facebook made you do it these. are unique in the history of politics that is. political t.v. and election i'm politicians you coddle babies and newspapers and humans be. 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 it away when reading fake news dammit so what can you do when the founder of north has gone on twitter to tell us to delete facebook but they're all on the social network to tell us what's. going on to syria now where rebels and their families are being evacuated from the war torn district of eastern guta russia's defense ministry says almost five

thousand militants have left the area so far in these latest pictures from our video agency ruptly you can see them being transported out of the conflict zone they're being taken to the rebel held illegal province in the north under syrian army escort. now aside from the rebels more than one hundred thousand civilians have also been able to flee the devastation in eastern guta the government is finally regaining control over the district after a five year siege survivors have been describing life under the militant. on the road didn't want to let us go first suffered so much that we would have left a long time ago but we simply couldn't while the militants shooting at you yes as a said they made to suffer a lot with their food and could not leave everything was very expensive the would do when there would be once a to us. once

a day and we would receive little of the food which had been sent to us i know. i was playing and i didn't realize what happened at first then i found myself in this condition that had. tributes are flowing in for a police officer who has died of his injuries after protecting hostages in a supermarket siege in the south of france which colonel are know was stabbed and shot by an islamic extremist who also killed three other people the french president has declared the officer a hero for volunteering to swap places with a hostage while the events unfolded the policeman managed to leave his cell phone switched on so the special forces outside the supermarket could monitor the situation and recap of what happened on friday the gunmen hijacked a car and the outskirts of the town of carcass saw an ad around the ten o'clock am killing one passenger and seriously injuring the driver soon afterwards he opened fire on a group of police officers who were out jogging wounding one in the shoulder the

gunman then drove to the nearby town of trap where he stormed a supermarket and killed two civilians and a police officer and eye witness described what he saw. 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 with a handgun in one hand and a knife in the other yelling. after that i took my wife and my sister in law and some customers nearby and we went to look for shelter i put them in the butcher's frege closed from the inside the killer has been identified as a twenty six year old french citizen of moroccan origin he was known to the police for low level drug crime and was under surveillance despite that a number of locals have said that they would never have suspected him of being

radicalized because it's peaceful here where you see the like any out there he was very kind very sociable a door of he over two weeks to the children and he's a terrorist. but not surprised because there was a bad atmosphere in the city for some time well there have been a number of terror attacks and thwarted attempts in france since the beginning of two thousand and seventeen in february last year a man attempted to enter the louvre museum in paris with a machete while an attacker was stopped at orly airport one month later a police officer was shot and killed last april on the shop of the say and october two young women were stabbed to death at a train station in marseilles former british police officer peter kirkwood says even potential attackers under surveillance can still slip through the bat. i know the french and various other countries of. the security services and their

intelligence gathering. oh over recent years particularly after the spate of very serious incidents that happened in two thousand and fifteen and so 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 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. the u.s. government has narrowly escaped another shutdown after president trump reluctantly signed a one point three trillion dollars budget deal backing down from his threat to veto

it 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 omnibus i'm the. budget bill this is on the bill bipartisan amendment to the of the biggest budget deal 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

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 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 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 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. the seventeen year old palestinian girl has been sentenced to eight months in prison for slapping and kicking two israeli soldiers she was arrested in december. yeah.

well the assault which took place next to the girl's home in the west bank was filmed by her mother the video later went viral and gained international attention her family says had just learned that a cousin of hers had been shot in the head with a rubber bullet and that her actions were completely understand. that 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 to be final this country does not acknowledge international law and we are fooling ourselves if we think that the israeli courts seek justice. is he to see a post 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 wanted her best which means that i had a fact of them 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 freedom

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 she also confessed to two other criminal acts disrupting the work of the military. marches have been held across the u.s. for tougher gun laws in washington d.c. nearly eight hundred thousand people gathered for a rally and survivors of the school shooting in parkland florida took to the stage . we're not here for bread crumbs we're here for real change we're here. let's put the usa over the n.r.a. . is there a will to keep weapons of war off our streets was welcome to the revolution was if in march was also held in florida where last month's high school massacre claimed the lives of seventeen people saturday's rallies had

a strong political message with speakers calling on youth to register to vote and force congress to take action on gun control or to smear khan was at the event in washington d.c. . he was has never found a solution to the problem of mass occurs in school shootings but now that students have finally taken matters into their own hands will things really change i think something's different this time because the kids are standing up it's really the kids stillman douglass that made this happen and it shows that the power of the people is really strong and we all really want changes to the gun laws what we know is that marches change the media right and media that's inspired both to action and then action makes the change that we there's so many high school kids out here and they're proud they're handing out sticker saying i can vote in two thousand and twenty and twenty twenty one they're not even they can't even vote yet but they're out here being politically active so it's really inspiring to be in this environment to i don't think that arming teachers is the right thing to do i think

we need common gun policies kids shouldn't be getting access to guns people with mental health can't get access to guns so i think it's just about making these common sense was that keep us safer the youngsters are being roundly applauded for pushing the gun control debate farther than many of done before and they're attracting some big money backers who see the kid succeeding where they failed in scoring political points but the march is being coordinated by a group that's co-chaired and funded by liberal ex mayor of new york city michael bloomberg who's openly expressed his opposition to the powerful. national rifle association and democratic party leaders in several states are helping out by busting people to the marches well it's a noble cause that's rolling more people behind tightening america's gun controls than the combined clout of the political and showbiz heavyweights have tried before so the question is will this take the attention away from a young grassroots organizers i i. mean while libertarian party politician and u.s.

senate candidate brian ellison has come up with a controversial plan to arm homeless people in his ideas to buy twenty shotguns and provide firearms training he says people living on the street should be able to defend themselves 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 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. staying with us now president trumps third national security adviser is getting ready to start work hard to jacqueline vogel looks at how john bolton's rival could impact relations with russia. in 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 trump's enduring 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 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 up again the machine of russian propaganda and russian propaganda machine propaganda machine this propaganda that's coming out of russia russian propaganda on steroids the internet isn't ignoring the possibly serious physical signs of where bolton's loyalties truly lie are either. jumbo. jets of

russian spy. breaking john bolton's missteps started is a russian spy boat and heaven mistah shit different colors which makes him look like he's in disguise 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 legal and media analyst lionel believes bolton's appointments and conflicting messages we started off with hawkish responsible bellicose saber rattling let's 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 why numb we can annihilate you are a button is bigger than your button we have more missiles and you do watch it face

to rapprochement 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. and world cup park has been opened in the southern russian resort of sochi as the country gears up for the biggest sporting event of the year portuguese striker and you know gomes was at saturday's opening ceremony and spoke to r.t. . it's 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 a small country comparing comparing to russia but. of course russia even if

he's big we have some similar things regarding culture and i'm happy to be here and i'm happy also that russia will last finally. the world cup portugal is coming to this world cup crowned is the european champions they are soon to speak or one of the favorites here could you name one of the few obstacles that you expect the tee to come across at this world cup a lot of guys are looking to our national team and the maybe that could be one of the reasons that increase our responsibility there has been some speculation about the found culture in russia for example the british media specially raised concerns about potential violence at the school do you see that as 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 in this 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 risky poke. a pair and they know political is one thing and football is an. the russian city of your cut to being boarded is one of the hosts of the summer's world cup but in landmark building there was getting in the way of renovation plans t.v. tower has been demolished it was believed to be the tallest abandoned structure in the world at around two hundred twenty meters construction began back in one nine hundred eighty three but was never finished due to the collapse of the soviet union it will be replaced by a sports complex. cities around the world are being

plunged into darkness for earth hour to raise awareness over electricity waste and to climate change millions of people are taking part in the event they're shutting off the lights for one hour due by march of the occasion with candlelight and some of europe's key landmarks went dark the acropolis in athens the colosseum in rome and finally the eiffel tower in paris earth hour was first held back in two thousand and seven in australia and has since gone. right that does it for me i will be back in about thirty one minutes with full of which to stay with us.

what do you suppose. they put themselves on the line. they did accept or reject. so what you want to be present and you. want to be that's. actually going to be for us this is what. people. interested in the waters of. course it. this is a story of one of africa's giants. know his teeth on that shot. and his neck isn't that long. this 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 and. it's a friendly giant every day with the possible exception of weekends he saves human lives. his name is isaac a giant pouched rat. and i like his brothers and sisters he was born with a passion for travel. 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 was ended and serious injury isn't the only problem. imagine how it must feel 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. these old regular rats there it's clear from the way they eat these giant rats have special pouches in their cheeks to steal 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. there are various social in terms of they're really willing to work with people. sometimes will develop that relationship with you but i don't think they develop it quite as readily. meanwhile isaac has grown he's now four weeks old i'm training can begin like all children isaac's schooling starts with the kindergarten. although it is a camera he helps a little rats to feel comfortable around people.

to see if. he's the. norm we teach the. truth. that's not. interacting with the 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. 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 influenced her in any way but some of the rats eating the rats has a different behavior just before they find. they have certain behaviors 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 hasn't. 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 on the ground their nose is not so secret weapon imagine if humans had similar 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 something changed but that's also very hard for me to say because i really is a scientist i need evidence to support such a claim and i don't have. eyes or his sister at the gym but i can give their paws a good workout sharpen their teeth. really enjoy the freedom. looks as though isaac's trying to set out on his first trip. nice troy. a brief. few a breath of fresh air. and he soon back in the fold.
