just one am here in moscow for a good morning for me kevin zero in thanks for choosing r.t. international first then in this latest live news update three people have been killed in southern france earlier after a gunman hijacked a car before taking hostages at a supermarket the attacker had pledged allegiance to islamic state and was eventually shot dead by special forces officers president mccrone called the incident an act of terrorism that would be our country today suffered an islamist terrorist attack in caucus on treb the terrorist has been identified he was killed during his so an investigation will have to answer some important question on this when and how was he radicalized and how and when did he procure the weapon the attack was claimed by islamic state group and these claims are being assessed like we have for several years paid with our blood to know the terrorist menace. let's get

a handle on how the interior ministry says the gunman stopped his car on the outskirts of the town called saw on the summit on friday morning as to morning shooting dead one passenger and seriously injuring the driver he later opened fire on a group of policemen or jogging wounding one of them in the shoulder the government then drove to the nearby town of three where he stormed a supermarket and killed two people and eyewitness described what he saw. the movie i went to shopping with my wife and sister in law after some time we had an explosion as well as 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. 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 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 some confirmation now about who the attacker was the interior minister saying it's a twenty six year old if they do one locked him who is a french. national who is known for petty theft and some small drug crimes 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 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 told. from a demand 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 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 a former british intelligence officer told us the fight for government was on the police surveillance at the time exposes them for failure in law enforcement. is part of the passing that we're seeing emerging across europe over the last few years of people who are 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 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 police from protecting their french citizens so i fail to see how much more they can do the

bigger picture to this this is the first act of terrorism in france since president lifted the country's almost two years state of emergency last november it was put in place post predecessor after a string of attacks the deadliest was in november twenty fifth in which are still inspired terrorists killed one hundred thirty in paris.

thanks england football fans are celebrating a one nil victory over the netherlands but the run up to the friendly much in amsterdam was marred by fun violence with twenty eight england supporters arrested . snapshot of it their videos emerged showing england supporters hurling beer bottles from bridges at both one month road bike into a canal another scene taking off his shirt and diving in head first grave in this weather what are you look at it this video shot later on police can be seen attending an injured fan on the street he was later taken away in an ambulance partly there's been

a heavy police presence of amsterdam throughout the evening and there was swift condemnation of the england fans on line one man wrote how he'd love to take his sudden to washington but that won't happen because he says we have a zero class another says supporters just keep embarrassing themselves out of this summer's world cup here in russia russia of course a country which often gets accused of football hooliganism a good manager got a south gate told a news conference earlier that english football has to sort out its own problems with it. 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 far enough those things elsewhere a full host on collymore says checks are in place to make sure the trouble makers are kept away from the forthcoming world cup. to moscow to get in close to have a final idea. when i do you have to buy a ticket by thinking you have to. travel to be official england support us globe

or course. but england's on. russia only estimates around ten thousand we'll bring you well the high five now doubt the problem me even the sunken zone in particular we saw this week in england planning. on the european championships in two thousand and sixteen. if you are going from the politics with much knowledge still got to go souls or burning in trouble on trying to be quite and that's what a cauldron like. the stakes donald trump's appointed his third national security adviser at the washington veteran and former u.s. ambassador to the u.n. john bolton he's known for his whole case stands on both north korea and iran.

secretary building in new york has thirty eight stories if you log ten stories today it wouldn't make a 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 holds king abdullah of jordan who is not simply a muslim can have a muslim country unlike our president i.

believe it was made on twitter at the end in typical trump style the president also made use of course of the same social media platform just earlier this month when he fired his secretary of state rex tillerson next from new york city khaled mopin takes a look at the latest arrivals through washington's revolving doors. 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 and unproductive meeting we hope that these new measures directed at the arabian 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 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. side from north korea in the run john bolton's also made some highly aggressive monks of moscow in the past he's described alleged kremlin meddling in american politics as an act of war but his appearance in a rush shouldn't go because he video just five years ago is not many people confused about his actual views. 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 sane 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 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 long way with me earlier and right ahead here the british government is facing some awkward questions right now over the facebook data mining sky and later when we come back. it's.

a lot of countries in europe to understand that russia is and take a part of europe and you cannot think about a prosperous europe and developing europe for if you if you don't see russia being involved in the european process. russia's royce. has to be taken into account and so on and so forth. again the british ministry of defense has been caught up in the scandal surrounding cambridge analytic the company accused of collecting personal data from millions of facebook users and then exploiting it for political goals it's been revealed that

the ministry paid cambridge analytic his parent company the s.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 government documents it also is 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.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 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 s.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 an illegitimate way and 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

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 client's political rivals and circulating the evidence online among a seal's clients was ukraine it was hired by the kiev government to help recapture the self-proclaimed republic of donetsk. yes seal was contracted to deliver a data driven strategy for the ukrainian government in pursuit of their goal to win back control of donetsk our 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 tie 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 in gage's in a series of campaigns around the world of propaganda 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. the kind of propaganda work and finally the question of secrecy i mean that 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. . as a footnote the british minister of defense has reacted to the story saying it's no current relationship with the s c l group and that the company has no access to classified information. although one hundred thousand people have now managed to escape syria's war ravaged eastern ghouta region this month from the government forces pushing to recapture the remaining rebel pockets the the russian defense ministry is no struck a deal to evacuate some of the militants and their families drawn pictures here from a video agency to show you you can see the buses that are carrying with think the insurgents and their families inside. pairing to leave eastern guta as part of the agreement in exchange for their surrender they'll be allowed to travel to the rebel held city of idlib in the country's north on thursday around four hundred militants left along with fifteen hundred family members r.t. arabic our sister channel meantime has been speaking to some of the civilians who have been able to leave the area as bashar al assad's troops continue to regain

territory better sometimes we suffered a lot thanks to syrian army's efforts we were set free he was alone and i thought it was i want to see to my wife and my son that i was set free i think i am safe and sound i hope you will meet soon i have been missing that a lot. of protests have been growing in the us city of sacramento after the release of body cam video showing the moment a police officer fatally shot an unarmed black man in his grandparents' backyard the incident happened last sunday when officers responded to a suspect breaking car windows in the area police say they mistook the man's smartphone for a weapon and shot him twenty times. when one was under some emergency. i got a guy in a back yard. go. to

try to catch up. let's get him a couple times of that before we. you are going to have to. you're.

the victim is stephan clark a twenty two year old he leaves behind two children both under the age of three his brother described as an entrepreneur looking at the bigger figures more than eleven hundred people were killed in twenty seventeen by us police it was reported that throughout the whole year in fact only fourteen days when without a fatal incident in response to the woman just talking about sacramento police have placed the officers involved in the fatal shooting on paid administrative leave now . case is outraged locals led money justice demonstrations took place at city hall and sacramento kings basketball arena also a major highway was born during rush hour the blight lives much of movements calling the incident that demanding and says we spoke to sonya lewis from the movement. don't take a black life because we are collateral damage we've always been when it comes to

this kind of grease 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 meriting evidence 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 a crow bar then the next story was he had a branch 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 fired or given slaps on the wrist for murdering people in our community. it's one twenty five in the morning here in moscow kevin though and here delighted to have you company thanks for it may be catch again tomorrow depending where you watching. international in america programs coming up

either way a good day night. thirty three. i thought. three or. one of the greatest. but there was one more question and by the way who's going to be our coach. he's

a huge star. you have to be the center of the. great. you are the rock at the back. we need you to. go. alone. and i'm really happy for. the special. edition. fifteen years ago this month the united states in its so-called coalition of the willing. and iraq continues to grapple with that fateful decision many call the invasion of iraq a blunder should we call it. a crime. oh

welcome to sophie and co i'm so the shepherd not to let you know google has won the russian vote is about to embark on a second consecutive term as russia's president what lies ahead for russia and the world now i ask his official spokesperson dmitri preschool thanks a lot for being on our program it's been a while actually so i guess put it has to win more often for us to talk to you but we've got a lot about let's start with elections lectures and over present couldn't got much more than anyone expected he got more than twenty twelve historical records in the country yeah but you know everyone thought he was going to win even if people who didn't like him were like of course is going to win i mean there's like no doubt

about it but the bets were like sixty sixty five percent but this and did you expect this result. and himself he said that it was quite unexpected for him. quite unexpected and. well of course as a president of a country when you have this level of support you feel the level of responsibility because every leader. carries a burden of responsibility of support. i was in america recently and europe. what they're saying is that because there's so much pressure from the west towards russia that kind of helped consolidate russia's public opinion and health putin gave this much would you agree with that well partly yes of course we can hardly ignore this effect of international pressure pressure coming from outside because this is russia and son standing country but this country. historical traditions

and historical mood of people you know they face any pressure coming from outside the night they unite and be united around this strong leader this happened numerous times during our history and of course partly it is happening no because when you when you see unprecedented pressure when you see even craziness coming from some countries you understand what i mean. well people people cannot tolerate it they resist and resisting they unite iran strongly and. the russian constitution limits the president to two consecutive terms now when put in was asked about what he's going to do he said i'm not going to change the constitution yet yet being the keyword well actually he never said that he never said that well of course you have to be very proud.
