other development syrian rebels are ready to assess potential u.s. strikes against the country that's a warning from the russian side at the u.n. security council where moscow washington once again confronted each other over the situation in syria. not we understand very well that the heads of syrian armed groups have received instructions to begin an offensive following potential active force we saw recent examples in iraq and libya they show is that the u.s. needs the u.n. security council for pragmatic reasons they used in the case of iraq with the vial they used it to cover up the initiative of the libyan no fly zone and that's what's being done now you are showing us an imaginary vial it's empty chemical weapons didn't produce the most casualties in world war one but they were the most feared in world war two chemical weapons were employed on an industrial scale against civilians resulting in the worst genocide in human history which we recall just

yesterday on holocaust remembrance day i think it's becoming increasingly difficult as the cold war of words is heating up to a very hot potential military action and i really do wish that he would dial down the. anger in what he's trying to accuse russia or of and the stakes i think of becoming frighteningly high i mean i was very interested in a very active in speaking out against the iraq war i was very interested i have been for a couple of decades and speaking out against the libyan intervention which was illegal as well but i didn't feel the same sort of existential fear that i are currently feeling around what might escalate if america and the u.k. and france start to invade illegally another sovereign country which is syria. other news tonight violence is going to up to the along the israeli border guards where i.d.f. soldiers have been using live firing tear gas to disperse protesters gaza's health ministry says one person has been killed and hundreds injured including paramedics

over the past two weeks thousands of palestinians have been campaigning against what's widely seen as israel's occupation of gaza and demanding the right of return to israel for. listed the refugees and their descendants. this is one of the weapons the israelis have been using and this is tear gas canisters from the drone that the israelis have been using since the morning to throw to god the tear gas canisters on the protesters it's trending very high tensions are running high as you see the ambulances are still here medics are in the fia trying to get through to all the palestinians that are getting injured there's another injury we're just right now from the fence and you can see the

injuries and the leg. that medics are trying to get to to treat the other injuries the in the field so they will be able to do and it's going to be easier on the palestinians had it had that spirit has ministry because that as you fossil and all the other hospitals are crowded with patients and injuries in the past two fridays. it's another to get.

what's happening now is the israeli army are using add that you got got mr strong desire to just got his start on days really on the to sit in protesters it's so dangerous now for apple. and for every palestinian you defines for every palestinian who are just coming here to probably does i did the right of return. so this is just a list that is just enough to get a gas canister. the israeli snipers directly shot yes it might does and yes another journalist that is being injured just right now. it's very obvious that this ballot didn't journalists wearing a dress jacket. the. palestinians attending the rallies including children have been taken precautions to try to protect themselves best they can guess that some arrived with homemade masks filled with perf human cotton others were more inventive using fruit and vegetables. meantime also

a board of you the side of it israeli soldier who shot a palestinian on the gaza border during a protest in december has been cleared of wrongdoing by military inquiry video emerged from firing shots alongside other snipers who cheered and laughed at the injuries they inflicted. so. that we could have to move to digital. then show designer right. there i mean that there was a fight at the thought that the student did. well. what. this is when i did the rough what are really more they're here because. i did

nothing i was just a demonstration i went to my friends to help them and before i reached the place they shot me the soldier knew that i was going to help them and that's why i was shot for the comma wash from the palestine solidarity campaign he told me israeli soldiers are reacting he thinks in a disproportionate and inhumane way and absolute act to target practice effectively because the cheering from. the soldiers fellow soldiers basically was just completely inhumane and outrageous in the west i challenge them to produce evidence anywhere that this would happen. and in any case this shows you that that the difference on the one side you have heavily armored armed soldiers and on the other side or you have protesters who might have a story to throw from a long long way away it's not exactly going to damage the defense or the soldier. a key ally of germany's chancellor angela merkel is that weighed in on

the debate on integration of religion in the country alexander debrett claims that islam is not part of germany and cannot be allowed to shape its future. muslims who want to integrate into our society are part of our country but islam is not part of germany islam has no cultural roots in germany islam doesn't play a role in shaping our country's culture and it should not be culturally influential in germany no islamic country on earth has developed a comparable democratic culture like the ones we know in christian countries refugees should return to their home countries whenever this is possible to britain's remarks some of the slogans than used by the right wing nationalist deal turned to for germany party during its election campaign last year they have to ended up finishing third in the polling making it nonetheless the country's largest opposition party alexander to britain is the head of the union between merkel's christian democrats and the c.s.u.

his views on islam therefore directly contradict the chancellor's she says that several million muslims live in germany and indeed they belong to germany as well as their religion to get the thoughts from the board in austria he's from the austrian social democratic party hey what do you think about that you surprised to hear this sort of rhetoric from a problem conservative politician that's leading germany these days no i'm not really surprised because you know this is not now. all right we. but this in europe they think they have only one topic to deal with is always talking about islam of the muslims talking of the refugees and fortunately islam sounds so the one year make clear something like that then you are sure that the media will bring your statements your electorate will appreciate these talks and on the other side then you can really do

a lot of other stupid decisions and. combating the socialist state are making a lot of other decisions and the media and the people will not be concentrated on such musicians just focusing on the things and wrongs of any. anti immigrant sentiment this foreign and anti foreign a sentiment and you think it in these countries look or sound in hungary of late. yeah that's that's that's the point i'm going to he he made an election always attacking a foreign us that you know if you're just at the end of the muslims and in fact it's the country which has the least make grants and the least people who came as a refugee because they put a lot of fences up. that's the think so always talking about emotions the right to him parties they don't think about how to mix office ticket in politics how to talk on solutions how to deal with the real challenges of these nations just

find someone who is the one who can deal with them as those who are responsible for everything that's a very easy way of making politics and unfortunately it's else there it is there is some results but how long that people will accept this results and how long they can really get with them that's another question is it a dangerous or a factual remark that alexander the brit was saying very saying that islam is not part of germany. yes this is this is you know i think more than four million people are living in germany if you know that there the connection in their place in simple thing and where the message this is belt the most workers there on turkish legal and he forgets that in the tradition of europe always plates. everybody forgets that spain was longer islamic than catholic a lot of their medicine the chief man some of the philosophical achievements even

there is a touch and a ninety minute movement was always proud of ali it has one sort of influence of this coalitions of the most them say you have in the in the east wing turkey you have the most and then some have done badly and so in the history of your own there is a christian there is jewish. agree and there is also a systemic part of this history so just neglecting it another except thing that is something that is not wrong but he's using it because who knows that he killed. on the cheap a lot of the old people who want to applaud him for that and the c.s.u. is a right. wing christian social you and me and one of his predecessors the one who'll transfers of sars once said right of the sea as we should all around the world for we could leave them a fright were a bit over time to get some other stuff in but thank you sir for your thoughts to

my last big subject controversial subject that continues omari from the austrian social democratic party in sweden i see tonight and have a good night. relations between the u.k. and russia might be an all time low right now but that hasn't stopped british football fans from traveling to moscow for the away for euro paralegal head of the moscow arsenal game on thursday media outlets run threatening articles about blood and death supporters into supporters frankly it didn't come to pass thankfully. they met up with one arsenal fan to see if the headlines were true or not. just on my way to consider you a very prominent hostile fan going to be asking him when he travels to moscow does he have any fears regarding the political tension between the u.k. and russia is he worried about things like hooliganism. follow him throughout his trip how do you feel travelling there in this context you know. and i know there's

they sweep the stan collymore show house come to the city of lights on beautiful by race we're going to be chatting to frank above wool coat went out with the french national same in ninety nine but this week's episode ends much more serious fatness a more general secretary of faith talking about the upcoming woke up in russia rice and any issues for faith but to deal with paul paul what was it like for a young man get into a semifinal with england in ninety nine and say how do the chinese life going to be talking to him about rice about coaching and that england's chances at the world cup this year join us on the stand calling moshav.

to join boy fifa six general thoughts midsomer firstly thank you very much for joining us delighted that you're here it's been quite incredible year for you in terms of your role. as a private mixed rice britain to say the first woman the first black woman the first african history for secretary general is very. well as you rightly mention it has been a very busy of me i've been appointed secretary general after the last year. and the mere fact of having a woman president. governing body after more than one hundred. on how. so now my job is to make sure. that.

implementing. at the level of our two hundred eleven member association i have reason to think that. only have. not only. important. not just to me investing in. definitely the best way for. you know to develop the game and to make it

accessible to. the world. we have been implementing. and it's resulted in having more women to presentation it resulted in having more transparency in the way. invest. the money flow in and now it has been really. where the money we are receiving from our. money that. we have really a way to track everything. and she will bring a fresh. somebody.

because we have to. have more. people involved in football fever has just completed. and think well really we invite. to give an insight. well. you know we should give people an opportunity to get things right so you must be happy with . important from a different part. of business life.

professional and x. professional footballers involved in the i have given their lives to what i think if we have one thing. today after one year after eighteen months. is definitely that we are giving back to. active football players by having them. we have bob i. player from my deputy in charge of football he's also the one behind for example referee program we have. everybody. being also. because he's heading the technical division. goal. twenty three in the world it's the highest ranking for quite some. we

interviewed in london famously said twenty thirty years ago it will be when. i guess really. general at the top of the of the global game for an african nation might be. to do really well in this world cup and it would be important for the continent of africa what i think we have five team being the president did. african continent. as you remember. you know one. two went up to the quarter finals i think that they can only do better. were at liverpool in liverpool i mean that generation of players in two thousand

and two were vitally important in his love of the game so i guess again from an african perspective it's important for all of those nations to inspire the next generation of african football is it within. europe and best in many african players so. no matter that when they come back home to play for their country that they did what they had the same level of commitment. with a country so i have no doubt. and i really hope that that will be the case that african teams will be really going very far in this competition how important is it for russian sport for the host nation to have a good tournament while i think what we experienced during this. twenty seventeen. confederation. very strong on what. by russia could be i really was fascinated by the level of play. and more

importantly by the woman well what pleased you the most from the russian welcoming in the some of the confederations cup because i was and one of my roles i believe. to speak honestly about. seven times now i'm not a fantastic people don't look at me differently on the street people don't treat me differently. which is again some of the stereotypes that we are presented with. so tell us what pleasantly surprised you about the confederations cup. what you just described when i came for the first time in russia it was in july. last year. one month after my assignment and definitely like every african. person i was just feeling to be treated differently and i was ready also to.

people think differently about africa and africans but i've been here for at least twenty times altogether i haven't suffered any issues wherever i go to explain what doing. is modernizing image i have received a warm welcome. during the confederation the people from even different. visiting for the first time and who happened to be muslim receive a very special treat in because somehow. state where we have. a predominantly muslim population and they were sending me messages. configuration kept telling me five arabic nash and that qualified for the low.
