so. here are the stories that shape the week just gone the diplomatic rift over the poisoning of surrogate script his daughter sees russian and british diplomats being expelled moscow again insists it's not to blame calling it an act of terrorism. days headline news to fire rips through a shopping center in central russia killed five and injured dozens of others. and the facebook boss takes full page ads in british and american sunday newspapers to apologize for the massive data breach but tens of millions of personal accounts exploited us pro independent testers clashed with police in past lowder again that's happening right now in support of former cattle and president karl is purged of more he's been detained by german police up get like comment on the latest there

to. hide their money was kevin zero in thanks for watching the weekly roundup of the big stories of the last seven days on the ones happening right now from our to international we start with this diplomatic standoff between the u.k. and russia came to a head this last week with twenty three diplomats from each country returning home britain made the first expulsions following the poisoning of former double agent sergei scrip and his daughter in england three weeks ago even though the investigation is still under way british officials have repeatedly said that a russian link is nonetheless highly likely and on thursday the prime minister asked the e.u. to back her up. it was highly likely that russia was responsible for this first war with think that the current analysis is already very well grounded and nobody questions that everyone was also indicate didn't do willingness to do follow

as far as russia is concerned. we have different positions different. interests political landscape in europe towards russia and there to fight start so easy to keep that. eight. group. together. for its part the kremlin has flatly dismissed the claims that it was involved calling the poisoning a terrorist act russia has also expressed willingness to cooperate with british authorities but that's going little traction so far in fact the u.k.'s foreign secretary boris johnson has been among russia's harshest critics even agreeing with nazi comparisons of a parliamentary hearing in the week. because all the roads lead to the. you didn't get the why he believes the mountain thirty six. here so i think the

comparison with nine hundred thirty six is is certainly right moscow considers this kind of statements made under the level of the foreign secretary in your we an acceptable and totally irresponsible. the british government just free to make a decision about its budget submission in the world cup but nobody has the right to insult the russian people who defeated nazis and lost more than twenty five million people by comparing our country to nazi germany. did it goes beyond the common sense and we do not think british war veterans including those of the arctic. would share this opinion on the heels of boris johnson's comments the russian embassy in the u.k. also posted this photo in a controversial moment way back when the english football team was ordered by

british authorities to give a nazi salute before a friendly match with germany in one nine hundred thirty eight war but to the present the ratcheting up of animosity towards russia seems to be making its way into british schools now too in the we got us is said and i took a look at the niger cation a project likely to be reinforcing a still it was better than helping the young to try to maneuver the ever tricky world of global current affairs. the day isn't on my knees service that is used by one in three duke a schools teachers my variance from subscribing schools user articles and activities across all subjects for lessons homework research. here's a one handed to tory on provided by the service to help educate the young and broaden their horizon. it's talks of putin on mission to poison west ouch and among questions to discuss is putin europe's most dangerous leader since hitler was

discussed. help students out topics like the ongoing fires scandal where an investigation is still under way are broken down despite this incriminating evidence of international outrage to release monks and everything in case there is confusion still there is a dictionary included which explains the meaning of the words marks surely this teaches you to put things into perspective not the chalk and blitzkrieg are also in here a military tactic designed to crush the enemy with overwhelming force a short space of time coincidentally me to be missed by hitler in world war two just to make it a bit easier to connect the dots brutal assassinations cyber attacks as well as plotting the downfall of western democracy also read out as food for thought a you decide section let students consider the following questions is putin the most dangerous man in the world did the cold war ever end as well as what

impression does putin give about what russia is like the doing helps students develop information literacy and critical thinking in prepares them for the challenges ahead the ever changing world critical thinking is key the toxic putin class is dismissed and associate churkin our party wanted principled person to read her post told a russian t.v. channel the britain's most go bashing campaign in fact on pearl right now. if they knew that what we're seeing now is unprecedented affront or even think there's never been a case where a country's being accused of something which the accusers cannot even articulate themselves and they're not even trying to articulate it all i can say is this whole case is unprecedented it verges on a sort of gangsterism in international affairs as to what's behind this it's either the ukase internal issues all the problems london may be facing in relation with its allies or maybe something else that's probably none of our business we're

focused on how to handle this provocation president putin is keeping a cool head in this situation and unlike his british counterpart isn't going beyond diplomatically appropriate rhetoric putin laid out his position of the very beginning he said our internal affairs are our first and foremost priority and the poisoning incident happened on british soil you have to first get your facts straight at home before firing off accusations upset me. france was struck by terrorism again friday when a government hijacked a car and took hostages at a supermarket in a small southern town three people died that day while the fourth succumbed to his injuries on saturday the attacker had pledged allegiance to islamic state and was eventually shot dead by special forces.

in the movie 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 still with a handgun in one hand and a knife in the other and yelling allahu akbar for years. after that i took my wife and my sister in law in some customers nearby and were going to look for shelter i put them in a butcher's fridge closed from the inside. because it's peaceful here where it's seedy like any other he was very kind very sociable adorable he overheard sweets to the children and he is a terrorist. the terrorist has been identified he was killed during his solo and investigation will have to answer some

important questions when and how was he radicalized and how and when did he procure the weapon. we have for several years paid with our blood to know the terrorist menace. among those who died was police officer our noble trum who swap places with a female hostage he left a mobile phone switched on for the authorities to listen in when special forces heard gunshots then they stormed the place the firm trauma be wounded and he died in hospital on saturday morning he's being held a national hero now over the past year alone hathor have been repeated terror attacks and thought attempts in france let's just remind ourselves of the grim times stand in favor. twenty seventeen a man attempted to enter the museum in paris with a machete you may recall then one of the attackers after that was stopped at all the airport a month later then a police officer was shot dead last april. and last october two young women was stabbed to death at a railway station in mass

a former british intelligence officer only mushroom says the fact that the gunman this time was under police surveillance exposes therefore wider failures it's part of the passing that we're seeing emerging across europe over the last few years of people carrying out these low tech type of attacks with high. rates. of course on the radar of at least the t.v. if not indeed of the intelligence agencies 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 are pulling teeth it's hard to see what all fronts can do i mean they had a state of emergency declared after better plan attacks all the palace is still there in france it just changed the name they changed the terminology and yet all those powers are still preventing and the security agencies police who are protecting their french systems so i fail to see how much more they can do. news

coming in or afternoon from a town in central russia or a huge fire at a shopping mall is killed at least five people in the central russian city of camera of a correspondent hawkins' cross it's been a huge fire there isn't a lot of people dead. so looking pretty serious the way things are covered of course this fire came through. this morning in the early afternoon and it's been taken so long to get a controlled to show the scale of the whole thing as you say took place in. south central russia in a shopping center or one of the top floors on the fourth floor to be precise on the exact source still hasn't been fully identified with certainty but we're getting news in from the deputy governor. in the region saying that potentially may have taken place in entertainment area for children looks like is one of these multi-screen cinema bowling places big isn't exactly where there was multiple trampoline rooms ball pit cinema was even a petting zoo where missed out on the floor on the fourth floor there we understand

the preliminary cause right now was accident with a lighter and what happened was the foam in that ball put in the trampoline zone caught fire very quickly and spread we're getting you know witness accounts of a real panic in russia as people try to clear get the children of harm's way tried to exit their thick black smoke filling the corridors no real scenes of panic inside we saw quite dramatic video earlier of people even jumping from floors trying to escape you see that black smoke coming out the roof the lot of plastics them and they are absolutely thick black putrid smoke and obviously the fire service as we see there put special trampolines out side windows of people try to make their escape as best they can very dramatic scenes there in terms of casualties confirmed so far from the emergency ministry this five casualties one child three women and one man over thirty have been taken to hospital presumably many of them will be suffering quite serious inhalation injuries as well it's the

weekend presumably. children to a guest with a very busy busy time but of course that brings me on to the next point which is the figures we're getting preliminary at least from the emergency ministry of dozens of people missing in the center unaccounted for as of yet that figure could go up it could go down but what's more most tragic about this is that number contains a lot of miners children we're getting ages seven eleven fifty more than half of these unaccounted people are children. we've got additional merchants workers drafted in from the surrounding areas from local cities got the head of the russian emergency ministry on the way. on his way there to control the situation well it looks like i will say that of the worst the flames rather think they've got a handle on it but it still kind of a live event is still underway and it was burning for for several hours obviously before the farmer got control of the fire but localized it has been contained but

of course now the process of search and rescue search and recovery will take place hopefully as many as possible of those people will be accounted for her fingers crossed for them or i don't think spruce up their memory said story from ken river today thank you. facebook news again today facebook's mark zuckerberg is taking out a series of ads now in sending newspapers in the u.s. and the u.k. apologizing for failing to protect users data it follows those claims of course that the private information of tens of millions of people was collected without their permission and therefore exploited to for political gain jacqueline who has got the latest. several u.k. and american newspapers featured full page apologies from facebook boss mark zuckerberg the ad states this was a breach of trust and i'm sorry while promising to do better in the future that's after having written a post online about the changes the company will be making and saying facebook has learned its lesson during a c.n.n. interview we need to make sure that there aren't any other cambridge general because out there right or folks who have improperly access data you know we need

to make sure that we don't make that mistake ever again but not everyone is buying what zuckerberg is selling this cartoonist gave his responses a big thumbs down mocking the statements more than anything it reads i'm sorry that we've been forced to stop ignoring these data breaches and they aren't alone in thinking that facebook has some explaining to do as dr burke has been called to testify both in the u.s. and the u.k. on the situation now the whole scandal is centered around the british data gathering firm called cambridge analytic dated they collected was involved in donald trump's presidential campaign and possibly others as well the whole story blew up when it came to light that the company allegedly mined fifty million facebook profiles for its operations while its parent company was reportedly involved in psycho social studies for the u.k. defense ministry cambridge analytical is now under investigation its offices have been raided and its chief executive has been suspended the company denies any and all wrongdoing the scandal has also led to a backlash against the social network facebook's share price plunged to

a four year low and the company is now facing multiple lawsuits from shareholders over on twitter meanwhile the delete facebook has been trending with some high profile people joining in as the fear of breach privacy is at the front of everyone's minds the point is being missed here it's not cambridge analytic it's the fact that facebook is a tool a proxy if you will of that government and it just. it it was it was conceived it sudar book to see. money this this phase oh do you think they use the information to gauge their i view the me facebook apple everything that we do is basically sucking up every bit of information that we have. still to come on the weekly protests or up to the boss alone to supporting the former president to give us love coming home where it's going to go right after

this break. 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 that will be more effective against russian forces. but politicians do sometimes. put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. some want to be rich. but you going to be this is what before you know more people. interested

in the water. there should. connect with the whole catalonia spot as thousands strong rally in support of the former president of catalonia karla's purged a man there's been some violence there in central barcelona with police and protesters clashing those latest pictures. i. think. if it is really really hot the moment overseas in roy good try to disperse the crowds using bad news the protesters called after mr

urgent was arrested by german police earlier this are also calling on madrid to end its crackdown on the other key figures behind the spanish regents into polish push let's remember ninety two percent of the people in the region voted for it the deposed leader was detained on the border with iraq is the latest he's now in custody in germany he had fled his country after holding the vote on succession last october which had been ruled illegal by madrid international arrest warrant was then reissued again by spain on friday which the months wanted there on charges of rebellion and sedition wrap it up when the issues southie and we've got some live coming coming up. the former catalan president colors push a man has been detained in germany he's wanted in spain on charges of sedition and rebellion and was held after crossing the border from denmark on his way to belgium now german police have confirmed his arrest and he said to be in a local police station awaiting his legal team since thursday pushing on his being on a visit to helsinki university in finland to give

a lecture there on his way back to belgium and jim authorities arrested him off to spain reissued his arrest warrant but his lawyer tweeted that he was returning to belgium to be of course at the disposal of the belgian justice system there has been living in self-imposed exile in belgium that's after leading the pro independence referendum last year which was deemed illegal by the spanish authorities this was a vote that cause tensions across the region with accusations of police violence as well now tensions have still been running high in the region with rallies taking place from time to time and calls for the release of other political prisoners as well as the return of college tuition one could face up to thirty years in prison in spain on the spot. support and sign documents for patients extradition. escalade to pass flown to barcelona and read folks the secretary of the international sanctions the capital and solidarity for independence coalition hey thanks for being with us today well the twists and turns here is hard to keep up with it

madrid's already moved a course to get mr purge to more extradited how soon do you think he'll be brought back to spain from belgium or will germany actually stand at the moment. i think someone know will not give his consent to the extent of it that easily and then will start the just this process in germany to insiders about their core explosion or not let it out of his or is it in terms of your monthly lease etc yes this is this is. something about two or three months of. back to go. in the case that the. chairman just missed. how deeply they investigate on the case because of course we consider this case not not in spain it is something that in the kitchen of. prosecutors in the not on the just this normal way. it's that there's an e.u.

arrest warrant out for him why is this rest warrant issued and then retracted and then issued again what's madrid doing here why did it change its mind. well the situation requires that first of all it was his first demanding to all coalesced here in belgium it was because. he was not going at the clean off. justice it means that if your don't go to the justice on that moment you can be arrested two people to the position of the justice i clearly the situation needs different situation needs because all the process of instruction it was done and then now he's committed to. give explanations about a process finish of instruction and now that's why they issue again.

he had the vast majority of the people in his part of the world behind it was ninety two percent in favor of that vote why doesn't he just go home and this might be simplistic but why doesn't he just go to madrid and answer the questions what what what what does he fear will happen to me feels he'll be locked up dizzy. but but the question is not to answer about about the process you are saying if you must put it in march of. a democratic process. claimant because. she was making not this democratic process he was making these democratic process against of the bondy of the government and that's why the justice now persecute deeds and then they installed a week of become quantity of issues against what i'm trying to say in his part of the world he had the majority of the people in his part of the world behind

him it's a big old affluent chunk of spain surely that does count to have the public opinion behind you there would should we just go to madrid and trumpet or something i can't stay on the run forever kony. what what what do you mean should he just go back to madrid and try and barter some way forward because he can't be on the run in europe forever kenny. yes of course because. he must go all around europe and to explain it's just. a commitment to explain what was happening in europe what was happening in fallujah and how is the reason of spain to go against him it's his commitment he's the president of he was elected he was making something where two million people was going to vote and now he must face on the justice because of these he needs to gold to europe to a strain about the situation of what kind of democracy is in spain and how it

can be move or how it can be explained easily in spain it is not possible to explain with somebody who don't want to listen you obviously the mere government in madrid has got another view but thank you for telling us about the latest news is seeing it there the sex of the international section for catalan solidarity for independence coalition british eight times thank you thank you very much. to russia from results of the russian presidential election were announced friday able to put into a coma seventy seven percent of the vote in the end to secure his fourth term in the kremlin and his decisive victories already got many questioning just how might longer he will be in the top job. thank you but the moment i'm not planning any constitutional changes with this case if there was more than this do you think you will be in the presidential seat until twenty thirty or that of course if you change the constitution to get the court's. decision that i think what you're saying is lawful i'm not going to study there until i turn one hundred the result

was putin's biggest ever election win with the other seven challengers left behind the communist party's millionaire caliber probably dean and finished second in ultra nationalists. and liberal social x. any subject came third and fourth respectively and flamboyant unorthodox hopefuls were the only highlight of the contest. i'm. going to. put such a. beautiful face or look at him on the list the same it.

was the little fellow who made. up for the news from this past week with me kevin zero in thanks for watching. time buddy mailbag of these charges i need them i get. them but i think. that again that i mean by my money i mean god. walking me to be. in the mood to do a job to him a job you just had the image is consistent if you want. to. know but i'm actually good at the way i was going to get a license to be getting. cases in

a row and i think good for you. allowing. for a world cup twenty eighteen coverage we've signed one of the greatest gold. but there was one more question and by the way it's going to be our coach. guys i know you are nervous he's a huge star among us and the huge amount of pressure you have to go meet the center of the beach will probably be with you and will show you all the great the great you are the rock at the back nobody gets past you we need you to get the ball going let's go. a low as i want to you know and i'm really happy to join the team for the two thousand and three and world cup in russia meet this special one it was also appreciated me to just say to

review the aussie team's latest addition to the big i don't need to look. for. a. clone of welcome to worlds apart president trump's hiring and firing practices have long stopped to surprise but their recent designations first of my compare as the secretary of state and then of john bolton as the national security adviser did leave an impression on friends and foes alike what can we expect from old the president's men well to discuss that i'm now joined by michael o'hanlon senior

fellow at the brookings institution mr howland it's good to talk to you thank you very much for being here my pleasure thanks for having me now the trumpet ministrations h.r. policies have been unconventional from the very start but it says that now is a high time for letting people go and bringing new people on board do you see that as a random coincidence. or is there a reason this strategy to all of these appointments happening right now well as you know there was a lot of turnover last year throughout much of the white house staff in particular but i do think that there is a purpose to changing both the secretary of state and the national security adviser in the same month i don't think that could be a coincidence and i think part of what's happening is the president has decided that he knows what kind of personalities he likes to work with he senses that he had ok relations.
