a person was taking her pulse and talking to her from what i saw she was stabbed in the leg someone was applying pressure to her neck people said she had been stabbed in the neck she was awake her eyes were open after that i heard gunshots maybe one hundred to one hundred fifty metres away i went in that direction a policeman arrived wearing body armor we asked him who did the shooting he said the police and at the attacker was neutralized a parking valet told me a crazy insane person did the attack i didn't understand immediately what was happening i thought the attacker was far away so i went to the stabbed person thinking there was no risk anymore when i heard the gunshots they seemed far away so i didn't feel unsafe when i went over there a policeman told me right away the danger was over. friendship prosecutors said that they are treating the stabbing as terrorism related the latest incident comes despite french president of doing the state of emergency in the country last

october and france has been hit by a series of terror attacks in recent years in march two thousand and twelve the man opened fire outside a jewish school in the city of toulouse leaving seven people dead january two thousand and fifteen saw a mass shooting at the office of the satirical magazine charlie hebdo in paris and it carried out by two islamist government seventeen people died later that november experienced the deadliest terrorist attack in french history multiple shooting and bomb attacks targeted a music club sports stadium and restaurants then president francois along called it an act of war one hundred thirty people lost their lives in july two thousand and sixteen a multi-ton truck plowed through crowds on the promenade. in nice that atrocity killed eighty six people including the attacker who was shot and killed by police. we spoke to jennifer britton international criminal law attorney and french lawyer . about what may have contributed to this latest tragedy. even if

president mccrone has an activist counterterrorism policy in his nation he already has past years even if he wasn't involved with those of open door policy is allowing anybody to come in not wanting to infringe on privacy is not wanting to offend anybody that's allowed the growth of this so it is going to be hard especially for these nations who spent so many years not wanting to offend but they've already grown the presence and come into there and now these these leaders who are here now are going to have to say ok we really cannot restrict that many freedoms we can't just take people down because we don't like the way they look even if we think that soros is a very poor for a country i consider that i would just doesn't have enough money to work quickly i have to think about the police we have. with the middle east this is again a situation that unfortunately can promote tourism to have tensions in some people

who are trying to. decide to extend to benefits of the situation to increase tensions between the french cities and some to have it done so froze. donald trump's a decision to pull the u.s. out of the landmark iraq nuclear deal has led to an avalanche of criticism from europe germany's magazine der spiegel summed up the american presidents have tried to washington's allies with an offensive hand gesture europe's leaders meanwhile have committed to fighting for their country's interests and are scrambling to save the pact. i think it is not right to you know actually cancel a deal that was agreed upon screaming and shouting insulting. that diminishes confidence in the international order systematically destroying dismantling everything what do we want to be. blinded. america's withdrawal from the nuclear deal has made the situation even more towns and so we continue to do

business with iran if we always say that if we don't like things and we can't achieve international order everyone will do what they feel like that's bad news for the world. or days after america made a controversial move the chief inspector of the un's nuclear watchdog announced his resignation has also merged with a top nuclear expert at the u.s. state department walked out this week neither gave a reason for their decision. to look at the fallout from latest. our u.s. president risking chaos in the middle east and in case you missed it people are surprised again. don't assume campaign by saying that he'd pull out of the nuclear deal with iran but now that he's actually followed through with an election promise he's caught everyone off god for some reason the world is shocked and outraged as if don't jump previous that says it's bed time sprint pinkberry dull stool over the middle east and north stirring up storms of their own

just a week or two ago donald trump was being put forward for the nobel peace prize for insulting north korea into fuel and new self respecting republican president was that when his c.v. so twelve years of torture is to play with even the as rich powerful nation a level of complexity rarely seen in global affairs as government came in when but the negotiations pressed on relentless trumps view of the alarm on the deal was you are horrible on the plus side he didn't say very very horrible which in trump well there's more or less a compliment saying that there is wiggle room on parole the orange one said while tearing off the iran deal that it didn't bring calm it didn't bring peace to and it never will he does not want to read baseball cap when he runs for a second term because one of the message a u.s. president can sell standing with the us i am to egg on my face is europe's big

three leaders. may to an end the i and spent a lot of political capital trying to keep trump in the deal christ at least one of them kissed him in the end they learned a vital diplomatic less than good as many sheets as you like but the u.s. is going to do what it down well please the europeans and russia and china say they are dedicated to keeping the middle east nuclear free from. you know. everyone took the news of trucks with drool in their ears. come to me for me away the european. and american flag and it. is really. nothing really. iran now says it is ready to restart its nuclear program on an industrial scale in the meantime iran's foreign minister has denounced america's a move as unlawful and accuses the u.s.

of a long history of violating the accord the dispute even extends online with iran's supreme leader appearing to troll president trump by posting a photo of him reading fire and fury inside the trump white house the book details salacious claims about trump calling his behavior erratic and described as vicious infighting bestseller caused an explosive angry reaction from trump and his team and former u.s. deputy coroner for the iran nuclear deal has told you that the u.s. president's decision is shows a disregard for europe he tells sunday's worlds apart how trump is riding roughshod over his allies efforts. after all the bonhomie of the meeting after the supposedly improved atmosphere in the merkel meeting and then he actually treated his intention to make this announcement and sort of telegraphed where it was going while foreign secretary boris johnson was actually in washington trying to convince

vice president pence and the secretary of state to continue the negotiations it whether or not he was intending to be rude whether he was trying to send a message this clearly isn't the way allies behave toward one another i think you see the united states disregarding the needs and interests of its allies and europe and other allies are going to have to look at this and decide how to respond in order to protect their own concerns president trump is trying to tear down the accomplishments of his predecessor i think it's pretty clear from his public remarks that he does not understand what was in the way or what is in the g. c.p.o. a it also does undermine the position of the united states in the world we are demonstrating that we cannot take yes for an answer and that makes it very very difficult to make credible deals with the united states. swedish authorities could soon bowed to public pressure and conduct

a study into whether there is a connection between increasing migrant and crime levels but leaders are still wary about publishing any data that could reveal links between the two citing the current political climate it can now be noted that the demand in the social debate on obviated information on the relationship between crimes on the one hand and dissent and migration on the other hand is so strong that the old thirty needs to consider the possibilities again. the last study in sweden on migrants and crime was done in two thousand and five two years ago the police decided to admit criminals nationalities an official report pushed for this latest study comes after sixty one areas in sweden were labeled no go zones where to start from five thousand known criminals currently live.

in need to make clear a shift in direction we cannot continue in this direction ten more years society needs to do more we need to do more we need to focus on the serious was. a member of the sweden democrats party earlier spoke to enter farmer my colleague and told him that he thinks leaders are not being honest enough about of the impact of immigration immigrants from these countries. all around europe and you know it's needs you know you need to start this inside sweden the media they need to

stop you know protecting them or denying the problems we have with immigration what the information received them from this how can it be used productively to solve the problem well i think that once people realize once they dare to i mean it's you know the causes of the problems from especially some kind of immigrant groups then it's much easier gives an argument to stop immigration from these countries because in the end. our responsibility is to our citizens and i'm quite sure. you know this will be yet another one that will show how the media and the left wing liberals have lied for thirty forty years on about immigration can also say that many people in sweden commit sex crimes but we don't make an issue of their origin. there are of course swedish people who commit six

razer crimes in general but the thing is when you have an immigration you need to know how does that immigration affect your country it's better than us if a swede rapes someone burden us we don't need to import more rapes into the country . the votes are being counted in iraq's first parliamentary elections and the defeat of islamic state last year and there is a lot of stake not just for the iraqi people but for other powers in the region as well as artie's but i gotta comment. depending on whose side you're on these elections can make or break the middle east not because of oil nor riches though that helps neither is it ideology or jihad ists this is all about friends. first of three leading candidates high the. current prime minister the best word

to describe him is neutral syria stay out of it iran vs america stay out of it yemen stay out he would be bowing to iran but neither will he be a poor in america's efforts to isolate iran. candid number two nobody. former prime minister he makes no attempt to hide his affinity for iran imagine if he gave iran bases in iraq allowed troops and tanks to move from iran to syria the israelis the saudis they will include like that one bit. candidates number three trumps nightmare. meeting this guy who's an iraqi himself fought on the side of iran during the iran iraq war enough said

i believe the american administration could be the biggest loser from iraqi election we have three camps fighting two when this election i'm manic and i only have one strong ally which is that i love about the always. but that it and he is trying to keep that alliance with the united states but whether he is going to win this election i have my own doubts i think that it's that i will hire the group. they are very close to the indian and gating a lot of support by the here so i believe they had a hand until now so you see the problem here one guy doesn't want to get involved in anything one guy is all buddy buddy with iran and the lust is supra rainy and he'll fight you quite literally and even with the weight steeped in its favor

america says iran is cheating. worrisome evidence that iran is trying to influence using mom the iraqi elections the money is being used to sway candidates to sway votes it's not an insignificant amount of money we believe and we think it's highly and hopeful it's bad so bad that western states are sending ambassadors to trying to empower and iraqi cleric who's supporters had been killing american troops back in the times of the us intervention he even warned two years ago that americans are a target all forgiven and forgotten you see he doesn't like iran any day you could see rooms military general kassim still in my. the looks at the t.v. and this unhappy is a good day for security in the region i'm looking at. those meetings in saudi

arabia will make you very unhappy it all depends on who is side you are on america lost thousands of men in iraq spent eight trillion dollars on the war there and to watch it all go to iran that would hurt. almost a year after the opening of the us special council's investigation into donald trump's alleged links to russia vice president mike pence says it is time to wrap up. our administrations provided over a million documents we fully cooperated in it and in the interest of the country i think it's time to wrap it up or it comes ahead of the first hearing in a criminal case brought by the special counsel against thirteen russian individuals and three entities they stand accused of conspiracy to interfere in the u.s. presidential race it was thought all of them were unlikely to ever appear in court but after one company decided to defend itself it turned out robert muller's team

was not quite prepared as artie's jacqueline vogel reports. february saw the first real result of miller's investigation finally the russians were being called out directly three companies and thirteen individuals were named and shamed the massive indictment in the robert mueller investigation breaking today of thirteen russian special counsel robert most investigation lower indicted the russians thirteen russians not only operating overseas operating right here in the united states but given that those targeted are russian nationals with no worries about extradition to the u.s. no one expected the matter to go any further than media headlines but one company named in the indictment concord management and consulting seemingly called bluff by hiring d.c. attorneys who showed up for the arraignment the plea of not guilty or not you think muller's office would be happy to finally have their day in court but no they tried to put off the hearing on the grounds that the defendant hadn't been properly served which is amazing as being served is just

a way of getting the opposing party to show up to court but given that lawyers for concord have done exactly that the judge ruled against that argument it seems borderline immoral to indict someone unless you can prove he's guilty of the crime they did it for one reason only mother needed russian like dressing on a salad to make his investigation look good the defense attorneys also demanded massive amounts of documents related to the probe things that hadn't been made public and there's no way miller's doing that just think about it turning over classified information to the people representing a supposedly kremlin linked company court investigators from miller's office that they would have been thrilled to see all of the defendants show up like that was never going to happen and went on to ask if the attorneys represented a catering company listed in the indictment as well the aim of which was lost even on the judge. ok would you like me to do with now a status hearing on the case is scheduled for may sixteenth and will likely know by

then if everyone is ready to put all their chips on the table. a canadian opposition leader is demanding to know what is being done about dozens of former eisel fighters who have returned to canada comes after one of them admitted to carrying out executions in syria in new york times podcast. but you can do this you're not going to be held accountable and i just kept looking down at his feet i don't want to look at his head and then. i kept thinking we killed them this individual described how we executed individuals by shooting them in the back they had he said that the people he was shooting deserved it and he said i know i won't be held accountable he said that a least twice the former fighter who goes by the name of who whose ifa confessed to taking part in the execution style murders of sunni muslim men he said he decided to leave syria after his second killing who originally left canada and

two thousand and fourteen to join the extremist group when he was just seventeen years now back in toronto much to the surprise of canadian lawmakers this guy is apparently in toronto canadians deserve more answers from this government up so why am i doing something about. canada's public safety minister refused to provide details on the former fighters current status but he insists that canadians are safer and that security agencies are doing their job bruno a contributor to geo political monitor dot com things that western governments policies towards syria have radicalized many people. many western governments have taken a very ambiguous line at best and at worst say france united states great britain have to get wrecked lying in antagonizing the syrian regime making it seem like it was ok to go and fight for isis given that we were fighting evil regime. so

definitely should not be surprised of blowback but at least sixty such side it will come back from fighting in syria rather than putting fighters in jail of the sort of deep grief after this story and has come out in parliament particularly people conservatives particularly certain provinces don't like trudeau will definitely make. this into a bigger story and i'm sure that trudeau will probably price all have to explain it for the next election. well it looks like the growing time to between the u.s. and north korea is still on course pyongyang says it wants journalists from around the world to come witness in the dismantling of its nuclear test facility later this month now when it comes after america's top diplomat promised the kim regime economic aid if it gives up its atomic arsenal north korea takes bold action to

quickly denuclearize the united states is prepared to work with north korea to achieve prosperity on the par with our south korean friends. the comments represent a dramatic u.s. policy shift on north korea in the past thirteen years washington has imposed hundreds of trade penalties on the isolated country nearly half of those who were implemented in the last twelve months but sanctions have not been america's only tactic for exerting pressure on pyongyang. only the strongest sanctions will enable us to resolve this problem through diplomacy. you know if north korea continues its dangerous path we will continue with further pressure that's called the military option the choice is saying we will have no choice but to totally destroy north korea it will be devastating rocket man should have been handled a long time ago. although relations now appear to be moving in the right direction

human rights attorney erik's rock'n told us so the u.s. still needs to make good on its promises there's a lot of problems that we face with the credibility of the united states under those circumstances can we made deals whether it's the paris climate deal whether it's the iran nuclear deal what message are we sending to north korea about the durability of an agreement that we enter with them under such circumstances and so you leave the united states is sinking further and further from international customary legal norms in references to treaties and agreements and revoking then pulling out of them despite the fact that they've been negotiated by a multitude of countries so trust has to be rebuilt by experience it's not built by words it's not built by sheets of paper. while several thousand

people protested saturday in the capital of georgia following overnight anti-drug raids on two clubs. was the georgian interior ministry says eight suspected dealers were arrested two have since been released of the demonstrators say officers used excessive force calling the operation a deliberate provocation they claim the ministry fabricated evidence the venues are used as a major drug trafficking points and that it is trying to crack down on tbilisi is flourishing club scene in the city's mayor urged the demonstrators to talk to the government about how to tackle drug dealing but instead they're demanding the interior minister resign protesters planned to spend the night outside parliament where they have already been making themselves heard.

was all right that does it for me i'll be back in about thirty two minutes with a full look at you know stay with us this is our two international. own. time in history and during a crisis like in two thousand and eight where the creditors bailed out the state of

the debtor person in going back even to bill before times as the debtors they get bailed out not the creditors but because of the fascism the neo fascism the list illini like neal fascism between the bankers on wall street and the federal government fused together a corporate product daisy chain of incest and by all financial shenanigans the creditors were bailed out and the water they do with all the bailed out money they inflated the bubble even higher so now i've got s. and p. hitting the all time highs but the more ality and the ethics of the country and the wealth and income gap i've nosedive. about your sudden passing i've only just learnt you were a south in taking your last bank turn. your attitude up to you as we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry for the economic so i write these last words in hopes to

put to rest these things that i never got off my chest. i remember when we first met my life turned on each breath. but then my feeling started to change you talked about war like it was a cave still some are fond of you those that didn't like. to question our arc and i secretly promised to never be like it said one does not leave a funeral the same as one enters the mind gets consumed with death that's really quite different as i speak to you now because there are no other takers. to blame that mainstream media has met its maker. what politicians do something that. would put themselves on the law if. they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to present injury. or something i want to. let you go right to the first listen.
