for petty theft and small drug related crimes and was also under surveillance not unlike other similarly tragic incidents local it's a neighbors of the alleged attacker never saw it coming. because it's peaceful here where you see the like any out there he was very kind very sociable i do orrible he over three weeks to the children and he's a terrorist. shocked but not surprised because there was a bad atmosphere in the city for some time. well there have of course been a number of terror attacks rocking france over the past number of years and twenty fifteen satirical magazine surely at doe's office was assaulted leaving seventeen people dead in november the cure a coordinated shooting and suicide bombing claimed the lives of one hundred thirty in part of the french riviera city of nice was targeted in july twenty sixth and enough holiday in a truck must occur and in april last year a gunmen killed

a policeman on the seans elisei in the center of the french capital former u.k. police officer peter kirk and sees that preventing lone wolf attacks in small cities is particularly 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 though it's the sort of thing that will get through the very best of intelligence gathering. functions it's a small town in the middle of nowhere it's not in a big city it's not a predictable target it's relatively low tech yes there's a firearm involved but they're not that difficult to obtain if you put your mind to and got criminal connections we have got thousands tens of thousands hundreds of

thousands more people with some question mark against them then we've got resources to look at them and some on fortunately will get through it's as simple as that unfortunately. british investigators have raided the offices of the scandal hit political consulting firm cambridge alyssa get 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 too with u.s. lawmakers saying c.e.o. mark zuckerberg should testify at a congressional hearing and over in germany facebook representatives have already been summoned by berlin to face questioning over the data breach. for a long time will have had the impression that unless you apply hard 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 for this when lots of fallout from this famous entrepreneur musk has the lead at his personal page from facebook and also pages for his own. space x. company tesla cars wiki leaks editor julian assange. the social media giant on twitter and others are now flocking to do the same with the hashtag delete facebook trending and her latest online show polly boyko takes a sideways look over the cambridge scandal. in case you missed this on the sacrificial alter this week in cambridge on alyssa casts. kerry we're going to take a scavenged information from millions of space but profiles controlled the highest spaces that they could use it to target votes is the don't go on behind the only time i am brags it was a lot of playing it up they've been paying more attention to your facebook profile

than the sweaty shakey guy in the office you can't get enough of your photos from our florida getaway back in two thousand and fourteen of course back it turned to twelve the use of data to win elections was innovative in twenty eighteen is evil that has something changed cambridge analytic it is based in britain a country where interfering in the elections is a gentlemanly perceive if there is little enterprises based in some of the western world would be sanctioning russian oxygen by now. you know who that was russian. do you think you voted based on a crashing economy immigration inequality or corrupt politicians learn facebook made you do it these sinister methods of targeting voters are unique in the history of politics that is a global role political t.v. and election post i'm politicians who coddle babies and newspapers and human sprit

. 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 take it away we're not reading break news here goddamn it so what can you do while the founder of north south has gone on twitter to tell us too much time delete facebook but they're all cool but it's all the social networks to tell us what to do. the american president has been spending big signing a one point three trillion dollar bill to avoid a u.s. government shutdown the plan was earlier approved by congress the spite 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. this omnibus. budget bill this is on the bill to a bipartisan amendment to the of the biggest budget in the omnibus. situations. translated from latin. now the bill contains basically the entire federal budget and if it hadn't been signed into law by donald trump at this point the us federal government would have shut down again now senator 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 that contains over one point three trillion dollars in legislative spending. two hundred forty seven a little over thirty billion dollars for the department of energy wonder if anyone would notice. of energy. i found since i found border security president trump one two no wait a minute section says defense can spend one funds at a time and to enhance the border security of jordan lebanon egypt and tunisia. nine hundred sixty one million dollars to destroy chemical weapons who wasn't exactly convinced government to pay billions to develop weapons we now find to prove contention related to the issues of immigration democrats wanted protection for the docket kids these are people who entered the united states illegally under the age of eighteen trump wanted twenty five billion dollars to fund his notorious border wall at the end of the day no. but he got what they wanted the docket kids weren't

even mention anywhere in the bill meanwhile trial got a mere one point six billion dollars for his border wall that's supposed to be nearly two thousand miles long 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 congress is now taking a two week recess on capitol hill it's not hope and change or make america great again the name of the game is gridlock well as president trump's new national security adviser gets ready to take office just mean 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 to find 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. as 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 there are 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 about 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 isn't ignoring the possibly serious physical signs of where bolton's loyalties truly lie either. jumbo. because of russian spy. breaking john bolton's missteps started is a russian spy voters who are in mr shit different colors which makes him look like he's in disguise and just over two weeks bolton will officially take over as trans national security advisor 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 called up a line a legal a media analyst for his thoughts he believes not bolton's appointment sends conflicting messages we started off with hawkish responsible bellicose saber rattling all of 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 and 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 thousands of militants on family members have left eastern ghouta in syria as part of a deal between the militants on the russian defense ministry has read conciliation center of more months after the short break.

reality now people uploading their minds to it and they're willing to trade their physical body in exchange for the promise of immortality because remember we've shifted from the physical to the spiritual i guess you could god we've also lost all values associated with the physical plane they all respect for gravity dollars back for a plurality they have now been. in the gravitational ethical is valueless back you moral turpitude which is now the new reality or heaven as some may call it

. seventeen minutes into the program you are very welcome back let's get an update on the situation in the embattled eastern region in syria russia's defense ministry say almost five follows the militants and their families have been taken from the besieged area to the rebel held it live it's all part of a deal reached between the militants and the ministries reconsolidation center let's take you to these pictures now they have been filmed by our video agency ruptly clearly showing insurgents their families. preparing to leave eastern ghouta the russian ministry say. excuse me says another checkpoint by the way has not been opened up allowing militants to expedia third departure from there they're being

escorted to adlib by the syrian army one hundred thousand people have been evacuated from me and clave this month. 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. head to me was filmed by her mother lusting at a two israeli soldiers the entrance to her home the video which went viral shows her kicking and slapping them and she said she had earlier seen one of the i.d.f. soldiers shoot her cousin with a rubber bullet in the head i had family in sr i first was completely on the stand

. but my daughter did was the normal reaction to the occupation there is no chance of appealing the verdict because the israeli security legal system considers this to be final this country does not acknowledge international law and we are fooling ourselves if we think that the israeli courts seek justice. but israelis hate to see a post gain 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 wanted her which means that i had a fact of them i had slapped 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. lochhead has been filmed attacking israeli forces before this a video emerged online six years previously showing her threatening to punch an israeli soldier her family has been accused of exploiting the team to intentionally provoke i.d.f. soldiers on camera. a number of russian media outlets have 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 you're a cheater examines the meat to case you're in russia. 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 slutsky 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 very nice to.

continue ends up going to be. an actual gets a slice of us to discern 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. a few deputies however did take the journalist side it isn't fair to question this lady said why is it doesn't say anything earlier because that's embarrassing even 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 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. thousands of people have gathered in barcelona to protest against the red team and of several cultural and separatist leaders in madrid. thirteen cattle and head stand accused of revolt for the breakaway regions independence referendum last october five are currently awaiting trial at the latest demonstration in barcelona riot police used force to push disperse protesters it's been reported that up to twenty four people were injured. thousands of people across america are expected to march this saturday for stricter gun control laws activists are bowing to all rallies in multiple cities under the slogan march for our lives they're calling for

a bomb on assault weapons which are frequently used in school shootings meanwhile a libertarian party politician in the us is proposing to arm homeless people throughout they can defend themselves brian allison a michigan candidate for the u.s. senate sees rough sleepers are facing increasing levels of violence and he wants to give them shotguns and firearms dreaming. 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 a means to obtain the weapons that any other american citizen 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. switching gears now the city of you catherine burke in central russia is one of the hosts of this summer's fifa world cup but a landmark building there was proving to be an obstruction for the city sprucing itself up though not anymore the t.v. tower it was believed to be witold us abundant structure in the world that are on two hundred twenty meters and it comes construction began back in one thousand nine hundred three it was never finished though due to the collapse of the soviet union it will be replaced by a sports complex. so these next this hour updates by the minute by the way

literally on our twitter page don't miss a thing. kristen chalmers hiring and firing practices are still surprising the recent appointments of my complaint and john bolton have left an impression on friends and foes alike impenetrable a high of on american politics. the most expensive fish in the world each one selling for tens of thousands of euros it continues to grow its entire life if it was thirty years old you might have

a two ton fish out there and yet they don't get that big today because we're way too good at catching. it's only women and self a much larger mission was one that was much more widely distributed we have politicians that are in office for a few years they have to get reelected everything is very very short term our system is not suited and is not geared for long term survival and that's why we have the catastrophes that. fundamentally the united states and russia are have been for decades to scorpions in a bottle each capable of destroying the other but only at the price of being destroyed itself. putin said well these weapons will overcome u.s. missile defenses u.s. missile defenses were totally ineffective against russian forces already so they'll be more effective against russian forces.

this is boom bust broadcasting around the world from washington d.c. on this date u.s. president ronald reagan unveiled his proposal for the strategic defense initiative or s.d.i. . to be able to shoot down enemy missiles head read united states in that regard coming up on today's program former pentagon official michael maloof is back to talk defense and we take a little time to time travel back to those days of s.d.i. and star wars and fast forward to what's going on now with space weapons plus r.t. correspondent dan cohen helps us to understand who the biggest defense contractors are and how much money they make plus economist and author steve king joins us from london to answer the important question can we avoid another financial crisis.
