i. reports of over a dozen. people. in the russian president. in the united states he doesn't know how is that possible that the president of the united states. in a couple of months in the fall of the white house. years of hardship on the rebel. controlled territory.

and welcome to the life with me. thanks for joining us this hour we start with breaking news today reports coming. back we go live now to charlotte for more details. father. we're also waiting for confirmation from the police and from the local authorities exactly what happened but we have got some witness eyewitness information from the ground what we understand from those eyewitness accounts is that there was a full bus a public transport bus that was driving through the northern city of loop which is about three hours north of humber by driving and what we understand is that a bag dropped on the ground it started small during at that point the attacks

started to happen now we believe that up to fourteen people have been injured reportedly injured in this must stop being on that bus some appeared to be seriously injured but i must say none of this has been confirmed yet we are waiting for the authorities to give us specific details about what happened there also eyewitness reports that a mother man trying to pull a gun out on the vehicle we don't know if these two men were connected or perhaps if there is a second person who pulled out a gun whether he was actually trying to stop the attack as i say the details are still very sketchy at the moment what we do know is that a soon as this attack click took place and the bus driver was made aware of it he did an emergency stop on the bus opened the doors and tried to get as many passengers out as possible we also understand the reports that the police were able to apprehend the stab at the scene and that person is now in custody

a mass operation is underway in the town of lubec in northern germany and police are examining the situation in the circumstances before they decide to say whether this is a terror attack or some other attack on a german city but of course germany is not new to terror attacks back in two thousand and sixteen there was that big attack on the christmas markets in berlin where twelve people were killed that was a terror attack at the moment we do not know if this is a terror attack what we know is that up to forty. people have been injured in a mass stabbing some of those have been injured seriously police are said to have detained the attacker and we await more information from the authorities ok short dubious get there with the first details of the breaking news appreciate that shot it will get back to you as we do hear more including not official confirmation of course from the police. and other headlines just as the dust started to settle on the truck putin summit in the finnish capital helsinki the white house announced

it's inviting the russian president to washington in all some an interview donald trump has since confirmed his intention to meet again with a lot of you put a second meeting potentially with putin. is that in the works is it planned has it been you know i would say it's in the works we had a tremendous discussion on many things but fact is we get along very well i think i have a good relationship with you and so far the russian side is not accepted nor declined the invitation the decision to invite putin to the us has once again sparked outrage in the western media brand that even president trump now says interfered in u.s. democracy invited to the white house and now the president has apparently doubled down by bringing him to washington so let's collude again like we did the last top spy in the united states he doesn't know how is that possible that the

president of the united states is inviting putin for a second in a couple of months in the fall over at the white house because the president he works for is donald trump has artie's that caleb orpen with more of the latest from the white house. in helsinki president of the united states agreed to go in working level dialogue between the two security council staffs president trump asked john bolton to invite president putin to washington in the fall and those discussions already on the way we have the announcement from sarah huckabee sanders the white house press secretary this comes in the aftermath of quite a bit of media hysteria in response to donald trump's a meeting in helsinki with the russian president if you look at time magazine or the new yorker there's been quite a bit of hysteria in u.s. media now in recent comments the russian president has actually warned the world about the hysteria in the us media and about you know forces that would push false

narratives about the meeting in helsinki to advance their own political gain. there are forces in the us ready to easily sacrifice russia u.s. relations for their political ambitions a satirical novelist once wrote about these sorts of people as pitiful and pathetic but these people here are another pitiful nor pathetic on the contrary they're pretty powerful if they can force feed such stories to millions of the citizens and they count in the aftermath of the helsinki meeting which took place on monday we've seen quite a bit of shifts and changes in how the us president has described that meeting his explanation and assessment of the events seems to go back and forth they have president putin he just said it's not russian i will say this i don't see any reason why it would be and should have been i don't see any reason why it wouldn't be russia. sort of a double negative he would agree with us intelligence that. russia meddled in the

election twenty sixteen i would say that that is true but you haven't condemned putin specifically do you hold him personally responsible well i would because he's in charge of the country getting along with president putin getting along with russia is a positive not a negative if that doesn't work out i'll be the worst enemy he's ever had the worst he's ever had so this new announcement that trump is indeed planning to invite the president of russia to the united states to the white house for another meeting it fits in with a recent tweet from from he said he was looking forward to a second meeting with the russian president but many people are wondering what will happen next as trump seems to have gone back and forth and as trump faces widespread media hysteria and criticism for the fact that he met with the russian head of state. residents in the rebel held town of fool and care fraud

in the northwestern syrian province of idlib have now been successfully evacuated from the area and the deal between the syrian government and militants residents were moved to areas controlled by damascus in exchange for imprisoned rebel fighters forces transported almost seven thousand people to safety to deal its end of years of suffering during the blockades as what it does the of explains. for three long terrible years the people of. live besieged two pro-government villages in the middle of. his kingdom in syria and these limits the warlords and the terrorists were out for blood. on a. sunday they had been previous evacuation attempts last year as five thousand civilians were being bussed out of the deal

with rebels a suicide bomber blew up nearby over one hundred died. well . you know about. that. i met some of the evacuees last year they were clearly traumatized scarred here men and women and yes even children fought for three years they held out. of it you think i was too pretty for my family we've been. good to see each was very.

forcible to describe it is impossible to express it. but on. this latest deal was made by the syrian government and the. previously. in syria islam ists let seven thousand civilians leave the two towns and the syrian government releases hundreds of militants from prisons the rebels have lost the two villages they use this bugging chips for years they have also lost swathes of territory and homes and southern syria. in the span of mia months.

after the that duration rebels drove tanks into fool and trashing national flags and defacing assad's portraits and damascus now has a serious problem. filled to the brim with islamists and rebels from all over the country and with nowhere left to run the stage is set for the last bloody showdown of the syrian war. israeli female soldiers have reportedly been handed what is the rules that prevent them from wearing white shirts or removing bras or even smoking near men restrictions come as part of an effort to appease religious male troops that's

according at least one israeli women's rights organization which says it has received dozens of testimonies from service women the minute you see religious soldiers you're deterred they once told us to put pants on over our tights there were a lot of religious guys in the unit through out my basic training in my course the first me my friends to have a bra under our uniforms if we try to remove our bras we were caught and given a warning i was supposed to lead all the forces exercises but slowly i realized that i was in one to their in practice they didn't do my job but rather nonsense like guard duty and kitchen duty it's a reasonable. military conscription is of course obligatory in israel for all men and women over the age of eighteen women for at least two years and they currently represent thirty three percent of all i.d.f. soldiers who have a less than ten percent serve in combat roles or the i.d.f. has rejected those claims that it's imposed a female dress code the army says uniform rules are the same for both men and women

only with minor exceptions earlier i spoke with the former head of the group which exposed the modesty rules allegations. it is than heard of the women would have to dress according to whatever code of dress these are people want us to wear summaries here it's hot what do they want us to put on flannel shirts i mean it's really ridiculous if you want us to join and if it's mandatory to join then you must have equal opportunities and equal everything in there is well it's certainly appropriate if men have difficulties to seven women in a tank which is a very small place together we could go for that we could go for a set that separation but see once you let that happen then these people really think that we can let everything happen and we have this glass ceiling and this cement floor you know we're trying to get up and then we get stuck up there

somewhere women are necessary in the army in various positions we're not in the kitchens anymore we don't serve coffee and tea anymore we're there to do whatever we need to do and we have to stay. ducks for a minister stuff broke his face in a storm of criticism of the saying there is no such thing as a peaceful multicultural society. for the better the sorry for the autonomy. or. the governor of. the world or the beach. or to be. the minister also dismissed the former dutch colony sort all as

a failed state due to ethnic divisions refusing groups and politicians alike have expressed dismay over the minister's remarks. block you know the earlier films people that look like me but our whole national history and identity this isn't worth you're a government official minister block is undermining efforts by this government to make joint agreements in europe on the proper reception of refugees and block has apologized for his remarks he said they were meant to spark a debate not to offend we decided to put the issue up for debates with independent journalist luke levy and un called later on minorities i have a circle. he says things which up and former unfortunately real is that dean multicultural societies that were promised us that the perfect twenty first century site is don't function in the west at least in western europe i think the remark you just based on. ignorance of how can societies can bring together

big example i can ensure we can witness is the work of the french team for example look at french. french team contains a multicultural society france beat another team from a small country in the balkans and all the players in this small team of the country of origin so there is no rule to be taken out of that to meet the multiculturalist that doesn't function is what you have communities living next to each other and not mixing it is very easy for example for patients to. melton and become members of society but we have some some part of the population that refuse it to want to impose their culture in the public space like islam for example democracy can only be based on respect respect of or there are each other culture respect it comes also from form not to fear from other people culture from the other society we import misery we have

a social security system which is based on the contribution of everyone and the problem is that the millions that come to europe never participated they never contributed and they come with families look at examples off the continent of africa if we have left africa alone would not have seen african migrated to to to europe if we had not it would not have sucked the richness of africa there diamond the gold live the oil and those people who stayed in their own country that would be years and years no no if you have. been in your result one the last the world to try to invade residence with and critical of police countries and they complain. why immigrant come back to europe because you were conquered they conquered those countries and they impose laws they believe come back to with us if you when it's right in england does decide spring is here migrating they ask you for the black in the sixties to come and work in england same for the indian this is not people are how the choice is by force is not a choice minorities are welcome when they are minorities one it is

a real inflation in millions they say no and it doesnt stop living there for thirty years in europe before thirty five years i believe because the multicultural has made europe as rich of this country is not by wiping someone else and is not about . you know imposing someone else culture in another i didn't see that i would like to see or read integration more. coming up shortly about to speak to an israeli journalist about holocaust comments by the head of facebook that's just not the short break states you're. in a world of big partisan movie lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the bats and shouting

past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. with lawmakers manufactured consensus to the public will. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the final merry go round lifts only the one percent. we can all middle of the room sick. i mean the real news is.

welcome back to our international comments on the holocaust the sparking fury against the head of facebook that's off the mark zuckerberg said holocaust deniers shouldn't be banned from the platform jewish and there's just sort of people who deny the holocaust right not i find that deeply offensive but if the end of the day . i don't believe that our platform should take that down because i think that there are things that different people get wrong either i don't think that they're intentionally getting or wrong but i think. they might be but. it's hard to you know i'm pune intend to understand the intent i think the reality is also that i get things wrong when i speak publicly i'm sure you do i'm sure a lot of leaders and public figures we respect do too and i just don't think that is the right thing to say we're going to take someone off the platform if they get things wrong even multiple times anti semitism should not be given any platform

those who deny the holocaust should not be defended by anyone on the contrary worldwide everything should be done to protect jewish lives there should be no place for anti semitism anywhere this includes verbal and physical attacks and jews as well as holocaust denial the latter two is punishable by us and will be consistently persecute so far it seems german ministers are far from the only ones lashing out at the social media heads with twitter users also joining in the holocaust denial is not an opinion that's according to one but rather a grotesque racism another one pointed out that six million jews don't have the right to comment some of questions you could work suitability to be head of such a huge company when he holds such views now it's forced him to issue a statement condemning the holocaust denial calling it deeply offensive and think about himself as clarify that he was not the faith and people who actually hold

these views this c.e.o. added that his aim was not to stop the lies on facebook but rather to prevent fake news from spreading. now the community's standards and any hate speech which many critics believe should include holocaust denial but to discuss this further i'm joined live by israeli blogger and journalist richard millet richard thanks for joining us here obviously a topic that's very hot right now social media fake news etc where is the line i mean what do you make of zuckerberg initial interview where he claimed holocaust deniers shouldn't be banned for expressing their views publicly on social media or . british but jewish so long as you feel this kind of language quite well if anyone does deny the holocaust and i think he's got it wrong the fact that he's jewish is irrelevant that doesn't provide any support for his opinion i just

don't think he gets the situation. really the people who deny the whole of course. prachi i should imagine there's no survey i've seen on it but ninety nine point nine nine percent intended hurt the jewish people and his example that are people who like motor pool mistakes that i can't believe i've ever come across anyone who does make mistakes in the level of the large that's out there in the research you can just look online go to libraries and even going as yet our streets to make logical mistakes are venturing some of going to pull you up quite quickly and what you are saying this idea that he's trying to stop the spreading of faith yes well this is there's no more fake news than holocaust or not it's been documented it's been researched it's been proved and if you are going to deny the vote only

meanness amount of research you go to your dress shame in jerusalem you go to the concentration camps still existing if you're going to deny six million jews died then i would suggest that your only way to vacation is to hurt jewish people and that is tantamount to inciting racial hatred has been extended now the see it in england it's not illegal holocaust denial in germany so they remove it from their facebook platform in germany but he still it's still his company it's a private company what's now obviously a publicly quoted company but he to all intents and purposes owns most of it and he has the capacity from the platform to remove it and very rare to hear a voice that suggests that he's doing the right thing by keeping you on his facebook pages it can only do more harm than good this idea that you can discuss it

and research it we can discuss it have nice cosy chat. and the coffee about it is just it's just. an excuse. to come up and say oh no it's great that on the links you know how quickly richard i like most of it because i want to get as many questions as i can and here i suppose that the question is here once we've discussed so many times what is the line what is acceptable or not acceptable because as terrible as the holocaust was there have been other terrible events the slave trade weapons of mass destruction wars that cetera. some people argue i'm playing devil's advocate here why should holocaust denial have a special place when people could discuss for example the slave trade you know use weapons of mass destruction hiroshima nagasaki there's multiple terrible events that happened where is the line here between spreading anti-semitism spreading a line that is clearly grotesquely anti-semitic and racist and having a historical debate and discussion. well i don't understand it saying that

slavery didn't happen or that it was incredibly ben you know that it was beneficial to black people is banned from facebook and i've never even you know that as i understand it isn't allowed on facebook so maybe the question should be why is that not out facebook why is holocaust and not allowed on facebook yes i mean that it's incredibly awful atrocities around the world but i think this is the one example of the calculated attempt to exterminate an entire way since then which it would have happened we probably you know there were you know lots of. this was the one example where it was industrialized to the extent it was planned over many many years starting with the human as ation of the jewish people in germany so this process took about fifteen years overall or maybe twelve years starting from

the from the nazi government up until the end of the second world war when the camps were finally found. this is a prime example and if you're going to all to it now and allowed links to go around saying actually didn't happen then what happens is you're putting down thousands of people's lines and think about future generations think you're well you know well this really didn't happen so it might not really happen again so people are going to take that one of the ball and the whole point of the holocaust education holocaust education trust is to make sure there is no such thing that applies to any waste in riyadh we are already out of time but i just want to get one final question before we do have to say goodbye he's clarified richard the second biggest clarified obviously is his regional statement he's stated his aims he's apologized in a way obviously stated his jewish self as you rightly point out has his clarification and his statement after gone far enough is that case closed for you as far as

you're concerned. well i don't think the statement said that he was going to remove one of course not from facebook as i don't he's gone that far he's just clarifying statement to an extent and i think that's the ops and i figure there's been folk by jewish people around the world no one's got facebook coming into their homes if you see a link in on the holocaust it's quite frightening because you know this was mass murder inflicted on the jewish people in it people are going to say he didn't happen there is chances it can happen again and we are going to learn from history if it goes around quite quickly and we don't know who's going to when you say what is gushing that it happened though academics but who knows in this huge well if you interconnected world that we're going into what we have those who do not the course could eventually we now with their opinions which is a very very funny prospect ok richard millet blogger and journalist thanks for
