large sections of the roof collapsed of the sixty four people who died almost two thirds were children as the school holidays just begun. borrow from one was. moving on to other news the u.k. has released a new national security strategy outlining the major challenges to the country and ranking mosco alongside islamic terror on its list of strengths the policy focuses on strengthening defense and the armed forces it also emphasizes using the full range of its capabilities including intelligence and economic weapons to counter enemies while russia has been branded a threat and accused of hybrid warfare artie's anastasio check into has more. but the national security capabilities review that the british government released today of course does not fail to mention russia it's

a fifty two page document that talks about all sorts of threats and issues that the u.k. is faced with from cyber attacks to terrorism to crime to increasing all of the possible measures they can take to be able to take steps against all of those threats now among some of the means that the u.k. plans to use when it comes to soft power is the quote investing two hundred ninety one million pounds to twenty twenty in the b.b.c. world service to increase access to trusted news and information and they say that the soft power will be. used to project our values and add advanced u.k. interests and indeed russia is mentioned in this report thirteen times the word russian is used nine times and it's being listed among threats such as north korea and iran the document goes on to say that the indiscriminate and reckless use of a military grade nerve agent on british soil was an unlawful use of force by the

russian state they talk about a well established pattern of russian state aggression assess a sustained campaign of cyber espionage and disruption including meddling in elections and those are listed along with other acute threats as is being described such as islamic terrorism human trafficking piracy crime and instability in the first place with treason by a prime minister actually in one paragraph she says the threat is from islamic state north korea and then she says russia we're right to reveal our security we have to review every country in this plan to travel russia in with north korea and we islamic study often she's out of step with the ordinary man and woman on the streets of the united kingdom and they want to to confirm. there is a cyber war being waged by russia. just cleaves what relieves the evidence

if the evidence points clearly to russia and indeed to vladimir putin are be the first to condemn russia and him but we have not seen the evidence well tension between the two countries has been escalating for weeks following the poisoning of double agent said again and his daughter yulia in the english city of salzburg british investigators now say the highest concentrations of the suspected nerve agent novacek are believed have been found on the script front door the investigation is also focusing on key locations such as the park bench where sergei and his daughter were found unconscious their car where they ate that day and their home address scotland yard detectives also reiterated the probe it may take once well service going to bow is a former russian intelligence agent he was stripped of his rank after spying for the u.k. and shells for espionage before be released or sources say

a script and his daughter were poisoned by a nerve agent of a time produced in the soviet union. moscow however denies any involvement in the poisoning and accuses london of a campaign to blame russia now powerpoint slides have been revealed which form the basis on which the us and half the support of britain's expulsion of russian diplomats the six lines of focus on accusations against moscow they described the nerve agent allegedly used and blame russia for the attack without providing any proof the so-called evidence includes claims of previous malicious activity by moscow these include cyber attacks alleged election interference and what the presentation calls the occupation of crimea where russia's foreign ministry describes the claims as speculation and branded them the product of an organized political campaign without any evidence and not even presenting any concrete snorri

of what happened along the accused russia of poisoning its own citizens speculated about the chemical substance never used in russia and organized an extensive political media campaign it inspired the baseless expulsion of russian diplomats from a number of countries and international organizations announced the range of the sanctions are lawful request to provide some pools of the substance use there were ignored or political commentator john white says the slide show is based on presumptions rather than proof and the evidence in this dodgy dossier two point war is over tapes or thirteen that it would not be sufficient to convict a man of stealing a loaf of bread out of a supermarket it is based on nothing more than speculation and supposition the government in the u.k. nor that this evidence is thin with regards to its claim that russia was a sponsible for the poisoning of sergei scruple and his daughter yulia this is why

it's included in this dorsey catalogue of alleged other infractions committed by the the russians. now we can expand our julian assange has had his internet connection cut off and isn't being allowed visits at the ecuadorian embassy in london in response there have been online calls for a songes supporters to protest outside the building while the hash tag reconnect union is now trending online one of the statements the ecuadorian embassy says although his means of communication have been suspended since monday it took the measure after assad failed to honor an agreement not to comment on alleged interference concerning other states while the embassy says such actions by the whistleblower could damage ecuador's ties with other nations when i could or says it's also considering further measures against a son the decision came not long after he posted this tweet he criticized britain's handling of the script case it's circumstantial evidence and the lack of

independent confirmation from the organization for the preservation of chemical weapons the tweet sparked a swift reaction in the british parliament this is because of great regret that julian assange remains in the ecuador embassy it is people even deeper regret that even last night he was tweeting against her majesty's government for their conduct in replying to the attack in salzburg it's about time that this miserable little worm walked out of the embassy and gave himself up to british justice. well the m.p. and minister's comments didn't go unanswered with a soldier responding on twitter as a political prisoner detained without charge for eight years in violation of two un rulings i suppose i must be miserable nothing wrong with being a little person although i'm rather tall and better a worm a healthy creature that invigorates the soil than a snake. well gene in a sound is the founder of the whistle blowing web site wiki leaks which has exposed

millions of confidential documents over the years he sought refuge in the ecuadorian embassy in london twenty twelve after being accused of rape in sweden a case dropped by stock. which human rights activist peter tatchell things ecuador's government felt pressured into taking action against a song. there does appear to be disquiet in ecuador over the fact that julius r. and that a number of tweets about the issue of cattle independence i suspect that the spanish are you know threatening all or. putting some undue pressure on it good or that has forced us into this position after all journalists was granted political asylum by god or he was granted citizenship and a diplomatic passport and as a citizen of ecuador he is entitled to the same freedom of expression as every other ecuadorian citizen affectively he is now being held in isolation and

unjustified and very draconian response to a handful of tweets. now members of the jewish community in france are some do alarm over the rise of and he said it isn't in the country it follows last week's brutal killing of a delta the holocaust survivor several jewish organizations have called for a fully transparent investigation into the case which is the latest in a string of violent incidents in protests what's been described as a silent march has been underway in paris. there are lots of reasons one being hate anti-semitism another being the rise of islamic fundamentalists who create growing hatred and ill feeling who give the impression that this state can cope and stop it's why i'm here with an operation this was not an ordinary criminal it was inspired by anti-semitism and that we are attacked children and people this is trying to make of real estate here she was jewish this issue is really serious.

what's important is that this message goes to the most remote villages of braun's all the jewish people should know that they are protected by the national community and that all love will never run dry well the last speaker there left wing go show you the militia or wasn't the only politician. join the march as national front leader mally in the pen arrived scuffles broke out some saying she and her pastor you wouldn't welcome the national front has been associated with racism in the past with accusations of holocaust denial and hate speech and that's trying to change that reputation. no was an eighty five year old holocaust survivor she narrowly escaped a nazi ordered roundup of jews in the french capital in one hundred forty two and last week she was stabbed multiple times before being set on fire in her participant two men have been arrested and charged in connection with the case a religious motive has been slighted by also richie's knol son daniel has been left

completely stunned by the crime. it's. unbelievable. listen. to old room. eighty five year old parkinson she can move she has no money. why you kill. her you can do that. i have no answer. chorister figures show a large increase in anti semitic violence in france reported incidents jumped by twenty six percent last year alone there's also been a significant surge in the desecration of jewish places of worship and burial sites around forty thousand jews are estimated to have left the country since two thousand and six with many blaming a growing hostility jewish community advisor e.v.f. a bitch believed in and again the community of course is marching in the streets of

paris again and again the government and the institutions of course trained to help and to assist the jewish community as they are not capable really to provide. security to women two main two kids you cannot you cannot put a policeman be an every jew in france many jews are asking what will be the future because they cannot continue to march in paris and to get tears and to get flowers . from the government because it's not enough it's not the bringing back to life. nor the level of the sea the limmy or so many young jews has been killed in the last years. thousands of people have also filled the streets have gone as capital across are protesting against the expansion of defense cooperation with the united states. that was.

the new military deal was approved by first didn't know on that hopeful i doze government last week there was a twenty million dollar investment from the u.s. in equipment and training for the gun a an army it also includes joint exercises with ghana on the right to use the nation's radio frequencies and wrong ways the agreement has been heavily criticized by the opposition who say it infringes gonna stop until after the cars got here and citizens to demonstrate against the decision by our presidents to me to sign and i commented that it was government to bring the army to train our country was an aside her seat darcis again why can't you tell the story that is why i decided to call for each one lecture just to be present to the watcher issue. we spoke with also and historian gerald horne and african affairs analyst lawrence freeman facing

guardians have good reasons to be furious with the deal. the question is that the command military be allowed to use united states radio frequencies the united states of america the answer would be flatly no this is a one sided deal on one side of the arrangement keep in mind as well that us oil giants have been exploring all show or from god and reportedly have discovered many fines in terms of petroleum and i dare say that these u.s. oil giants are also concerned about protecting their investments in west africa and there who are they would also demand and desire enhanced and increased u.s. military role. washington really is shrunk from its responsibilities in the world. instead of hoping african countries develop their economic power. by investing in infrastructure development

group energy ports united states has increasingly relied on military emetic warfare to fight terrorists and this doesn't work because the reason these terrorists are able to recruit is because of the who are economic conditions at virtually drive the young people into the hands of a terrorist small amount of money. i'll be back with the latest headlines in just over half an hour meanwhile for more on one of our stories.
