launch a nationwide strike against president micron's drive to overhaul the state funded to transport industry. broadcasting live direct from our studios in moscow this is r t international i'm sean thomas glad to have you with us at least three people are injured after a shooting at the you tube headquarters in san bruno california this according to the police and the female attacker has died of self-inflicted injuries are. as 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 you tube's headquarters in northern california san bruno california it's just a 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 or we are asked to mass shootings expert jacqueline crowd and security policy analyst michael maloof for their views on the case. types of events we're certainly seeing that individuals are choosing these types of soft targets where there is less likely they're less likely to encounter any sort or action with other armed individuals are 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 the gun free zone. what does that mean

bad guys or people who are determined to shoot somebody else don't care about a gun free zone people can use anything almost for a weapon but something that creates a lot of havoc over a short period of time a firearm is the best way to go about that and and if if they can implement more stringent security at the doors whether it's a school or an office building where a lot of people congregate who are not who are unable to defend themselves because they don't they're not allowed to bring in guns then i think there's going to we're going to probably see more of that that will be the trend i think in terms of. improving proving and increasing security at locations were lots of people come together. the 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 provided the scientific information to the government but you have not been able to establish at porton down that this was made in russia as i said it's our job to provide eight you know the scientific evidence that identifies for that particular nerve agent is but it's not our job to and see where that actually was manufactured so typically you will not tell you to look porton down to say where it is from we haven't yet been able to do the findings from the porton down laboratory appeared to directly contradict a statement from the u.k. foreign minister here earlier told the 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 important they were absolutely categorical and i

asked the guy so i said are you sure and he said that when they die. despite the inconclusive findings from the military laboratory the u.k. government insists it always knew russia had a hand in the screwball case artie's on to see if you're going to explain. 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 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 it's 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 and not assist being run on a show 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 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 of the lab findings and latest developments in the script called case with our guests here's what they had to say. with 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 who lived on national television on the state broadcaster. i have spoken to the. portal. guy who made brief statements today on behalf. of it and he said the guy told him that it was

russia that did it could only have been russia that did this was what's known a mistake it was a lie were learning now through wiki leaks that actually the u.k. and the u.s. have been aware of the truth of how a modern chemistry lab can make this particular next generation age of the u.k. and u.s. have been aware of the security before but i have been trying to suppress knowledge of that book so clearly for a decade now the u.k. and the u.s. 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 with the trade with the

us 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 wants to puff themselves off as a big animal in the in zoo i don't know but you know it's just not a terribly sensible thing to say you can't have done at this point. well earlier my colleague kevin owen discussed in the screen paul case and president putin's reaction to it with our teens but our customers well putin he's we didn't numerous times now on the script all casey 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 ease media p.r. campaign underway what was it amazes me how fast this and the russia hysteria has come about tomorrow we're calling in o.p.c. w meeting to get the facts straight on this whole situation 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 the chalk is what it was russia was never a couple yeah roku only russia could make it we've had interesting revelations important down today the head was asked whether britain has its own

stockpiles of newburgh chokes and he refused to answer the question he refused to comment here but he did add 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 procure. 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 in the military chemical the board who are here in moscow and they you know as experts they have a few interesting details to share. spoke asserted as for the group of toxic agents known under the umbrella term of the chalk 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 and the chemical expert system but so they're

all available in open sources these formulas and no secret. it's really not the truck 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 simplices doesn't call to kill a sophisticated procedures any chemist specializing in organic chemistry would be able to make it. when we have zero information and 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 experts who were able to do so very quickly so i assume the british chemists already had samples of such toxic agents at their disposal so that they could compare the who isn't at hand with those samples i mean that was a great explanation but just in case there's any confusion basically what he's saying is that the fact that the british identified 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 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. as we mentioned the fallout from the script poisoning case was brought up during vitamin put in his meeting with the turkish leader artie's only a patrol car has been following those talks in on crack. the russian president vladimir putin learned about the latest comments from the laborde tree less than an hour before his press conference with the turkish leader type aired on began and it

looked like right during the talks his assistance passed on the message to the russian leader perhaps that explains the president's reaction to it it was rather short and restraint but it was obvious for us journalists that the russian government officials were going to have many more things to say about these conclusions by the lab so just as the president's stop talking we rushed towards dmitri peskov who is a lot of our putin's press secretary also is seeing here official in his administration and i can tell you there were loads of colleagues there so indeed that was the point when probably we heard the most harsh words on london's response to the attack on mr scream a russian officials ever said because christiane you know you through britain's theory about this case will not be confirmed because it's impossible to confirm the

u.k. sporran minister who pin the blame and president putin will have to look in the eyes of his e.u. colleagues at mun who will have to apologize to russia somehow mash this idiocy has gone way too far we're ready and we're realizing we will not you know and at once you would it's another to both of whom say you were more direct will in direct confirmation so good so the duty of the you case position thank you thank you very moved on to the discussion on the conflicts that are on raveling somewhere much closer to where i am right now the middle east syria that was of course something else that the president of turkey and russia brought up during their press conference but on wednesday they will be joined by their arabian counterpart and saad rouhani as well the three countries are guarantors of the syria peace process and it was fair. thanks to that we finally saw a light at the end of the tunnel when it comes to sorting out the syrian civil war but still a massive number of issues there remain unresolved and hopefully well we'll hear

something about that when the leaders come to talk to the journalists once again here in ankara turkey. well while the leaders of russia iran and turkey are set to discuss the war in syria u.s. president donald trump has been sending mixed messages on washington's role in the conflict i want to get out i want to bring our troops back home i want to start rebuilding our nation and we'll be making a decision very quickly in coup ward nation with others in the area as to what we'll do saudi arabia. is very interested no decision and i said well did you want to say maybe you can have to pay. well last week president trump said it was time for the u.s. to get out of syria and other people should take care of the situation we asked the security policy analyst michael maloof and political scientists call income cavill where the u.s. strategy in syria could be heading. well this is this is the pro this is president

trump once again trying to grab the headlines and to grab attention no. chance and control the narratives or is will. start off with one physician and wind up with something entirely get a view on that one. really does want to bring. u.s. forces out syria but are you going to face opposition. elements in the state who do not want to do that they want to keep troops in syria . and the whole credible organization the republicans should lose all of her month's elections and tranquil no where in which twenty twenty. protests have swept across france as rail workers launch a strike against president micron's labor reforms and not more than two thousand students are gathered outside the station in support of the strikers police used

tear gas and to break up the crowd. meanwhile in paris there was a tense stand off between route workers and police are trying to bring was their force if you just look behind you get a sense of the police who are out in force this is a 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 business is 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 it's 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 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. fifteen if i can remember. 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 put forward by macaroons government will lead to the privatisation over the rail government has tonight that in fact so yes the strikes ongoing today this is the food. day. six days of strike between now and the end of the seas a huge fight between the unions to decide whether the unions still have the kind of power that they assume you see to get here in france and. germany to push through his policy for the moment this is yet another violent protest with clashes between the protesters at the front and also to see how rice the police here in. the u.s. is stepping up a trade standoff with china washington has drawn up

a list of thirteen hundred chinese products that could be subjected to tariffs i mean ousmane came a day after beijing imposed duties on u.s. food imports the new u.s. list mentions chinese construction machinery agricultural consumer electronics it has so far not been finalized by the trump administration the goods are worth around fifty billion dollars each year now the chinese embassy in washington has condemned the administration's tariff list and vowed to retaliate economist richard wolfe told us that the trade dispute could have far reaching implications for the world economy. all of this destruction of the world trade is the theatrical mr truck all the responsibility all the blame for whatever happens will begin with that decision of mr trump to break from the negotiated working out deals that have been made in the past to present himself as an infinitely better

deal maker this is about domestic political theater it's not a solution to the underlying economic problems of the united states the chinese will retaliate to make sure that that is not the case the chinese have all kinds of economic leverage on the united states and my guess is if you keep provoking them in the way that mr trump thinks is useful for him politically they will look at all of their weapons there is no way to know how this works out all we had been much greater uncertainty much greater danger in the world economy then we did vote for mr trump began this approach. thousands of women rallied in yemen on monday against the saudi military intervention which has been going on for the past five years. the

protests were sparked by the rape of a local go allegedly carried out by a soldier fighting in the saudi coalition while the march was being and held saudi warplanes bombed a port on yemen's east coast killing several civilians and a warning you may find some of the following images disturbing. that is in this book for we were home having breakfast safe and sound when the coalition hit the apartment building on neighbor who was in his car and he left it and ran for us. he came to take his family last second strike hits women were running in all directions it was a huge strike. on iraq there are. international hearing a remark. we are not currently working with aid our selves but

as we jam in that we know that people are struggling people are tough to travel long distances to the hospitals or medical centers. in any case many hospitals have temperature walking what we have seen in the last year is the urgency of the cholera outbreak. big cholera outbreak later on the steady outbreak these are clear signs that the situation. deteriorate that there is still a lack of access it care to lax and lax to vaccination medication so for the restrictions of imports that are needed and need to be released it as well as to our low for vital supplies for food fuel to enter into the country and in addition the governments donor governments must use that we provide to kids went to try to do

a stop to these work. the news of the 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 are his general harkins 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 or so they say they will continue to work together for the stability of the region for reinvigorate. the revolution. were hard perhaps this 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 target 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 citing 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 missions that it is refueling what targets it strikes and the results of the mission sounder we do not ok on the upside according to a mass that the saudis are making progress and learning lessons from their 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 of warnings about the ongoing catastrophe falling on deaf ears and that does it for me i'll be back in about thirty two minutes of the full of q. news you're watching r.t. international. it's the cradle of jazz. this is america the america we. know this jazz feel. climatic testified of alligators on the loose. and crime by the members of my family close. of street racing in the heat of the night.

will not have an educated public without proper teachers which is why lately here in the united states the hubris of american exceptionalism doesn't begin to fade when you enter its education systems this week in oklahoma more than thirty thousand educators staged a walkout in protest of the state's low education funding and even lower public school teacher salaries and the statistics back up these these teachers according to the national educate. association oklahoma ranked forty seventh among all fifty states in per student expenditures and forty eighth in average teacher salaries and twenty sixteen this comes just a month after teachers in west virginia successfully fought their state legislatures for a five percent pay raise after staging weeks of massive strikes with the skyrocketing cost of living in the soul crushing income bludgeoning a student loan scam that's gripping the throat of modern education in the us.
