i. three people were killed and sixteen. in a supermarket in the south of france a terrorist is a potentially shot dead by leaps. over russia as the british prime minister counterparts over the poisoning of a former spy. for punishment and some others. is the way forward. for violence ahead of the country's game against the netherlands later friday.

evening ten pm friday here in moscow when i was kevin zero in thanks to using r.t. international and first tonight three people were killed in southern france after a gunman hijacked a car before taking hostages at the supermarket the attacker had pledged allegiance to islamic state and was eventually shot dead by special forces officers president mccrone called the instant a terror attack by islamist. that would be our country today suffered an islam is terrorist attack in caucus on and treb terrorist has been identified he was killed during his so an investigation will have to answer some important questions on this when and how was he radicalized and how and when did he procure the weapon the attack was claimed by the islamic state group and these claims are being assessed we have a several years paid without blood to know the terrorist menace. the interior

ministry says the gunman stopped a car on the outskirts of the turn of custer on friday morning shooting dead one passenger and seriously injuring the driver he then drove to the nearby town of treb where he stormed a supermarket immediately opened fire killing two people is one witnesses account. the movie i went shopping with my wife and sister in law after some time we had an explosion well several. i saw a man lying on the floor in another person who was very agitated with a handgun in one hand and a knife in the other yelling allahu akbar. after that i took my wife and my sister in law and some customers nearby and were going to look for shelter i put them in a butcher's fridge closed from the inside. i turned around and walked towards the man and called the police i told them what was going on and described. more details have been emerging about this series of attacks in the south of france which

cumulated in a hostage taking situation of around four hours in the town of tire some confirmation now about who the attacker was the interior minister saying it's a twenty six year old they do one locked him who is a french. national who is known for petty theft and some small drug crimes but he was under police surveillance we understand however there was no suggestion the interior minister said that he had been radicalized and in fact it's been claimed that the action that happened on friday in france was completely unexpected and what's also been emerging is more detail about what happened inside that hostage situation inside the supermarket in that small town of twelve we understand that when gunfire was first heard some of the supermarket employees tried to get some of the customers out of the shop there were apparently

around fifty there when not going to fire was first heard some were able to make it to safety others then of course became the hostages hundreds of police descended on the town to try and remedy this situation police first of all trying. to negotiate with the twenty six year old hostage taker apparently he had said that this was vengeance for what has happened in syria and he also made demands such as the release of one of the men accused of carrying out the paris attack in two thousand and fifteen well one hundred and thirty people were killed now we also have been hearing about some of the her oh isn't that took place today with one of the gendarme offering to swap himself for one of the hostages when he did so he took a mobile phone with him and we understand he kept that line open and when the police officers heard more gunfire from inside the shop they then stormed

it and at that point killed the hostage taker former british intelligence officer and the fact the gunman was under police surveillance exposes a failure of the foreign law enforcement. part of the passing that we're seeing emerging across europe over the last few years of people carrying out these low tech type of attacks with high. grades who are of course on the radar of at least the police if not indeed of the intelligence agencies but for some reason they're not being watched carefully enough they're not being monitored carefully enough they're being followed around. and they're allowed to get more radicalized and carry out these are appalling deeds but so to see what more fronts can do i mean they had a state of emergency declared after the massacre and attacks all the powers are still there in france they just change the name they change the terminology and yet all those powers are still preventing the security agencies and police from protecting their french citizens so i fail to see how much more they can do. this

is the first act of terrorism in france as president micron lifted the country's almost two years state of emergency last november it was put in place by its predecessor after a string of terror attacks the deadliest was in the one between the fifteen in which i still inspired terrorists killed one hundred thirty in paris. cut.

next tonight moscow's expelled twenty three british diplomats relations between the u.k. and russia continue to deteriorate over the poisoning of a former spy and his daughter in southern england the officials left the embassy compound earlier friday them the expulsion there is a step taken by the u.k. last week it came as a new leaders met for a second day of summit talks which saw the british prime minister pushing for jolt spray on march the fourth on script paul and his daughter said now treason maybe u.k. prime minister has expressed so let our train take further action against russia here's what she had to say i welcome the fact that last night the european union council agreed with the u.k. government's assessment of the attempted murder that took place on the streets of

seoul sprit but it's highly likely that russia was responsible for that attempted murder i think it is clear that russia is challenging the values we share as europeans and it is right that we are standing to get together in defense of those values of course of the leaders were present to you including chancellor. angela merkel and french president mccall and now they both say france and germany agree that additional measures against russia will be necessary also speaking at the summit with donald tusk president of the european council for human kind of president of the commission they say states have different approaches to russia and some want an open channel for discussions with. we have different positions different. interests it's also about you know the different traditions. political landscape in europe to us russia and this is why it's not so easy to keep the.

twenty eight. group. together should wait also for some. of the results of the investigation so everyone was also indicate didn't do willingness to give a group as far as russia is concerned. relations so it's kind of terry's amaze expecting movie unifying response from the with the e.u. say that they're willing for more open dialogue with moscow now they have taken one step and now the withdrawal out its ambassador from moscow a full consultation is a bad period just their mind a bit of background information about the case and second skin problems in stores that were discovered on a bench in the cathedral city of sold me almost three weeks ago now and for the march down setscrew paul is a former military officer who was jailed in russia for handing out secrets to british intelligence but moved to the u.k.

in the high school in two thousand and ten british police expect the investigations take months but politicians have been like quick to try and pinpoint blame and one thing is clear they from the press conference now sweeping getting mixed messages say perhaps more sanctions are on the way or we could see the east eighth having more of an open dialogue with moscow at least three reporting well that's the million dollar question is in the jungle and watching on from burma and i john thanks below for the program or what i thought we've got. the european council president saying the other going to show a clear message a united methods to russia and well it's going to be yet on the other hand we've got him saying that he kind of want to make peace is going to be dialogue which way is it going to go. well the way should go is george or not war war. clearly what needs to happen is a dialogue and clearly we did you know russia is demanding the evidence and i think maybe some european leaders are asking trees in my about that as well but let's not

forget the context this is happening in trees i'm a i am the you have a joint and vision here which is to get the brakes it negotiations firmly back on on track and i think that's the most important thing however. i believe in british justice and normally we believe in innocent until proven guilty and i think we need more evidence will russia still say nothing to do with it give us some of this nerve agent you apparently have it will take a look at it we'll talk through with you where this may have come from except for exactly why we want to help it's still not forthcoming is it will it be. well i don't think so nobody should do because then we can have a proper dialogue and if it is found that there is indeed has come from russia are the by lapses in security or indeed if a state sponsored terrorism as some people say or quite a few people are saying then that needs to be dealt with but it seems to me that

the standoff is wrong and sure reason why i was listening to her language there she isn't saying it's definitely russia and in a sense still hedging slow and moderate than say boris johnson who's basically accused the russians and of l'avenir putin has been as bad as that office which i think is a bit wide of the mark could be a shoe will be you wide retaliation against russia proved to be a divisive one i within the ranks there behind closed doors do you think there is division always difficult to know what's really going on yeah. but it is difficult to know but i think the problem is i don't think there is a united front on this because i think they would have come out with a much clearer statement much quicker i think they are thinking about it they know and some of those european states rely on russia more than others i mean we do we need to have a relationship with russia which is why i don't really understand why our prime minister is up an e.m.t. i do understand that a policeman was injured i do understand he's now come out of hospital and i do

understand to russian citizens look like they've been where they have been attacked on u.k. saw that needs to be sorted out but we need to be clear on this before we go down the route we're going to have a moment and i would guess many european leaders are thinking hang on before i jump on this bandwagon i do need more proof i do need more evidence than what really hurt to let the russians see the sample i don't understand that are really. the meantime recalled its ambassador from moscow it says for consul tell you how but i wonder if it suggests a more significant moves are being lined up to be implemented very smooth. well maybe but if that was the case when they just pull the ambassador out completely why is it is halfway house again that suggests to me that they haven't made a complete agreement on this yet and truism a hasn't goble she wanted i mean for example if the whole of the use that they were not going to attend the world cup if

it was held in russia that would be a very very powerful weapon i don't really see an appetite for that i don't even see an appetite for that here in our parliament in the united kingdom a few hotheads are asking for it boris johnson kind of wound that one up as well but i say one thing twenty three thousand england fans who want to come and indeed the majority of people in the country who love their football do not want to see the england team pulled out of the world cup let's get some jaw jaw let's get some talk around the table and let's move this forward john gaunt broadcaster a journalist of milan of burning in france your thoughts like not international. troops point is third national security advisor it is the washington veteran and former u.s. ambassador to the u.n. john bolton and who's known for his hawkish stance on both north korea and iran.

her. secretariat building in new york has thirty eight stories if you lost ten stories today it would make a bit of difference. the russians have walked all over the obama administration for eight years it's really been a pathetic performance if you make them feel pain and others feel pain then the possibility of deterring future conduct like this increases that's what we need to do. the caliphate that isis is now holds king abdullah of jordan who is not simply the muslim king of

a muslim country unlike our president. so the point was made on twitter in typical trump style they go president also made use of the social media platform early this month to when he fired his secretary state rex tillerson column open next takes a look at the latest a rival for washington's revolving door. he is the third national security advisor to the donald trump administration in the last fourteen months and john

bolton is a long time advocate of the use of force against iran and against north korea now those are two countries that are rather vital for the trumpet ministration in the coming months in may donald trump will have to weigh in on the iran deal whether or not it will continue and furthermore the usa is on the verge of carrying out the historic meeting the first meeting between a head of state of the usa and the leader of the democratic people's republic of korea so at this point a lot of questions remain so the fact that john bolton has been selected is rather interesting i think they want to make peace i think it's time so it could be a long and unproductive meeting or it could be a short non productive meeting we hope that these new measures directed at the iranian dictatorship will compel the government to really evaluate its pursuit of terror at the expense of its people well i think he's on the verge of making a mistake i think his advisors are pushing him in the wrong direction you know

honestly the certification question is utterly irrelevant john bolton served as the u.s. ambassador to the united nations under the administration of george w. bush and his appointment was quite controversial at that time for statements he had made harshly criticizing the united nations can trail donald trump was quite critical of military intervention isn't by the united states saying that he wanted to stop toppling regimes however john bolton is a long time advocate for military interventions around the world so big developments on the horizon regarding iran and north korea i was just a job old school particularly known for his love for russia but his appearance in the russian government because he video five years ago ready has made some american media speculate about a possible connections to russia. where the russian national government to grant a broader right to bear arms to its people it would be creating a partnership with its citizens that would better awhile for the protection of mothers children and families without in any way compromising the integrity of the

russian state this has been one of the most in same. baseless. theatres of the absurd that we've ever seen you know normally when somebody pursues something and it's not working they will say you know what let's go to a different theory the collusion thing isn't working we have no evidence of it but let's just find something else not here oh no it is builds up steam it builds up force this is this is still going on we're still trying to find out to this day how somebody wait a minute correction i think we finally we found out that russia and or the kremlin and or you and or putin and or somebody changed the course of the american election

by sowing discord by buying facebook ads that's the collusion so might be this adds to it nothing is too absurd for this theater of the absurd. the british minister of defense has been caught up in the scandal surrounding cambridge analytic and now the company accused of collecting personal data from millions of facebook members and an exploding of political goals it's been revealed that the ministry paid cambridge a parent company as c l group for what's been described as human and social influence work on top of that the firm was reportedly granted access to secret documents of the government it also is said to have current research to see how people would interact with government messaging bullyboy because in the u.k. and takes up the story. cambridge on a ticket is seemingly everywhere apart from helping the campaign to victory by using information harvested from millions of facebook profiles it turns out the

company's services have been used by the british government to cambridge on the parent company is called the f c l group the whistleblower who on earth the facebook data breach calls the two entities as c.l. and cambridge on the one in the same s.c.l. used to be on the payroll of the british defense ministry thanks to a freedom of information request from twenty six d. we know that in two thousand and eleven the energy paid for the provision of external training and in twenty fifteen it paid us for psychosocial research to top it all off s.c.l. got the green light to hold british government secrets on its premises britain's information commissioner's already investigating cambridge analytic over the facebook data breach but in light of the defense contracts with its parent company as c l the chair of britain's home affairs select committee is now demanding

a why did government investigation into the company's activities there are now growing concerns about whether there should be a wider investigation into the uk to reduce there are concerns about the implications for democracy about information being used in an illegitimate way and no one has the chance to counteract it and the trees its real problems outside of the u.k.'s c l's and cambridge analytic his client list reads like a who's who of contentious elections and political hot spots cambridge analytical was hired by kenya's ruling party ahead of its elections last year the company is accused of stoking ethnic tensions and manipulating voters online prejudices to help kenya's leaders stay in power the company's also accused of orchestrating political. ration zone their clients political rivals and circulating the evidence online among s.c.l. is clients was ukraine it was hired by the kiev government to help recapture the

self-proclaimed republic of donetsk. was contracted to deliver a data driven strategy for the ukrainian government in pursuit of their goal to win back control of donetsk findings replied to designed localized communications campaigns to erode and weaken the jeannette's people's republic this particular campaign didn't bear much fruit for the ukrainian government the website reveals yet another tied to the british government the ukraine report it says was delivered to kiev and shared with the u.k.'s ministry of defense i don't really believe the ministry of defense should be involved in a company one arm of which at least is engaged in a series of campaigns around the world of propaganda and manipulation apparently and political interference secondly i don't really see why the ministry of defense is in any case spending huge amounts of money. on

a propaganda work and finally the question of secrecy i mean apparently this company was given access to top secret information and this seems to me to be an extremely. worrying revelation it's likely that the next chapter in the cambridge analytical scandal won't be its links to facebook but to governments around the world including the u.k. the british ministry of defense the foot most to this is a reacted to the story saying it has no relationship with this group and that the company has no access to classified information. england football supporters of course chaos in amsterdam tonight had a friday night's friendly against the netherlands police arrested a total of twenty eight people for public order offenses across two days. the was it

a it was i was video emerged showing in lieu of supporters chanting slogans and hurling beer bottles from bridges of boats one man threw a bicycle into the canal while another was seen taking off a shirt and diving in head first there was sort of condemnation of the england fans online one man wrote how he'd love to take his son to watch england but that won't happen because he says we have a zero class another says supporters just keep embarrassing themselves head of this summer's world cup in russia which often gets criticism of course for football hooliganism england manager gary southgate told a news conference earlier that english football has to sort out its own problem too so we keep pointing the finger at russia. where we're going to be guests in the next couple of months but we haven't resolved the issue in our own country and until we do i think we should stop far enough off those things elsewhere to put into r.t.

football host stan collymore he says checks are in place to make sure the troublemakers are kept away from the world cup. you know. what how can i. follow up on i do you have to buy i think you. could be a trouble to be official in group support group of which for course. russia. were very very wealthy how you know the programming even the. sort of something going. on in the european championships in two thousand and sixteen. if you are going through a. much smaller scale growth across all uncrumpled. one be quite weak and that's where the problems like ten twenty seven

in the evening this friday moscow time thanks for watching reveal children around the world it's kevin zero in saying i'm back with more in thirty three minutes than keeping contact with the news twenty four seven wherever you. go. the far right britain isn't just on the march it's taking violent. action. i see these organizations which are usually split into which we take different names how do you view that. complex web of british fashion.
