were bombarded by u.s. forces muslim arab news agency a number of other american media including c.n.n. . new york times and washington post telling me don't publish materials claiming a lot of russian military personnel i quote died from the u.s. air strike and their allies or. reported two hundred casualties first hundred c.n.n. spoke of over one hundred casualties and the new york times. said dozens of the russian military personnel were killed interestingly i know if you even before with you know these reports the same claims were media by the government of the syrian militants which for some reason. the show from mars and then superimposed destroyed military hard with possibly even

a ukrainian from twenty fourteen. and the reports about the dozens and hundreds of for russian citizens being killed is classical example of the misinformation it's not four hundred not two kind of republican not one hundred them not that it was even sensible courting to preliminary forwards as a result of this clash and the reasons for which are currently being established five people were killed supposedly russian citizens through it that did what some were when did it but this house to be clarified especially over there is citizenship whether they were all russian citizens so i gave you their nationals of other countries once again i would like to emphasize we're not talking about russian military personnel here why do some circulate such rumors why do international terrorists do that it is obvious but why yes the us media and. to do

the same now it's also clear i would like to say that such attacks didn't happen from the u.s. side the u.s. has been accusing the rusher of meddling in internal affairs including presidential action for months now including through social media maybe by the way maybe the us administration should inform the us media and international media how many troops the had i mean iraq if you look at that. point of. view i think it's part of a private military company sent through other channels many people will be shocked by these numbers a look at yourself first before you start spreading misinformation about the russian federation and the other point i would like to mention and stress is not the presidential office and the defense ministry but provided necessary clarifications by. saying that no russian military personnel were in the

vicinity of the airstrike next a very important point. that i would like to point out. what is in conflict there is a large number of people from all the different parts of the world including russia and c.i.s. countries think the purpose of. their study in the conflict zone may be different including they may be involved in. it is as you probably understand when people go to conflict zones they don't apply for visas they get to the conflict zone through different ways including illegal ones. but so it's impossible to track all of them to establish who does what but yet at the same time of the defense ministry of the russian federation working together with other

government agencies has been following each of those incidents since one of our priorities is to protect the interests of russian citizens every russian citizen has a right to be protected by the russian state even if they violate russian laws so once again i would like to emphasize that we're talking about a conflict zone here a conflict zone with hostilities underway working in such an environment is nearly impossible for diplomats. such publications or we make our work even more difficult to get the couple more points about the situation in syria we noted their press release but technical search could terry of the old p c w. they launch of their investigation on the use of chemical weapons in syria because of sept reports coming from various sources about the possible incident of using

a poisonous substances in the province in january. that. they use open sources for this investigation questioning witnesses studying medical reports. that o.p.c. w. has obtained and some of us in other words this indicates that that probably we aren't witnessing. be. deficient practice so free moat a brick. investigations that once again we would like to say you can never believe people who have a hidden agenda like the syrian opposition and that's really it'd. be able to establish truth object will you have to collect evidence at this site all in the ground apart from that it would be impossible to establish whether chemical weapons have been used who used it in what way cording to information available to

us the. group. it is willing to let inspectors go to the areas the control on the homes highway. ensuring there is security in these locations were some see the syrian army used korean. so we really hope that p.c. w. inspectors will abandon their practice so for remote inspections then it will actual visit those places in the it look province and collect evidence first hand in what seems to be another provocation by the syrian opposition in conclusion. we also noted their recent statement. by the press office of the u.s. state department saying that the united states is in syria purely for two reasons

one to destroy these lambing state and two to stabilize the situation in the country i'd like to point out that earlier in just a few months ago. this was there was only one reason for u.s. troops to be present in the sovereign nation of syria namely to fight the islamic state now a few months later. they have really two reasons that instead of one that you can essentially. rasika we have a lot of questions about what the americans are doing in syria quite often they operate with the invitation of the official syrian government without any us. sanction of the un security council but it was their idea. in order to fight it seriously and russia has agreed to cooperate with the u.s. military since. they've always said that the only purpose of being

a series is to defeat high since they say this is their sole purpose of being there and now that these let me state the military and political component has been destroyed. the americans came up with another reason for being there they say they have to stay in syria or storage until the political process is firmly established in the including transition of power which means a regime change at the same time the americans are also playing the kurdish card pursuing their unilateral interests. seeking to undermine syria's territorial integrity. and we've pointed out that there is. a big gap between what they say and what they do now we would like to point out that there's a gap between what they say and what they say. and we have not seen any

obvious many clear answers to all the concerns that we have been voicing you know our meetings and publicly first meetings and then when we don't get in response we have to go public with them and in order to distract people from those gaps for us colleagues. quite often attack us and damascus with their proper. again just accusations sick using. violence killing civilians. because we're going to do part of it there that's maria's or her of the russian foreign ministry spokes person we were there for about twenty minutes we had a tip of she's going to talk about what was happening in syria the ministry says there are reports of hundreds of russian military contract as have been killed by u.s. led coalition strikes in syria were false that were listening out for not the start

of it we went through the whole of the diary for the coming months she went to stress that this information about only five russian deaths she said but their nationalities are still being confirmed were went on to say as well to warn the u.s. media to be careful with the facts and not spin fake news regarding russia in syria . other news today israel's justice minister says the country must do everything to protect its jewish majority majority even if it means violating human rights there is a place to maintain and jewish majority even at the price of violating rights israel is a jewish state it is in the state of all its judit is nations that is equal rights to all citizens but not equal national rights that remark came during a debate on the controversial jewish nation state bill which seeks to establish israel as an official state for jewish people it would also have an official anthem

and recognize jewish holy days such as the sabbath however a quarter of israel's population is not jewish meaning that over two million people could have their rights impeded if the bill passes one civil rights groups spoken out about the move saying that the israeli government considers democracy and human rights as obstacles political analyst michele barak says that there's little chance though that this legislation will actually get through i don't want to suppose something into the future based on a statement made by the justice minister of what could possibly be because it's not a law. the likelihood that it will become a law is very slim and she was condemned by many people for saying it i would rather focus on the fact that there's two million or a million and a half basically israeli arabs within a population of eight million people or so they are in the health care system like every other citizen they are given a free education by the state of israel they can attend universities their professors and universities their doctors anyone who's been in the news really

hospital has seen absolutely quality between jewish israeli doctors and arab israeli doctors jewish israeli patients and arab israeli patients so it's probably worth concentrating on what the situation is now and that trying to predict something that really doesn't seem likely. news next for you if you get your daily dose of world news from social media facebook's planning a revamp of how it presents it on its platform by introducing a ranking system of what it deems to be quality news we are for the first time in the history of facebook taken a step to try to define what quality news lukes like i think we should agree that now all news is created equal and this is a big step for us to begin thinking about according to the head of facebook news feed they will use three factors to determine quality namely location information and source however we spoke to one internet law expert who suspicious of how those

rules could be applied. it is a subjective issue did the most important thing of course is that people will know what criteria is being used they don't publish the critique they want their own people to learn in the middle eight. content so so the whole process is very highly secretive provided we know what. the criteria is then we can judge first answer whether it is right for facebook or for any other organization to remove content or not but as long as we don't know about it. it seems to me pretty much to terry and this old regime. french president some course to take another campaign pledge of the list of money micron's promising to bring back compulsory military service and his party has been busy trying to whip up support for it because we call it the national service because it's the place where the youth of our country and the nation meet one another where they get to know the military service on the

one hand and civil engagement on the other it's where one gives his time to the nation and to society. what about the age range it will cover all age ranges both boys and girls will take part in the service will be obligatory well polls three years ago suggested that eighty percent of people were in favor of the move and others to include a little more than a half share the debate scales people in paris what they thought. yes are you ready to serve your country yes i have even tried to get in the army. there are many ways to help your country and not on the army it's not all about taking a weapon in your hand. army training is definitely way stricter than the school curriculum but this experience

gave me a new perspective on things. as well i think military service is something good this creates unity around the country but servant should be optional. as the moment seems crazy hers they say it will be obligatory then they say not. the french national anthem at all. the. french military expert having a row told us he doesn't expect a cross plan to actually work out here. during campaign talking about three or six months is. because to teach basic. basic skills.

needs many three months is it's impossible to make something useful for. the french army. as there is a many high technical systems. for breaking news just heard it right from maria's a hair of the spokes person for the russian foreign ministry just to recap the last thirty minutes or so russia's foreign ministry saying that reports that. hundreds of russian military contract has been killed by u.s. led coalition strikes in syria is false she stressed this information about only fawy russian deaths the nationalities being confirmed she said and the others. we didn't know what the nationalities were in that number a. few with and some of the media stating some of us we do especially. this is all to international thinks what should my name is kevin o. in the headlines continue just three minutes from now.

we have a great team but we need to strengthen before the free world cold better than a legend to keep it so it's at the back. in one thousand nine hundred two that my part of fight 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 waving spirit to the r.c.c. . recently had a lot of practice so i can guarantee you that peter schmeichel will be on the best fall since my last will call. thousand zero zero zero zero zero.

zero zero zero zero zero left left left more or less ok stop that's really good. guys are financial survival guide. looking forward to your pension down. yanks this is what happens to pensions in britain. watched as a report. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the lawn they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or somehow want to be friends. that's it like to be for us this is what before us three in the morning can't be good that i'm interested always in the waters of our. question. in twenty forty you know bloody revolution of. the demonstrations going from being peaceful protests to be increasingly violent revolution is always spontaneous

or is it. spilling needle the president recalls the events of twenty four. those who took part in this today over five billion dollars to assist ukraine in these and other goals that will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic. at the. start. was i.

don't know. the. breaking news this hour russia's foreign minister admits some russian smoke being killed in syria by u.s. led forces but dismissed reports the army personnel calling it from a ship. one of the deadliest campus shootings in u.s. history seventeen people are dead and around it doesn't say high school in florida . into a. dead body there on the floor and blood on the floor. but if governments get accused of turning its back on interpret as to help the military in afghanistan coming up we speak exclusively to one whose asylum appeal is pending.

i. just turned four pm on and kevin are in france watching out international as you will have seen we brought you live coverage from the foreign ministry press spokesman about twenty minutes ago this breaking news that came out of russia's foreign ministry has admitted that some russian citizens may have been killed a week ago in syria after u.s. warplanes conducted that airstrike close to the city of days all over moscow denies they were service personnel that's the new line. and joins me now live you listen to cross. over speaking just now tell us bit more about what showed the so a bit more detail. like a woman was there however touched upon what is a very confusing story or situation there's a running in the media at the moment even the u.s. defense secretary james mattis is called it perplexing something that just doesn't make sense and sorry was hopes that maria's the however would touch upon the story today in her press briefing and of course she did although investigations are still

ongoing she noted there a bit better have been many reports in the mainstream media in recent days claiming that a lot of russian military personnel died in clashes in the syrian province of de errors or ranging from several dozens of people to even more than six hundred and this story was picked up by bloomberg the daily mail the new york times all with conflicting reports of course she called this a classic example of mis information she is that they did according to preliminary reports remember the investigations are still underway only five people were killed in those classes so significantly less than is being reported in these there in the mainstream media and she said that those were supposedly russian citizens the still no clarification on whether they were because they could have been from anywhere in the world and that's one of the points that she wants. to stress in this briefing that in conflict zones there are people from all over the world in that that illegally of course they don't go to apply for visas to go there so there's not no

no knowing exactly who is there and how many of them are there and that's something that the that the russian side is working on they would like to know exactly how many russian people are in those conflict zones more so for the their protection of course sees that this misinformation that's been circulating in the mainstream media you know it's something that's russia has seen before such attacks on russia have occurred or appeared in the mainstream media in the u.s. numerous times in the recent year or recent years should i say including most famously perhaps the accusations of russian meddling in the u.s. elections the two points that she really did want to stress she said in this press briefing was that no one russian military personnel were even in the vicinity when this attack took place and of course the point that in conflict zones there are people from all over the world so there's still no known exactly where those people

who died were from. for a long media conference was no but she got down to that within about ten minutes or i think you thanks for that for now. news overnight in from the states another school massacre in the united states this time at a high school in florida seventeen were killed and at least a dozen others reported injured video quickly emerged online which seems to be from one of the classrooms while the attack was underway it also contains some upsetting images here please be warned. i think you're right. as dr shots rang out inside the school of the city of parkland panic students was seen running to safety this video was taken while the government was still on the attack it's understood the killer set off a fire alarm to try to draw people out into the open to cause as many injuries as possible officers rapidly swarmed the campus before leading pupils and staff to

some safety. all the way lot to go through young pictures from the scene show the distress of the people touched by the tragedy here's how it all unfolded. he saw my dead body there on the floor and blood over on the floor how many people like five on the third floor. it looked like students there was one teacher and four students. so they do pull the fire drill we want to side boom boom boom boom. i doze firecrackers but after the last hour oh.

don't like to come in bringing a gun to shoot at school you like start taking your family i love you never know a biggish are killed. i want to start up i say this is catastrophic. and on the way to be catastrophic game broward county history it's devastating i'm sick to my stomach. is deadly shooting happened the marjorie stoneman douglas high school apartment ironically that very city was named the safest in florida last year and one of the safest in the u.s. this video next of the florida shooting suspect arriving at county jail police have identified the suspect as nicholas cruz a nineteen year old former student of the school who was expelled for disciplinary

reasons police said he was armed with a semiautomatic rifle and had multiple magazines the suspects been charged with seventeen counts of premeditated murder students at that school described the suspect as troubled the ones that knew him some even said he looked like a future school shooter and that he was a firearms enthusiastic his free time. is now believed that nicholas cruz had to instagram accounts which has since been deleted plenty of the pages apparently show him with weapons from a police officer dominic is no says the suspects mental health should be questioned here not simply gun control policies. this is an ultimate cry for attention and i'd like to see the media for the first time not look at this is a gun issue and to shy away from the anatomy object or or start start to look away from why or how these individuals are getting the guns and start looking at the intent behind it why are they doing this what's the mental health of this person what's their personal individual issue if there's one thing that we do know it's been proven time and time again that the gun itself does not do any damage but the

issue is the person behind it their intent their motives their means. the u.s. of course has a long history of school shootings there's been two hundred seventy five incidents since twenty thirteen that's an average of nearly one a week eighteen shootings have been reported in schools so far this year it is a look at some of the most serious of the last decade.

so over three hundred million guns is enough for every person in the united states to have a gun it's insane and you know we license cars you can't just get in a car and drive it but you can get a gun and shoot it you know need any training you don't need any licensing. and a lot of states now you can carry them. undercover legally there's a lot of nineteen is in this country about how guns make you safer. and they evidence is all to the contrary. the british government is again being accused of turning its back on interpreters who helped the military in afghanistan many of received death threats from the taliban and say they can't remain in their homeland speaks exclusively next to an afghan interpreter who's facing his final bid for asylum in the k. they only give me the notice for deportation they told me that you have to leave

the country so they're going to send me where. i will depend differently because of abdul barry was a front line in tapper separate british forces in afghanistan from two thousand and eight to two thousand and ten i know that if i joined the petition for was his to go it would be a great test for me but i have to do that because our country was. situation in our country was very bad so i have to help the international forces to protect other countries so they came to my country to protect us so why should i not hoping that working with u.k. troops made abdul it's hard get the local taliban forces that i was a phone call from my from my father and a letter put in my door saying we know that your son is working for the infidels so tell him to leave the job otherwise you will be slapped in the threats soon turned to violence when the taliban raided on my family beaten up my.
