10:33 pm
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 right now american youngsters are rallying the world to get gun laws type it's a story or alluding it to we're covering this because it's happening right now march is attracting hundreds of thousands at home and abroad we're covering it after the break. reality brands now people. 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. in
10:34 pm
a gravitational is ethical is valueless back you moral turpitude which is now the new reality or heaven as some may call it. kristen trumps money in finding practices are still surprising the recent appointments of mike. on friends and foes alike impact on american politics. so the u.s. government's narrowly escaped out of the shutdown after president trump reluctantly signed a one point three trillion dollar budget deal backing down from his threats to veto it but he didn't show away from showing his true feelings about the bill claiming
10:35 pm
he was forced to approve it for the sake of the military i will never sign another bill like this again i'm not going to do it again nobody read it. it's only hours old we had no choice but to fund our military 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 i've signed this. i'm the. budget bill this is on the bill bipartisan amendment to the of the biggest budget in the omnibus. situation. 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 u.s. federal government would have shut down again senator rand paul of kentucky took to
10:36 pm
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. energy. i found i found the. president trying one to know wait a minute section says defense can spend what funds it's time to enhance the border security of jordan lebanon egypt and. nine hundred sixty one million dollars to destroy chemical weapons he wasn't exactly convinced government paid 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
10:37 pm
five billion dollars to fund his notorious border wall at the end of the day and nobody got what they wanted the docket kids weren't even mention anywhere in the bill. meanwhile trump 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 it to week recess on capitol hill it's not hope and change or make america great again the name of the game is gridlock. on goes forward next but a seventeen year old palestinian girl has been sentenced to eight months in prison for slapping kicking two israeli soldiers and i was ahead to mimi you may recall it to she admitted guilt this time now as part of a plea bargain with the israeli army.
10:38 pm
is so which took place next to the girl's home in the west bank was filmed by. video. and the gate international attention and family say ahead how to just a cousin of hers had been shot in the head with a rubber bullet and that her actions were therefore they say completely understandable. that my daughter did was a normal reaction to the occupation there is no chance of appealing the verdict because the israeli security 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. a move but israel is here to see a palestinian gain in media attention and that made them hate her for having people support better was the reason for her imprisonment the israeli police and the media wanted harassed which means that i had a fact of them i had slept did not merit all the incitement against her and she is a child defending her land and home so this verdict is unjust she deserves freedom
10:39 pm
amid the public backlash the israeli defense forces have released a statement clarifying the case according to the i.d.f. admitted to the charges against her and apparently shells confessed. to other criminal acts disrupting the work of the military they say. we're having right now mass marches are underway in cities across the united states calling for stricter gun control laws hundreds of thousands are expected to take part support rallies are also being held in dozens of countries worldwide at the same time it's called the march for our lives these events they've been organized by the young survivors and families of last month's parklane school massacre in florida they're calling for congress to take a tougher stance on gun ownership and a ban on assault weapons which have been used in a number of deadly attacks in u.s. schools will make as they frequently capitulate under pressure from america's powerful gun lobby as for student self-defense meantime one school superintendent at the state of pennsylvania suggested arming youngsters with rocks meantime
10:40 pm
libertarian party politician and u.s. senate candidate brian allison thinks homeless people are an easy target and is proposing now to arm them his idea is to buy twenty shotguns and provide firearms training he says it's because rough sleepers face increasing levels of violence but most people are statistically much more prone to be the victim of violent crimes they're easy target when 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
10:41 pm
there 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 when he 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. change of pace cheer things up a bit taste of what's to come for the biggest sporting event of the year with the opening of the first fi for world cup football park in russia's black sea resort of sochi as well as armor to match is the master classes world cup veterans are on hand there as well including the portuguese striker nunu gomes who was at saturday's opening ceremony. it is not my first time here in russia but it's my first time here in this city and i'm glad to be here if. i had the opportunity to meet this wonderful city one of those cities of the world russia is a beautiful country a lot a lot more bigger than than my in portugal particle is
10:42 pm

10:43 pm
a potential problem is a threat is not a big concern in my point of view we have to do to explain people that this football and it is not political so violence is not part of our game that's why also we are here to to tell the people that. people will attend. a beautiful games beautiful world cup and we are trying to to to do this world cup one of the best the least risk people they basically are and they know political is one thing and football is an. yeah a lot of excited people across russia here a lot of excited towns talking of which the city the country of birth in central russia is one of the hosts for this summer's fee for world cup but to make it even prettier a landmark building there is really a show these pictures really was proving a bit of an obstruction so the city knocked it down a couple pictures it was huge great big t.v.
10:44 pm
tower believed to be the tallest abandoned structure in the world around two hundred twenty meters he what that is but two big ben's tall. lever that they look at thankfully not on any other buildings construction began back in one thousand nine hundred three it was never finished because of the collapse of the soviet union it's going to be replaced by a sports complex not much but of demolition wizardry i'll leave you for this thank you for watching my name is kevin o. in this is art international and many more of our programs and great pictures like that on our site as well r t dot com.
10:45 pm
fundamental if you know those states and russia are have been for decades to scorpions in a bottle each capable of destroying the other but all the price of being destroyed itself. said well these weapons were overcrowded u.s. missile defenses u.s. missile defenses were totally ineffective against russian forces already so there will be more effective against russian forces. for a world cup twenty eight team coverage we've signed one of the greatest goalkeepers of all time but there was one more question and by the way he's going to be our coach. guys i know you are nervous he's a huge star and the huge amount of pressure you have to be the center of the

10:47 pm
. and his neck isn't that long. list giant is rather modest and keeps a low profile that's not him either. people are often scared of this particular giant but he is nowhere near as dangerous as that one on. a friendly giant every day with the possible exception of weekends he saves human lives to hear. his name is isaac a giant power scrat. and i like his brothers and sisters he was born with a passion for travel.
10:48 pm
isaac's birthplace was a special training center in tanzania. it's called which stands for development of landmine detection equipment that's what isaac is these are mine sniffing rat. rats are everywhere they are sociable to all circumstances and they've lifted with humanity since ever. they actually traditionally. garbage and they've been doing that. for always. mind sniffing rats are put to work in former hot spots where learned mines are among the most deadly remnants of armed conflict they're often found years after war has ended and serious injury isn't the only problem. imagine how it must feel
10:49 pm
to live with the knowledge that there's a landmine lurking somewhere near your home. when i was a close up field and to help make the problem of landmines a thing of the past. but it will be a full nine months before he becomes a real pro for now he simply spends his time with his family. it's no coincidence that giant rats were chosen to sniff mines in the wild their extraordinary sense of smell allows them to search for food buried deep underground it worked with land mines too the key is to train the a rats to associate the discovery of t.n.t. with food and that's not difficult because everyone knows how intelligent rats. the really hard part is making sure that the rat doesn't make any mistakes that could be fatal and not just for the rat. it's these old regular
10:50 pm
rats that's clear from the way they eat these giant rats have special pouches in their cheeks to still food just like hamsters so this particular animal is on the cusp between being a rat in a house this perhaps that's why they're just a little bit cuter. i guess i should add to another really great benefit of our species of rats is that they're really curious which lab rats are curious as well but. their various social in terms of they're really willing to work with people lab rats sometimes will develop that relationship with you but i don't think they develop it quite as readily. meanwhile isaac has grown
10:51 pm
he's now four weeks old and training can begin like all children isaac schooling starts with a kindergarten. elbert is a camera he hopes little rants to feel comfortable around people. to see to defeat him to. be. the norm we teach the. truth. that's not. interacting with a care or is a vital part of the learning process it's important for isaac socialism. mind sniffing rats mustn't run away from all the bites people.
10:52 pm
when he grows up eyes are cool way around a kilo and his body will reach thirty to forty centimeters in length just about as long as his tail. because they're so big grilled. is our favorite local street food. that has started school he spends his early weeks learning the basic rule that t.n.t. means food. sound is used to reinforce the learned response when i can count as an empty container there's no sound. this one does contain t.n.t. and the click tells him that he can no claim i treat. well in general but how. they really let her do her thing they don't get involved or train
10:53 pm
influenced her in any way but so the rats eating the rats has a different behavior just before they find. they have certain pre-nda caitiff behavior and some of them like to clean themselves they like to groom themselves they're very clean. they don't like to get wet or maybe there's. some of them will walk around in circles some even stand up in the air. and so the handler knows that she's found some think it just has. indicated where it is. a rats remarkable sense of smell can detect the tiniest traces of t.n.t. . they can sense the explosive even when it's fifteen to twenty centimeters underground their noses of the not so secret weapon imagine if humans had similar
10:54 pm
abilities ok if you were in a pitch black room and somebody entered the house from. i would say. one kilometer away and it's pitch black and you can't hear anything you might be able to detect that some something changed but that's also very hard for me to say because i really as a scientist i need evidence to support such a claim and i don't have. isaac and his sister at the gym they can give their paws a good workout sharpen their teeth. but enjoy a sense of freedom. looks as though isaac's trying to set out on his first trip.
10:55 pm
nice try. a brief chase. a few a breath so fresh. and he soon back in the fold. they know what they are doing they know what to expect from them they know. if two are working in do very really want that they will have to three war. profit off. fixed very very very important he learned most you have to do board animals don't they don't understand this so i remember very were the words. and
10:56 pm
that's what we are doing. for about a. week these students are only fed the food supply given the streaks during training mostly a staple diet of but none of and not. just. during the weekend littlejohn's a given a veritable feat albert prepares a mixture of peanuts and dried fish this calorie cocktail is great for their bones . you want. them to it's no feast without dessert. he says. he. says here.
10:57 pm
in the wild giant rats live in small underground colonies. they're quite independent within the colony they live in their own burrows and tend not to share food with neighbors. females can choose their own mating partners but the colonies are not matter. they are ruled by a group that works a little like a parliament with both male and female members. it's a big day for isaac. is about to move on to high school. just like every graduate to be he gets his own personal transport.
10:58 pm
now i can start his field training. giant straps on nocturnal they sleep by day but have active night lives. carers try to adjust to the rats biorhythms they set out at five thirty in the morning a field training session can start at six. hits
10:59 pm
for moments like this that isaac has been trained. by the sound of the engine. the far right to in britain isn't just on the march it's taking violent mother's action i don't like it claiming that. i see those organizations which are usually split into which we feel different names how do you view that.
11:00 pm
complex web of british fashion. when we all make this manufacture claim sentenced to public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. when the final merry go round be the one percent. we can all middle of the room sick. i mean real news is. the most expensive fish in the world each one is selling for tens of thousands of euros it continues to grow its entire life.
