if from. i least three people are injured in a shooting at the headquarters of you tube in california police say that the female shooter has taken her own life. british scientists and say that they are unable to pinpoint the source of the nerve agent used in the poisoning of a russian double agent and his daughter. we have no verify the precise source but we provided the scientific information to the government. that's despite the u.k. and its allies squarely blaming russia resulting in the weeks a long political standoff and diplomatic expulsions. it amazes me how far the russian hysteria has come about so morally going to be she seized again from the street on this whole situation. and the clashes erupted in paris as well

workers launch a nationwide strike against president drive to overhaul the state funded transport industry. by broadcasting live direct from our studios in moscow this is our two international john thomas certainly glad to have you with us now at least three people are injured after a shooting at the you tube headquarters in san bruno california according to police the female attacker has died of self-inflicted injuries samir khan has more san bruno police have confirmed that one person has died of the police chief said that they were still investigating but they found a woman dead with a quote self-inflicted wound that could definitely be the shooter the others were taken to nearby hospitals and now it is no longer being treated as an active

shooter situation and this all happened after gunshots were reported just outside of youtube's head. quarters in northern california san bruno california it's just south of san francisco but armed police swat goals and helicopters quickly surrounded the facility and the facility was under lockdown now we don't know any more details about the shooter but this all comes amid a national gun control debate so we'll just have to see if this strengthens the argument for more gun control. we can now bring in jack quinn crowd who is an assistant professor of public justice have the state university of new york and an expert on mass shootings thanks for being with us here on our two international. and we should point out and i guess you're the person to ask this doesn't technically qualify as a mass shooting as of yet but. what we do know so far is that a woman shot and injured three people before taking her own life authorities

apparently do not believe this was an act of terrorism. what does it look like to you. you know in terms of whether or not it qualifies as a mass shooting that certainly is going to depend on the definition that once using from the data we collected we certainly would qualify as you know it's very early in the investigation not a lot is known about this particular incident but the fact that the shooter is a female is extremely rare. now. you tube it's a multibillion dollar tech company owned by google in fact should we read anything into this choice of target or. could this be something as simple as a lover's quarrel. you know even more in the likely it may be workplace related i think we're going to have to certainly instantly investigation comes forward to see if she was an employee of the company but typically we see female shooters to choose opportunity early how opportunities that are familiar to them

schools workplaces and the like so that's definitely something that will hear as the investigation gets further it. one thing that we've seen in the united states unfortunately we have. in the u.s. a wide range of experience if you will to draw from and so that we can know what these situations are. the you tube headquarters itself is supposed to be a gun free zone. taking that to other examples is it surprising that an armed person could apparently be acting alone and get through a security perimeter like this not at all when we see you know these types of events we're certainly seeing that individuals are choosing these types of soft targets where there's less likely they're less likely to encounter any sort shit with either armed individuals gun free zones tend to be very popular among mass shooters because they're going to have less restriction or less friction for them to be able to carry out their plans. i would be i wouldn't really be doing my job

if i didn't bring up the fact that this shooting occurs in the middle of a national debate on gun control in the u.s. in the wake of the park when school massacre the teenagers there are adding voice and fuel to this fire do you think that this especially because it's google. i mean the shooting could taking place anywhere else in the united states and not have gotten as much media attention but because it's called google and you tube do you think that this is going to add to that political debate and maybe get some action done in the u.s. . you know certainly we have never seen a shooting this type prominent location in terms of being a workplace if it does turn out to be a workplace shooting you know exactly google and you tube are certainly you know very high profile. and of course you tube has been in the news with the fact that the parkland shooter had posted comments on there about being a professional shooter so you know it certainly raises this is fission about

whether this is a symbolic target of sorts so jacqueline shilled crowd an assistant professor of public justice at the state university of new york we hope as we get more information on this one and as other shootings take place unfortunately in the u.s. if we can come back to to get some of your knowledge absolutely and you know how all right thanks for being with us. all right now the switching gears now head of a british military laboratory says it is unable to determine the source of a nerve agent used to poison a former russian double agent and his daughter a month ago that is despite u.k. government having already pointed the finger at russia we know verify the precise source but we provide it to the scientific information to the government but you have not been able to establish porton down that this was made in russia as i said it's our job to provide eat you know the scientific evidence

that identifies for the particular nature of each and is but it's not our job to and see where actually was money five shots are typically you will not tell you bill important down to say where it is from we haven't yet been able to do that on the findings from the porton down the laboratory appeared to directly contradict a statement from the u.k. foreign minister here earlier told a german state broadcaster that the lab had identified russia as the source of the nerve agent. but when i look at the the evidence from the people from from portland they were absolutely categorical and i asked the guy myself i said are you sure and he said. well despite the inconclusive findings from the military laboratory the u.k. government insists it always knew russia had a hand in this creep our case our he's an associate explains. almost immediately we're seeing some damage control taking place from the foreign office who have come

out with a statement that says that this is only part of the intelligence picture they said that over the last decade russia has worked on ways to deliver agents quote probably for assassinations that russia has a record of assassinations and that it is quote our assessment that russia was responsible for this brazen and reckless act and as the international community agrees there is no other plausible explanation this despite the statements that have been now made here in the u.k. today and of course it's important to remember that this whole time all we've been hearing is that russia is to blame russia is culpable that it's highly likely that it went to there's no question that it's not russia still with no evidence proof or real facts or samples even provided to russia that it's been asking for however the accusations really have been harsh here in westminster is highly likely that russia was responsible we do hold russia koku culpable culpable for the attempted murder

case is culpable calling. and we think it will mean you like to do it was his decision so those were statements from the british prime minister from the u.k. foreign secretary also at some point throughout this whole ordeal we heard the u.k. defense minister say something like russia should shut off and go away in this kind of tone indicating no room for negotiation and there was one voice however which was the leader of the opposition party german corbet he wondered whether there is room for dialogue or conversation or at least providing some information to russia as a result trace analysis been run on the some of the nerve agents and has not revealed any evidence as to the location of which production or the identity of which perpetrators. and the i.o.c. spending. and. does the prime minister agree that it is essential to maintain

a robust war with russia and most of those questions certainly remained unanswered and russia hasn't seen samples or any of the questions that jeremy corbyn had raised there in fact facing criticism himself or even asking those questions in parliament his position was extremely unpopular what we have at this point is again this is a war tory in the u.k. that are saying no proof of russia we don't know the source we know that there's a police investigation ongoing in the police have said quite recently that it's very likely to take weeks if not months we've also of course know that the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons the o.p.c. w have been in the u.k. to conduct an investigation of their own russia has been asking to hear what they have found so while all of these investigations are ongoing yet the accusations have certainly come we before any facts have been presented so far. we discussed the findings and latest developments in the screwball case with our guest who's with their district. it's abject humiliation of the british government the prime

minister and in particular boris johnson the foreign secretary in fact for him i believe this is a resigning matter because he didn't just join in the chorus of blame russia he lived on national television on the broadcast of the b.b.c. he said i have spoken to the. porton down the very guy who made brief statements today on behalf of porton down and he said the guy told him that it was russia that did it could only have been russia that did this was what is known a mistake it was a lie we're learning now through wiki leaks that actually the u.k. and the u.s. have been aware of the book which does show how

a modern chemistry lab can make this particular next generation age of the u.k. and u.s. have been aware of the significance of the book and have been trying to suppress knowledge of that book so clearly for a decade now the u.k. and the us have known that it can be made elsewhere it appears that they have just rushed in as a p.r. type. action and i think that's really dangerous because we are in a fatal diplomatic situation with syria we have with the trade with the u.s. and china as well i think it's a very reckless thing steve has done and i'm not quite sure why they did it i mean perhaps it's because of practice it wanted to puff themselves off as a big animal in the in say i don't know but you know it's just not a terribly sensible things the u.k. has done at this point. earlier my colleague kevin owen discussed the script all case and president putin's reaction to it with our tease me gusta. well putin

he's we didn't numerous times now on the script all case he said that you know scotland yard said that they had two months before the they established a clear picture of what exactly happened so it's a long investigation nevertheless putin said there is easily a media eight p.r. campaign underway what was it amazes me how fast this anti russia hysteria has come about tomorrow we're calling in o.p.c. w meeting to get the facts straight on this whole situation is being put in you know which we have proposed at least twenty questions for their consideration we hope a final conclusion will be reached there as to what happened in so. of course we're interested in a comprehensive investigation the interesting thing to me putin said is that twenty countries no less than twenty countries have the capacity have advanced enough enough chemical programs to make the nova chalke nerve agents there's there's

a home multitude dozens and dozens of different ones united under the name we're told initially the initial vibe was it would just be maybe a couple of countries that number's going up the well of course it was the what you got the picture you got from the media from british politicians is that no big shock is what it was russia was never a couple yeah right only russia could make it we've had interesting revelations important down today the head was asked whether britain has its own stockpiles of newbie chalks and he refused to answer the question he refused to comment he but he did that nothing escaped nothing got out from his laboratory indicating that you know presumably britain does have its own stockpiles whether they synthesize them or procured them by other means because there's a whole wealth of evidence to support this i was talking to

a number of military chemists researches and the military chemical laboratory here in moscow and they you know as experts they had a few interesting details to share. as for the group of toxic agents known under the umbrella term novacek we first came across them in open sources back in two thousand and seven that's when the publication was made in the u.s. when multitude of formulas were included with as many as sixty toxic agents there each of them was assigned an index in the chemical expert system so they're all available in open sources these formulas and no secret. if it's true and not the chalk we're dealing with here i must say it's no real problem to synthesize such a toxic agent all the components needed to easily available on the open market the synthesis doesn't call for particular sophisticated procedures either and it can especially rising in organic chemistry would be able to make it. good conscience

because when we have zero information what toxic agent we're dealing with that is still possible to identify it applying a lot of resources and the process is likely to take a few weeks according to british authorities the experts were able to do so very quickly so i assume the british chemists already had samples of such toxic agents the disposal so that they could compare the poison a tant with those samples i mean that deserve a great explanation but just in case there's any confusion basically what he's saying is that the fact that the british identified never took so fast means they had it in their database they had already measured it in the past they had the identification it's mass spectrum which is how they managed to identify it so quickly which of course you know sort of soils the theory that only russia has the know how and when asked he would not deny that they didn't have that important exactly the head of porton down did not deny that they had in their possession over

trucks or that they had synthesized. develop them so plenty of twists and turns in this story. all right a real struggle is causing transport chaos in france that story and much more may come back to watch march internet it's.

wrong. just don't call. out. how to. find themselves worlds apart. to look for common ground. mark this is aren't an international no protests have swept across france as rail workers launch a strike against president micron's labor reforms in more than two thousand students gathered outside the station in support of the strikers police used tear gas to break up the crowd. was

was a. little. was. was. meanwhile in paris there was a tense standoff between rail workers and police or to show difference it was their force. if you just look behind you get a sense of the police who are out in force this is the gendarmerie and the c r s who are here to try and stop the demonstrators from going down streets and not meant to we've already seen clashes from those at the front of the demonstration they appear to be members of the anti father or the black boxes they known here in france has been smashing up businesses throwing bottles at the police and setting the lights have been seen what you see normally from these guys is they try to have as much provocation to the police of the c.r.'s as possible and then we see

obviously the c.r.'s returning that in kind sometimes a tear gas no tear gas as of yesterday but we are expecting things to stay heated now as if you can see in the background there is a a large group behind me this is the front of the crowds many of them have their faces covered because they don't want people to be able to identify them in fact when we were trying to film some of the devastation that they were cool saying just in the last half an hour they physically came up and stopped just from filming and told us we were not to film anybody breaking all damaging any businesses until they had finished and fled the scene. politically like you know. this is of course meant to be a strike by the ensigns yes this is the way it works here in france also efforts to offer on strike as well as some other elements of society that they're unhappy with

my son's plans to change to create the the railways here in front saying that the proposals being cool by macaroons government will lead to the privatisation over the rail of mint has denied that in fact so yes the strikes ongoing today this is the first day of around thirty six days of strike between now and the end of june this is a huge. right between the unions to decide whether the unions still have the kind of power that they assume you see it exists here in france and of course malcolm six emanation to push through his policy for the moment this is yet another violent protest with clashes between the protesters at the front and also at the c.r.s. the police here in fronts. thousands of women rallied in yemen on monday against the saudi military intervention which has been going on for the past five years. the

protest was sparked by the rape of a local girl allegedly carried out by a soldier fighting in a saudi coalition about a march was being cited what planes bombed a port on yemen's east coast killing several civilians and warning you may find some of the following images disturbing. that is a missed approach we were home having breakfast safe and sound when the coalition hit the apartment building on neighborhoods in his car and he left it and ran bridge and when he came to take his family on the second strike hits women were running in all directions it was a huge strike. and hearing a little more. we are not currently working with eight ourselves but

just that we know that people are struggling. to travel the long distances to the hospitals or very concerned this. case because we just have temperatures what what we have seen the last year is the urgency to see how tricky a. big college or outbreak later. these are clear signs that the situation. that at your age there is still a lack of taxes to care. for restrictions. need to be leased it as well as vital supplies food fuel. to the country and. governments donor governments. to try to stop these workers.

airstrike comes days after the u.s. defense secretary told reporters that the pentagon is advising saudi arabia on how to avoid civilian casualties in yemen the u.s. has a long history of supporting the coalition including weapons sales artie's daniel hawkins explains here many civil war has been described as the worst manmade humanitarian crisis in decades it will surprise all parties involved want a swift effective resolution also they say they will continue to work together for the stability of the region reinvigorate. we. were in yemen and we were you will regard perhaps the supporters part of the whole ending the war plan the peaceful resolution may come later and attempt in the u.s. senate to limit military support ultimately failed some will argue that american troops are not out there shooting and getting shot at well. please tell that to the

people of yemen whose homes and lives are being destroyed by weapons made in the usa on top gets chosen with u.s. assistance general mattis argues that sending less arms to the region could actually do more harm than good and interesting take given that amnesty international drew precisely the opposite conclusion sizing a correlation between arms flows into the conflict hotspots and mounting civilian casualties the question though of how exactly the u.s. military ensures their support stays in line with us values remains open does come track the purpose of the nations that it is refueling what targets it strikes and the results of that mission senator we do not ok on the up side according to a master tool are the saudis are making progress and learning lessons from the u.s. counterparts we've provided training to the saudis and law of armed conflict how to

conduct operations in a way to make absolutely certain that you're taking all necessary measures to avoid any collateral damage and we see now that the saudis are starting to slowly adopt some of the measures that we've suggested too slowly perhaps for the people of yemen with ever allowed to warnings about the ongoing catastrophe falling on deaf ears. our that does it for me i will be back in about well let's say thirty four minutes for the full get you news you're watching or to international students.

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 who's going to be our coach. guys i know you on the us he's a huge star among us and the huge amount of pressure you have to the center of the problem here with you and you go all the great the great you are the rock at the back nobody gets past you we need you to get going let's go. alone. and i'm really happy to join the for the two thousand and three in the world cup in russia meet the special one i was also appreciate me to just say to redo the team's latest edition to make up a bigger. look. make this manufactured team sentenced to the public well. when the ruling

classes protect themselves. in the final clearing go round the sun be the one. time we can all middle of the room see. the real. hello and welcome to cross talk where all things are considered i'm peter lavelle words have consequences and threatening actions can be very dangerous this is the

atmosphere engulfing the west relations with russia the poisoning incident in the u.k. has yet to be explained to the public but this is not stop the british and american governments from playing the role of judge jury and executioner. across talking toxic relations i'm joined by my guest charles shu bridge in london he is a security analyst and a former u.k. army and counterterrorism intelligence officer in brussels we have any michelle and she is a former british intelligence officer and writer and in washington we cross to james chatteris he is a former advisor to the u.s. senate republican leadership all right as always crosstalk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want and i always appreciate any let me go to you first in brussels you know the lot you were only on last week but the more we learn about what happened with this poisoning incident there's only been one thing that has been consistent russia did it everything else keeps changing it's very fluid

except for the conclusion reflect upon that any place well the more we know. apparently because we have a situation where one. potential chain too they had to. have time to notice but second to last in terms of a classic investigation technique. within a few hours the british media was saying it must be russia because he's a russian spy and within a week the russian government saying it was russia so we have a situation where things have escalated ass control in hugely fast ways and to date a month later we still don't even know exactly how the so-called substance was applied to these two people it was supposed to be incredibly toxic substance but two of the victims have survived and are recovering and scriptural himself is apparently in a stable condition.
