in twenty forty you know bloody revolution to the demonstrations going from being relatively peaceful political protests to be increasingly violent revolution is always spontaneous or is it just the war here. is put video. spilling into the fall the ukrainian president recalls the events of twenty forty and. 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. elliston

is getting international recognition with the help of israel at least in the world of zoos i'm in bill fails to finish it like. this is my compass he is going to have to study all maybe. john does open. the only palestinians is who gets the most help from his jerusalem counterparts i don't think there's some of those who endure under the oak vision that not only could do this. and not fizzle off out that it's got this lady in the muscle that you had an identical t.v. in the doesn't seem to do more the most awesome companies often. make this manufactured sentenced to public wealth. when the running plus is protect themselves. with the final merry go

round. the one percent. we can all middle of the room sick. welcome back to dublin where i'm speaking to mary lou mcdonald then you'll be elected president of shared fame how does she find the key to taking shouldn't fame and to paula and the public of ireland. thirty years troubles twenty years of peace but of course. that process which some people believe is a fundamental danger to the peace process how do you evaluate. braggs is the good friday agreement are mutually incompatible you cannot have brags that you cannot have

a forcing of the north of ireland out of the european union on the one hand and still claim to honor in word and spares and lasher the good friday agreement is in our view a stark as the us and i listened to theresa may and i listened to others from the english tories saying. don't worry about the border in ireland ireland will be fine on the one hand and then insisting that britain will leave the customs union leave to single marcus and so on and of course the reality is that those two positions are completely at odds with each other i think the tories have played a very dangerous game no way can are in and are sure darren and or will argument be the collateral damage in the midst of all of that. the idea of reimposing a border on the island is not just economically disruptive it's potentially

jeopardizes the entire political infrastructure of the good friday agreement the executive itself in the north and the assembly the northern institutions are built are premised on the notion of european standards and regulations and law so this is a big problem for us bragg's this is a disaster in my view generally if i can offer that for you i respect absolutely the rights of other countries to make their own decisions i think greg's this is a mistake from an irish perspective. it's dangerous i think it is chris chu is the way in which the british government has disregarded us at by the way we have said this to mrs may so i'm i'm not saying anything as it were behind her back that we're not quite prepared to to put it to the british government but i wouldn't put you in the same category as some of our top it ministers that so i believe that

that's that's as i my perhaps more straightforward the breaking of the good friday agreement and letter of spirit is that the same thing as the ending of the peace process so the told him to the violence of the sort of the war is over and there is no purchase no sentiment at toll or told that i see that wishes for a return to any form of political violence. i think it would be a very very foolish person and a truly food dish government that would gamble or that would take the necessary risks with all of that i believe the peace process is robust. i believe that certain irish nationalism is growing income for the nz is very much at ease and happy with the general momentum and direction of political traffic i am conscious that some of our unionist brothers and sisters are perhaps not as

secure or happy with all of us but generally i think it's fair to say that there is no appetite for conflict so what of the other political consequences of bricks of this provision of course or from the peace accords for a referendum or my own under certain circumstances and i wish unity is it your opinion the blood makes such a referendum very likely or indeed inevitable at some stage i think it demonstrates very clearly just how vulnerable the north of ireland is in the within the union because let's face it the people in the north voted to stay and yet that could be totally disregarded and i know for roads a scenario where investment into our island the economic activity right across the island people born on the island of ireland. who take for granted the fact

that they can do simple things like travel throughout europe like europe is people's hinterland now people have grown up with the. access for education for work and so on but even genius politicians of advising people who get are you five words where precisely precisely because these are things that people value i wouldn't go so far as to say that it makes irish unity inevitable but i certainly think it underscores the common sense of the united are and the common sense of actually managing our own political affairs and not allowing other forces beyond you to actually overrule and overrides decisions democratic decisions made by the people i think it's sets that are very clearly and how closely do. the political developments another cope to wales scotland campaign by the welsh and scottish

first minister together to keep the nation's will from the contents of the single market do you see will from not development something that might provide or a different arrangement for the various communities of the soil the evidence so far is that in fact number ten cares very little for me of the devolved at ministrations think on any of these matters and i think it would be a good day's work for a little bit of humility to enter into the equation perhaps in terms of the tory government and to actually allow those voices and perspectives in and to listen and hear when scotland tells you wash scotland understands to be in her best interests what scotland needs to survive to thrive and to advance and likewise for the welsh i think it would be wiser for the british system to listen to us here's the distinction for us though the heavy lifting to protect our lives will have to be done by the government and. that's

a reality dublin will be at the table as an equal european partner when all of these matters are to be. negotiators and discussed and decided and we've said consistently to teach shock to the tarnish there that their responsibility and jews have care doesn't stop at dundalk that it goes into the north of ireland and that is we as a country and as an island have to understand our fortune in this regard is completely interlinked so a new leader shouldn't fear him when you look at the the strong influence the decisive position of the democratic unionist reformer one hundred full of m.p.'s might have a host of problems are you tempted to reverse the abstentions policy maker for you into the past westminster over the upset the apple cart no. i would not say that the d u p have what i what i would understand are considered to be a position of huge strength i think they they find themselves as

a particular moment in time with a particular mathematical as relationship don't get me wrong i think this confidence and supply arrangement between the tories and the day you pay is. is wrong i think it absolutely compromises the british government's claims to impartiality or independence i think is highly problematic from that point of view but i think it's a stretch to say that therefore the d u p are all dominating and that they hold all of the cards and actually when you talk to you notice in the north of art and there's a very clear sense you know governments in london will have a lot of unionist support and then dispense with us as and when it's pragmatic for them to do so so that's to me

a very short term arrangement what are you offering the people of the of the so for the all the parties let's just grow more conventional parties become tougher but the conventional parties the older parties have had it all their own way since the one nine hundred twenty s. really when you think about this it's been them the politics of tweedledum and tweedledee so the two big beasts of irish politics feel of all infinite go search to swap roles what do we offer well where we are a party that is not in the back pockets of any vested interests we've had a whole history in this jurisdiction of corruption of corrupted institutions and the consequential loss of confidence in public life and political life i think we can be in fact i think we are a new broom even though we're even sold as political party to to sweep some of the us clean we argue for investment in public services. and generation

a prosperity that isn't just about creating wealth we are in and that looks good statistically you know the rice and g.d.p. the right g.n.p. you know the race c.e.o.'s looking smart we talk about a prosperity that is lived and that is shared and how would you describe the politics of fame on the left right split aware of the left are very decidedly of the left and we are republican left so we're about freedom and we are about equality we believe that says as ins have rights we believe that it's the juicy of the station of good government to vindicate those rights what it shouldn't themes route to power the other parties the established parties a jew or police as you put it. we will deal with should famous been a historic position you know in a proportional system to get to power you probably have to have coalition allies

know it takes two to tango how are we going to get. the first thing we have to do is we have to get a sufficient mandate sometimes it amuses me and i hear politicians oh no we won't go we won't entertain you or we won't do this or nobody would be doing anything unless and until you have a sufficient mandates and until you win sufficient confidence of the irish people so the first thing we have to do is prepare for elections prepare a political platform and we need to go and win hearts and minds we need to convince people who may never have voted for sinn fein before that we are offering something new and hopeful and different and i believe that we can do that at the end of the day whenever the election is the votes are counted well then it's for other political parties to decide what position they will take but i would just warn them against being overly our reagan's are overly dismissive a few weeks ago you were celebrating the hundred fiftieth anniversary of the birth of of conscience markovitch if she was looking what advice we should be giving you

as the new president ocean for. i believe that she would say to me to stay true to stay strong to be flexible but not to settle for too little and above all a marquee event she was a woman who came from privilege but who was a lover of the poor not least of this city she would say stay true to the women and the man of now property stay true to our lands and you won't go too far on. well i'm not clear so i'm pleased to say i'm from scotland a small gift. this is a quick scots go it for top of typeless whiskey and a quick round of course firms only your close friends and of course one last thing has to be scotch well i can't promise that thank you so much they were both thank

you so much. fascinating stuff from dublin for years i have noticed and welcome the increasing influence of women in the political leadership of island and of scotland maybe limit all of my joins a growing list of women who have held leadership positions in the republic while currently northern ireland what the leaders of the ulster unionist anderson fein arlene foster and michelle neil i women this is the case in scotland when a question is first minister is opposed by this davidson as leader of the opposition conservatives in wales in westminster women leaders are heavily outnumbered with only pride come easily and would carling because of the greens and of course trees and me the prime minister however even more important than me to lose gender or to other political changes. really mcdonald is the first in finley's or not to be associated with the armed struggle this may well remove the political

ceiling which has previously districted their support in the republic secondly and this is equally important the election of this dublin born woman represents a move of leadership from the north of ireland to what may be termed an all ireland approach it could well be that after a full century since at last happened the next elections will see should find challenging for the leading position and irish politics both north and south the consequences for ireland and for island as a european nation would be far reaching. so until next week from all of us here in the studio and of course from alex and up like c.c. .

i think i think i used the most unusual moves but. this news it was taken from both of them which just. shows it. i. believe that some of it is just some awesome trauma i don't play i promise to dad to some odd time i'll see if. i i. i.

asked him hours in the coalition negotiation germany's two largest parties to provisionally agreed on a compromise that may yet fall through all of these difficulties a sign of something major going wrong in german politics the birthing pangs of the country's fourth brown coalition. it's not that it's just. cut. certain i want to do it just show me face with really be very clear right. away go to. management. and then on they they when they have to then they have.

to. skim you need to feel. something yeah i'm them what do you how much. do you. mind if. i want to be in the book that measures don't want to talk more negative. world. i'm just. shut up oh oh. oh.

yes it's. one of the deadliest campus shootings in u.s. history seventeen people are dead the other runs a dozen injured out of high school in florida we've spoken to a student who was in the school of the tragedy unfolded. just like gilbert. and almost like i don't know what. it's like so i just don't. want to be like the same after what. the u.s. secretary of state is meeting turkey's president as america begins to read in its rhetoric on the conflict between the kurds in syria. and american intelligence chiefs urged people to avoid chinese made. this by its u.s.

organizations. around the clock across the world this is r t international my names you know neil welcome to the program another must occur in the united states this time a high school in florida seventeen people have been killed on at least a dozen others are reported injured video emerged which seems to be from one of the classrooms while the attack was underway police be warned it contains up setting scenes. yeah shots rang out inside the school in the city of parkland panic students were seen running to safety this video was taken while the gunman was still on the

attack it's understood the killer set off a fire alarm to draw people into the open to cause as many injuries possible armed officers rapidly swarmed the campus before leading people to safety. these will be interesting when you complete. the if you wish we will be waiting we managed to speak to police elaine nick one of the students in the school at the time of the shooting in part on. her. like about to leave school suppose so and years before the bell rang so poster and . so i got to find a lot of and started so. but the school. and high because it's not a fire drill it was all grad and at first like everybody still thought it's going

to feel like they grew out of the they do in the schools but then we just there are the people second talking about life. is short you know like in the next village and. stuff i already got killed and this is serious. as i had all those still be on the floor like so nobody can see us and all that stuff like not to be on our phones and. they sent him like also when they realized it's for real and they would dislike it waiting example and they came until they told us like like thirty minutes later that all those like everything was clear around but like we're not going to let you out like right now because we still didn't break clear all this whole everybody was just trying to reach out of their friends and their family. were hurt and must harm i just like feel various kinds of loss because like i don't know what so really they were like

oh it's weird to like so stuff because like it's just never happened to me and i just don't think that going to school is going to be like the same up there with fun because i feel like knowledgeable claassen the building of the shooting was. yes pulling it was just speaking there we saw the scenes of the distress of those touched by the tragedy here's how the deadly incident unfolded. the somewhere around four and two i don't understand how many people like five on the third floor. took a look like students it was one teacher and four students. so to do call the fire drill we want to side boom boom boom boom where's gunshot i doze firecrackers but after the last hour i.

don't like could come in being like i'm going to shoot at school you like start taking a family i love you he never know i hear shot or killed. i want to shut up i said this is catastrophic. and on the way to be catastrophic again broward county history it's devastating i'm sick to my stomach. this is video of a florida shooting suspect arriving at a county jail police have identified the suspect as one nicholas cruz a nineteen year old former student of the school who was expelled for disciplinary reasons and some new details about the suspect have emerged linking him to

a white nationalist group police said he was armed with a semi automatic rifle and had multiple magazines well crews have been charged with seventeen kinds of premeditated murder students at the school described the suspect . it's been reported teachers were warned about him some time ago given his enthusiasm for firearms in his free time and the f.b.i. sees it how they investigated nicholas cruz for a due to comment on a documentary about the one thousand nine hundred sixty six texas university shooting it said quote i'm going to be a professional school shooter. the u.s. has a long history of school shootings there have been two hundred and seventy five incidents since twenty thirteen that's enough ridge of nearly one week eighteen shootings have been reported in school so far this year alone here's

a look at some of the most serious cases in the past 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 don't need any training you don't need any licensing. and

a lot of states now you can carry them. undercover illegally there's a lot of nineteen is in this country about how guns make you safer. and they evidence is all to the contrary. living on the u.s. secretary of state is set to finish his relations building two or of the middle east in turkey rex tillerson has arrived there for a much anticipated meeting following a souring he's with uncrowded the two nato allies have been at all odds over kurdish forces in syria but washington's rhetoric seems to be contradicting itself r t s q r block and has been following developments. in the lead up to tillerson xah visit we heard a number of words from u.s. officials indicating support for the turkish government which is a member of nato and saying that their security concerns are legitimate this is

what we've heard from u.s. leaders nato has only one nation and one of our allies. and insurgent inside its own borders and nato and america stand with turkey wanted to make sure curity concerns we have never given heavy arms to the wacky jews so there's no one to take back the turkish military is in syria fighting against kurdish forces kurdish forces that have been armed by the united states now it turns out a number of the forces in the ass decaff have actually relocated they've essentially gone to a wall from their position elsewhere in the country and gone to northern syria to fight against the turkish military turkey is demanding that kurdish forces be expelled from the anti islamic state fighting force led by the united states in syria however in the past we've heard u.s. leaders quite adamant about their support for the kurds the coalition's more can join with the syrian democratic food system stop motion train the new syrian border

security force approximates two hundred individuals training in the b.s.f. sanogo quotes with the goal of a final four sons of approximate thirty thousand now the turkish government considers these kurdish forces operating in syria to be terrorists and feels quite threatened by them and has been a long outspoken in demanding that the united states and its support for these forces this is what we've heard from the turkish president. but why you still here why do these weapons still arrive america is in the process of creating a terror army do not encroach on our borders do not provoke we will run out of patience tillerson has arrived in turkey and he'll be going to an embassy a u.s. embassy in turkey that is on a street that's actually named for the military operation against those kurdish forces armed by the united states operation.
