a car on the outskirts of the so on friday morning shooting dead one passenger and sees lee injuring another drive a van the drove to the nearby town of thread where he stormed a supermarket and opened fire killing two is one eyewitness account. pleasure 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 and another person who was very agitated on 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 we're going to look for shelter i put them in a butcher's fridge closed from the inside and 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
5:03 pm
a twenty six year old head to one left him who is a french. national who is known for petty theft and some small drug elise 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 treb 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
5:04 pm
situation police first of all try 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'd also made demands such as the relieved. 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 isn't that took place today was one of the 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 for british intelligence or. the fact that the gunman was under police surveillance at the time exposes a failure of the foreign law enforcement. part of the passing that we're seeing
5:05 pm
emerging across europe over the last few years of people carrying out these low tech type of attacks with high. rates 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 it's hard 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've just changed the name they've changed 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 for the first act of terrorism in from since president mccraw lifted the country's almost two year state of emergency last november it was put in place post predecessor of a string of terror attacks the deadliest was
5:07 pm
developing story tonight thank you for both funds cause chaos in amsterdam had a friendly against the netherlands which is now ongoing police arrested a total of twenty eight people for public order offenses. videos emerged showing injured supporters hurling beer bottles from bridges or boats through a bicycle into a canal another was seen taken off the shirt and diving in head first it was sort of condemnation of the england fans on life one man wrote he'd love to take his son to watch england but says that won't happen because quote we have zero class another says supporters just keep embarrassing themselves at this summer's world cup here in russia a country which often gets criticism for football hooliganism england manager gareth southgate told a news conference earlier that english football has to sort out its own problems
5:08 pm
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 r.t. football host i'm colleen moore says checks are in place to make sure the troublemakers are kept away from the world cup. her. you know. what helped a lot of fun i. guess but i do you have to buy i think you what you ask for from the troubles will be official in group support globe which for course so what fun for all grain in russia after my throne. for a very very wealthy how you have now down the problem in even the slum going on in particular we saw this with something going on in iran in the european
5:09 pm
championships in two thousand and sixteen. if you are going through the politics where the football match. school groups across all or burgling uncrumpled who wants one be quiet and that's what the problem like donald trump's appointed is the national security adviser it's the washington veteran and former u.s. ambassador to the u.n. john bolton who's known for his hawkish stance than on both north korea and iran. secretary building in new york has thirty eight stories if you.
5:10 pm
actions have walked all over the obama administration for eight years it's really been a static performance if you make them feel pain and others feel pain than the possibility of deterring future conduct like this in place if that's what we need to do. the caliphate devices now hold king abdullah of jordan was not simply a muslim king of a muslim country unlike our president i.
5:11 pm
meant what it was made was made on twitter in typical trump style the president also of course made use of that particular social media platform earlier this month when he fired his secretary of state rex tillerson and in new york takes a look next at the latest arrivals for washington's revolving doors of late. 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
5:12 pm
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 and unproductive meeting we hope that these new measures directed at the arena of dictatorship will compel the government to re-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 are destroyed 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
5:13 pm
a long time advocate for military interventions around the world so big developments on the horizon regarding iran and north korea now of course when a new york city there was just a john bolton is not particularly known for his love of russia but his appearance in a russian gun because he video five years ago already has some american media speculating about possible connections to moscow the. 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 allow 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 insane baseless. theaters of the absurd that we've ever seed you know normally when somebody pursues something and it's not working they will say you
5:14 pm
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 can 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 maybe this ad still that nothing is too absurd for this theater of the absurd the with the better earlier in britain the british defense ministry has been caught up in the scandal surrounding cambridge analytic or the company accused of collecting personal data from millions of facebook users and then exploiting it for political goals it's
5:15 pm
been revealed now that the ministry paid cambridge analytical parent company s c l group for what's been described as quote human and social influence work on top of that the firm was reportedly granted access to secret government documents it's also said to have carried out research to see how people would interact with certain government messaging part of our team in the u.k. picks 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.e.o. and cambridge on the one in the say 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.
5:16 pm
we know that in two thousand and eleven the energy paid to s.c.l. for the provision of external training and in twenty fifteen it paid for psycho social research to top it all off s.c.l. got the green light to hold british government secrets on its premise 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 to reduce there are concerns about the implications for democracy about information being used in a way no one has the chance to counteract it and the traces real problems outside of the u.k.'s c l's and cambridge analytic his client list reads like
5:17 pm
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. contract 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
5:18 pm
yet another time 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
5:19 pm
world including the u.k.'s. as footnote to this the british defense ministry has reacted to the story saying it has currently no relationship with the s c l group and that the company has no access to classified information. russia's expel twenty three british diplomats as relations continue to sour over the poisoning of a former spy and his daughter in southern england the officials left the embassy compound earlier on friday the expulsion marrows a step taken by the u.k. last week then it came as the e.u. leaders met for a second day of summit talks which saw the british prime minister pushing for joint retaliatory action against russia they've expressed solidarity with britain and recalled the e.u. ambassador from moscow for consultation while still considering further measures against russia but it seems not all member states are united in taking direct action against moscow right now. we have different positions different.
5:20 pm
interests it's also about a lot of different traditions. political landscape in europe towards russia and this is why it starts so easy to keep that. twenty eight. group. together that should wait also for the some. results of the investigation so everyone was also indicating do willingness to do follow as far as russia is concerned. the british prime minister said she was happy with the joint condemnation of russia. 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 solsbury that it's highly likely that russia was responsible for that attempted
5:21 pm
murder and i think it is clear that russia is challenging the values we share with europeans and it is right that we are standing to get together in defense of those values so yes cripple his daughter found on a bench in salzburg on the fourth of march after being poisoned by a nerve agent scruples of former military officer who was jailed in russia for handing secrets to british intelligence he moved to the u.k. in a spy swap in twenty ten british police expect their prototype months politicians have been rushing to blame it on the less political strategist anthony webber believes the u.k. government is wasting valuable time over the scandal. i don't think. that's all the wider issue is why the trees of mary is wasting this by the will time but the e.u. are on this destruction when she should be leaving the best deal for britain from the e.u. so there's a great deal of concern about what watered seen as a betrayal of british interests with the brits to go showy sions we have to look at
5:22 pm
it in the whose interests is it for these accusations to be made against russia if it's would be of no benefit to russia whatsoever to do what their alleged dog and so does it benefit somebody else and this is where we need to put our miss marple hats on and ask a lot of questions and get the answers we need to have the full facts investigate. more than one hundred thousand people have no managed to escape syria's war ravaged eastern ghouta region this month and with government forces pushing to recapture the remaining rebel pockets that the russian defense ministry struck a deal to evacuate some of the militants and their families you could draw pictures to show here captured by a ruptly video agency you can see the buses believed to be carrying insurgents and their families preparing to leave eastern guta as part of the agreement in exchange for this surrender they'll be allowed to travel to the rebel held city of it lived in the country's north on thursday around four hundred militants left along with

incident on the money and says he spoke to sonny lewis from a movement. they don't take any black light because we are collateral damage we've always been when it comes to this race history at the end of the day the motive has always been a lack of value for black life or black bodies and so it's easy to shoot first ask questions later sort things out after the facts come up with near teen idols that don't fit what actually was taking place during the time of the incident so when you come out with the story and say yes he had a good or at the in the next story was he had a tool bar or crow bar then the next story was he had a bridge to find out that he was shot with a cell phone in his hand we want to see those officers prosecuted for their decision to shoot their guns twenty shots we could no longer live with and be satisfied with officers being sought or given slaps on the wrist for murdering people in our unit. that just some of the big world news stories happening around
