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 humiliated 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 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. may demand such is 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 heroism 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 takers. are numerous terror attacks have hit front since the assault and satirical magazine surely office in twenty fifteen that left seventeen people dead in november twenty fifth in a coordinated shooting suicide bombing claimed the lives of one hundred and three the french riviera city of nice was targeted in july twenty sixth during a national holiday in a truck massacre and in april last year a gunman killed a policeman on the seans elisei in central park this former police officer peter kirk sees that preventing lone wolf attacks in small cities is very difficult i know the french and various other countries of the. security services and their

intelligence gathering. over recent years particularly after the spate of really serious incidents that happened in two thousand and fifteen and two thousand and sixteen this sort of attack it's the sort of thing that will get through the very best of intelligence gathering. functions. in the middle of nowhere it's not in a big city it's not a predictable target it's relatively. a firearm involved they're not that difficult to obtain if you put your mind to and of course criminal connections we have got it. tens of thousands hundreds of thousands more people with some question mark against. them we've got resources to look at them and some unfortunately will get through it's as simple as that fortunately. british investigators have raided the offices of the scandal hit political consulting firm cambridge. the company is

known for having worked with donald trump during his twenty sixteen presidential campaign and is under investigation for allegedly mining data from fifty million social media accounts the scandal has put pressure on facebook as well with u.s. lawmakers seeing c.e.o. mark zuckerberg should testify at a congressional hearing over in germany meanwhile facebook representatives have already been summoned by berlin to face questioning over their data breach. for a long time i have had the impression that unless you apply pressure nothing happens with facebook an obviously they try to run the business with a minimum of resources and nothing to do with social responsibility this is just my impression and it's not received with a lot of enthusiasm meanwhile billionaire entrepreneurial must deleted his personal page from facebook pages for his own space x. company and tesla cars other people are flocking to do the same with the hash tag

delete facebook beginning to trend on another social media platform twitter artie's probably know a satirical look back over the cambridge a little scary. in case you missed it on the sacrificial also this week is cambridge on alyssa casts. cambridge on lasik i scavenged information for millions of space but profiles until the highest bases that they could use it it's all get votes is the jungle of behind don't jump am bragg's it was a lot of praying i set up they've been paying more attention to your facebook profile than the sweaty shaky guy in the office he's confident enough of your photos from our florida getaway back in two thousand and fourteen of course back in twenty twelve the use of data to win elections was innovative in twenty eighteen it's evil that has something changed cambridge analytical is based in britain

a country where interfering in the elections is a gentlemanly perceive if there is little enterprises based as in the western world would be sanctioning russian oxygen by now. it was russian of a view that you voted based on a crashing economy immigration inequality or corrupt politicians learned facebook made you do it these sinister macas of targeting very much as are unique in the history of politics that is a blow for all political t.v. and election post i'm bored additions you coddle babies and newspapers unhuman spree. news just in we're getting reports of an election that has actually been won because voters listened to the issues and made an informed decision to take that away we're not reading break news here goddamn it so what can

you do well the founder of sap has gone on twitter to tell us too much time delete facebook but there are still the social networks to tell us what to do. let's say stateside where as president knew enough still security advisers settles into office just explores how john bolton could be the latest official to face scrutiny over alleged links to moscow. and the latest installment of the revolving door saga that's defined the trumpet ministration a third national security advisor is taking over john bolton is an outspoken ultra hawk seen as an advocate of big stick diplomacy including when it comes to russia the russians have walked all over the obama administration for eight years it's really been a pathetic performance putin is i think making a propaganda claim here and of course he's blaming us for this he's saying if you

hadn't gotten out of the one nine hundred seventy two anti-ballistic missile treaty i wouldn't have to do this that's complete nonsense and he knows that you've got to build up our cyber offensive and defensive capabilities and create structures of deterrence so it doesn't happen again and how do you do that in this case you make the russians feel pain so not exactly in line with terms and during a message of the benefits of getting along with russia but maybe that means this is the one guy in the trumpet ministration who won't be accused of being a kremlin puppet. or not if we look back bolton is not without connections to russia and as we all know any hint of the wrong red white and blue flag is more than enough to string someone up in washington now back in two thousand and thirteen bolton recorded a video for a russian gun rights group and courage in moscow to adopt something similar to america second amendment or 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 but given that bolton was on the n.r.a. is international affairs subcommittee at the time it's not all that surprising or sinister that however isn't stopping anyone from jumping to collusion conclusions now stay with me here the group that distributed the video was co-founded by alexander torsion yes a russian and the f.b.i. is reportedly investigating whether torsion illegally funneled money to the n.r.a. which in turn use the funds to support the trump campaign and the russian cherry on top is torsion is tied to the kremlin and president putin himself with connections like that they're sure to be a huge scandal brewing and sadly for bolton it gets worse he has appeared on our channel a number of times in the past and we all know what washington thinks of us propaganda bullhorn party television up again the machine of russian propaganda and russian propaganda machine propaganda machine this propaganda that's coming up to russia russian propaganda on steroids the internet is an ignoring the possibly serious

physical signs of where bolton's loyalties truly lie either john bolton's mr bush is a russian spy john bolton's mustache admits that it is the russian spy bolton's here in moscow sure different colors which makes him look like he's in these guys and just over two weeks bolton will officially take over as trump's national security adviser giving the media plenty of time to tease out any and all ties but may have to russia and speculate on exactly what they mean good luck guys we also got the thoughts of legal media analyst lionel he believes that bolton's appointment sends conflicting messages. we started off with hawkish responsible bellicose saber rattling dolled us be more circumspect it changes by the day i have to remind you of this one issue north korea still phase one president trump one to choose one them we can annihilate you are button

is bigger than your button we have more missiles than you do watch it phase two were approached detente great let's meet political stage three let's bring in bolton who wanted a preemptive strike if you can figure this out if you can see any pattern to this you are a better person than i am. to staying in the us phocians of people across america are expected to march on saturday for stricter gun control laws activists are planning to hold rallies in multiple cities under the slogan march for our lives they're calling for a bomb the assault weapons which are frequently used in school shootings in a libertarian party politician in the us has called for homeless people to be given shotguns to defend themselves brian ellison a michigan candidate for the u.s. senate this rough sleepers are facing increasing levels of violence and he wants to give them shotguns and firearms training. but most people are statistically much

more prone to be the victim of violent crimes they're easy target and they're really don't have any means to protect themselves they don't have the means to obtain the weapons that any other american citizen can and can typically get their hands on i understand why people see it's alarming. but i think people fail to see the other alarming point is people want to constantly bring up the mental health of the homeless and how that's a big issue how they're prone to violence i think that's frankly something that we should be much more worried about is the militarization of the police force and that is much more dangerous to the american people and i promise that the police kill many more people in a year then do any homeless people if we follow the letter of the law and we do the background checks like we expect to do and somebody does something that they're not supposed to do with a weapon they should be they should be held one hundred percent criminally

responsible for their act. as expel twenty three british diplomats relations between the u.k. and russia continue to worsen over the poisoning of a former spy and his daughter in southern england the officials who left the embassy compound earlier on friday expulsion mirrors a step taken by b. u.k. last week on that came later is meant for a second day of summit talks which saw the british prime minister pushing for joint retaliate or reaction against russian assassinations seti reports. during the summit in brussels the topics that were high on the agenda included trade rights it and of course the attack insult bray on march the fourth on square paul and his daughter now two reason maybe u.k. prime minister has been pushing for the east states to express solidarity and take further action against russia here's what she had to say 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 souls but it's highly likely that russia was responsible for that attempted murder but 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 other leaders were present to you including chancellor angela merkel and french president mccrone now they both say france and germany agree that additional measures against russia will be necessary and also speaking at the summit was don't tell president european council shaun claudio president of the commission they say east states have different approaches to russia and some want an open channel for discussions with moscow. scape in europe russia and this is why it's not so easy to keep the. twenty eight. group. together should wait also for some.

results of investigations so everyone was also indicate didn't do willingness to give as far as russia is concerned. so it's kind of terry's amaze expecting movie unifying response from the e.u. but the say that they're willing for a more open dialogue with moscow. well the e.u. has also temporarily withdrawn its ambassador from moscow a reminder that move is over the case of surrogate script the former russian spy who was allegedly poisoned with a nerve agent around three weeks ago in the british city of seoul spree u.k. police are still investigating the attack on script and his daughter have said it could take months before any conclusions can be made. a number of russian media outlets boycotted the lower chamber of the country's parliament it comes after an m.p.

was accused of sexual harassment by three female journalists and if you're a cheater examines the meat to case here in russian. i may just candle is unfolding in the political arena in russia it involves a powerful lawmaker and the chairman of the russian state duma's committee on international affairs obviously an important player his name leonid for ski in february slutsky was accused of sexual harassment in the workplace by three female journalists all three claimed he tried to touch and kiss them during interviews which happened back in twenty eleven twenty fourteen and last year two why didn't they speak out earlier well the victims say they didn't feel comfortable and safe doing so until now. it's really still. very also look at the unions are going to. act and it's all good slice

a little bit was the reaction from leonid slutsky himself while he called the accusations of provocations he did then attempt to apologize through congratulating women on women's day and saying that he was sorry if he had offended anyone so how sincere was that apology when asked if in fact he had apologized he said he didn't mean it like that as the scandal picked up pace some of these colleagues including some female duma deputies threw their weight behind him accusing the journalists of slander a violation of ethics and orchestrating a campaign to discredit him. when the case eventually made it to the state duma ethics commission it found no violations and one deputy even claimed that slit ski's actions were

a mere sign of affection. you know who you. are. a few deputies however did take the journalist side it isn't theory to question this lisa belt why is it doesn't say anything earlier because that's embarrassing if mace if you let me see for yourself your family your mother my only advice is to go to court so as a response to the negative ruling against the women certain media outlets have declared a boycott against the state duma even a special forces magazine has blasted slits his behavior as shameful in fact more than a dozen platforms have demanded resignation and refuse to have any contact with him or representatives claiming it's not a safe place to work both for men and women the duma has made its position clear by suspending the credentials of certain media slutsky has kept his job but many outlets are making sure the scandal doesn't die down and there is your need to

moment in russia so far. politicians of people have gathered in barcelona to protest against the detainment of several catalan separatist leaders in madrid. thirteen head stand accused of revolt after the breakaway regions independence referendum last october five for currently awaiting trial at the leaders demonstration in barcelona riot police used force to push back on dispersed but it has been reported that twenty four people were injured. president donald trump signed a one point three trillion dollars spending bill to avoid a u.s. government shutdown the plan was earlier approved by congress despite being fiercely contested by both republicans and democrats there are a lot of things that i'm unhappy about in this bill. there are

a lot of things that we should have had in this bill but we were in a sense forced if we want to build our military we were forced to have after a lot of heated debates stressful afternoons and sleepless nights donald trump has finally signed the spending bill he had previously threatened to veto and as all the drama was playing out on national t.v. americans were googling a new word omnibus of signed this omnibus omnibus omnibus budget bill this omnibus bill to a bipartisan amendment to the on the budget deal in the omnibus the omnibus situation sen rand paul of kentucky took to twitter to expose some of the more bizarre things contained in the over two thousand two hundred page bill page four hundred forty seven a little over thirty billion dollars for the department of energy wonder if anyone would notice nodes of poems of energy i found i found it full of security what

president truman wanted no wait a minute section says defense can spend what funds it determines to enhance the border security of jordan lebanon egypt and tunisia. nine hundred sixty one million dollars to destroy chemical weapons who was it exactly convinced government to pay billions to develop weapons we now find deplorable so the federal government is not shutting down they'll be free to keep spending americans money despite the fact that we're already twenty one trillion dollars into debt on capitol hill it's not hope and change or make america great again the name of the game is gridlock. turning our attention to the middle east where a seventeen year old palestinian girl has been sentenced to eight months in jail for slapping and hitting two israeli soldiers the girl admitted her guilt as part of a plea bargain with the israeli army. i

had to meet was filmed by her mother and two israeli soldiers the entrance to her home the video which went viral shows her kicking and slapping them in she said she had earlier seen one of the i.d.f. soldiers shoot her cousin with a rubber bullet in the head it also followed protests on the west bank over u.s. recognition of jerusalem as the couple of israel. to list her actions were understandable response. i think that all good that. the occupation is illegal illogical and unjust we didn't expect any justice from the court palestinians of punished just for being palestinians what my daughter did was a normal reaction to the occupation there is no chance of appealing the verdict because the israeli security and legal system considers this verdict to be final this country does not acknowledge international law and we are fooling ourselves if

we think that the israeli courts seek justice the system in israel is based on the use of force i had exposed the ugliness of the occupation and stood up for the rights in the land of the palestinians. well the israeli defense forces say our heads actions were incitement her family is also accused of exploiting the teen to provoke the soldiers on camera a similar view emerged earlier online showing an eleven year old our head threatening to punch and this really soldier cousin the israelis are furious at the media attention and public support she's received. even if. we can seem to be to do that there wasn't much violence and the proof of that is they didn't of us who on that day these rallies hate to see you posting again in media attention and that made them hate her for having people support that was the reason for her imprisonment the israeli police and the media went to her best which means that a heart attack to them we are talking about an occupation that has no loss when it

comes to the palestinians i had slept did not merit all the inside meant against her and she is a child defending her land and home so this verdict is unjust she deserves that and hopefully. ok switching gears with the twenty eight thousand feet for world cup in russia edging closer to kickoff two nations preparing for football's biggest stage play that moscow is luzhniki stadium on friday evening which will host the tournaments final on july the fifteenth at a tranquil was off the game to test the much the experience for front. russia are changing not brazil it's loosely area it's for a twenty foot ball was tough so i don't know how fast the city sort of the state of the access issues for the. thousands of their parents are almost all the roads outside the arena have been closed so it's probably wise for security purposes but our elders are not happy at all. right but if you

want to see transport there are four veteran stations that your interest goes on and the extra bus routes to see if either way it's retro and change is free for a few hours after the console time was sorely lost it's always great to feel the crowd vice. versa. i don't really see any wives or other issues at the security checkpoint area. surely the fans around me would love to see that kind of a fixture in russia versus brazil for the final of the world coming to solve our planet should be priscilla will get many more chances for all the already won the

world cup finals finals and the brazilian football legend telling that once they mislead sent to the russian that salty will all make what the old ball walls fall away and the guy absolute sense here whether they know the rest of the phrase enough for answers for you have to choose one on one but when the first man steps on the mars surface to be one the brazilian ice hockey team the official winner of the world cup in hockey see what vladimir putin stops playing hockey and starts playing football and dean what the world call in football in russia gets moved to january what do you think i'm. just. going to need to be sure to do it in the fourth one when the world cup is moved to junior when the business tonight is for the monster i don't think if of course they really see it going to go when brazil become foci world champion one brazil wins the ice hockey almost for going
