the international launches a probe. within the organization are blamed on pressure of work. live from moscow to the world international good to have your company i mean you know. breaking news. international the house being for the last number of hours now u.k. police confirm they are treating a car crash in westminster terror attack during morning rush hour now a vehicle crashed into security barriers at the heart is a parliament in london injuring two people the driver being detained at the scene by police.

on. our london correspondent on the say a church is the site of the incident last year how clear are we on the details of the incident at this stage. well you know the details have been sprinkling and throughout the last several hours since this incident took place we do know that the latest is a statement from scotland yard of confirmed that they do have one man in custody who has been held at a south london police station and question scotland yard said that this man is so

far refusing to cooperate and his motive and more details are yet to come out at once they can get more information and certainly this is a developing story and i'm traveling very very quickly since the early hours of the morning when at seven thirty seven am today a car had hit several cyclists just outside the houses of parliament and then slammed into security barriers right outside parliament now a witnesses that have been speaking to reporters have said that the felt like this was an intentional act because this car was at some point on the wrong side of the streets going at fifty miles per hour whereas the speed limit here is actually much lower and it has to be understood that this area here which we can really not get any closer because it's cordoned off by police that are investigating this incident is usually a dream we pop to any time of the day with lots of law. that's of tourists visiting parliament square and also lots of people getting to work because this is indeed

something that took place during rush hour earlier today and it is understood at this point that the metropolitan police's counter-terrorism unit is handling this incident and treating it like a terrorist incident much more details are yet to come out so far we do know that this was a silver ford fiesta car reportedly and that a man in his twenty's was taken into custody by armed police officers no weapons or explosives were found in his car and there is no understanding as of yet or no and no indication that anybody else was participating in this talk with him but certainly this is still a very developing story so more details are going to be coming out in the hours to come definitely and will be here with all the latest details as major.

you won't succeed if you want to find us will be covered by terrorists. you will see over the next few days i mean creased number of. across london. the attempt to divide has met countless acts of kindness that brought people closer together. and. they continue to be visible patrols around manchester which include the deployment of armed officers . that is will see an increased police presence today. and over the course of the next few days no reason to be alone. both. feet.

long that is we'll see an increased number of peaceable police officers. well the london metropolitan police deputy commissioner just spoke to the press within the past thirty minutes or so and confirmed they believe the crash was deliberate. the driver of the fiesta who was alone in the vehicle was arrested at the scene by armed officers who were already on. the man is in his late twenty's and he's been arrested on suspicion of terrorism offenses and has been taken to a sample of the police station where he remains in custody. given that this appears to be a deliberate act the method of this being an iconic site we are treating it as

a terrorist incident and the investigation is being led by officers from the counterterrorism. let's go live now to philip ingram former senior military intelligence security officer in the u.k. felt good to have you on the program just as we're listening to the deputy commissioner there just to get your take perhaps before we get into the actual details does this appear to you to be a terrorist attack. well it's been treated as a terrorist attack that's different to being law you know there are indications that would suggest it could be the use of a vehicle iconic sights. and knocking people down that's being encouraged by the different terrorist organizations but there's things that would suggest that might not necessarily beit it was a small car there's an individual that's in there he didn't hit a big crowd of people that's going on so it could just be someone with mental health issues and it's important that you know we don't jump to conclusions too

quickly what's the first thing that i can tear terry unit would try to establish when they arrived at the scene because we do know they got there very fast indeed there's two things that they'll be doing sort of three things that will be doing the first one is to neutralize any potential threat out there continues around around the scene so that they'll have midnight very very quickly as what the threat was that of a sense that they can go in and arrest the individuals and get a moat and that there was another threat there the second thing is to protect the public in the immediate vicinity and secure the area and the third thing that they would be doing very very rapidly is trying to see if there's any additional threats of around and to neutralize those and that's why it's right and proper that as the country terrorism police take him to lead in this i'm just being treated until they know otherwise as a terrorist incident and that's always the fear isn't copycat attacks after something like this highly why would that net have to spread in central london do

you think to be aware of any similar attacks in that area. well it manager concerns at least and communities of highs in the intelligence services and that means that you can bring all of the different assets to bear to look very very quickly the individual misidentify him and he associates with the individual will have come through how he's actually driven to get there were absolutely aggressively associates with that and very quickly try and hide on whether this is actually a terrorist incident whether it's a lone wolf type attack whether it's someone who's got mental health issues i'm a can access all these records it streamlined quickly much faster than the normal police investigation could do and just listening to some eyewitness accounts fell upon the husband quite a few as you can imagine so many tourists in that area at the time of course locals as well working. eyewitnesses have said that the vehicle swerved to cross traffic then went for the entry exit point of parliament for cars which would be

a very particular area of the palace of westminster do counter terror units interview eyewitnesses at the scene i suppose the point there is that not detrimental when they give their accounts to the media there's a quite a lot of mix ups happening at the time the information trying to get all right. well it isn't it isn't you the police as we saw. say want as many witness statements as possible as much footage as possible and the greater volume they get the greater accuracy they'll get from their intelligence what happened at the scene you know there are police officers that were observing it that barrier that they go into these two police officers sound and the little cabin beside their on the open and close up barrier to let a member of the house of lords into into their car park so there are some very very good witness statements i will be there it's quite clear that this was a deliberate act the motivation behind it we don't know yet a mill bus or said that the individual has been arrested is not cooperating so

that's what they'll be tying down as quickly as possible to make sure that there isn't the wider threat and then to get a statement out quickly so that it can try and dispel the chances of there being copycat attacks as you wrote remember in the aftermath of the attack last year or last march twenty seventh jane there was a lot of debate whether the area around the palace of westminster should be made pedestrian are raised and there hasn't been an attack in the u.k. this year and i thought discussion has been put off the board somewhat it will not be back in the public consciousness well i don't think the discussions actually been put off the board and there hasn't been an attack because any of the attacks that were in their final process of planning have been disrupted by the intelligence services so this is a real success and intelligence success in stopping attacks this year there are still ones being planned on the sill will have been planned as we speak and it will be back on the board you know every time an incident happens the authorities will

look at the lessons that come out of it bubble and start off against the needs of you know keeping access to what is a public building you know it is not a conic building but it's a public building and making sure that we've got a balance of maintaining our freedoms as well as protecting everyone from the threat that's out there is there anything to be taken from the fact out. it wasn't in session at the time m.p.'s are in holiday would there be less security time around westminster because there's so fewer people working of course there are tourists it's basically summer season but in terms of actual politicians going into their work they would be aloft there at the time this is not in terms of terrorism does not make it more likely that they might try to pick their time at such an occasion no not really and actually this is one of the indicators that suggest it might not necessarily be a well thought through terrorist attack or a terrorist attack at all because if you go if you're a terrorist what is it that you won't. this is the time to get publicity is when if

they're going to be lots of m.p.'s and members those lords are on the commons in front of cameras there isn't the minutes so it's a das time for us to do it. ok just another thought of speaking to the decades ago or not it will probably even a decade ago something that this happened our first reaction would have been it's a drunk driver not it's automatic that we're thinking it's a terror attack it's a sad state of affairs isn't it it's a very sensitive affairs but the reason why it's being treated as a terrorist attack first and foremost is because the police can bring a large number of assets very very quickly and they're the country terrorist gussets is not going to stop the normal policing that's going on across. london which will be disrupted anyway but the numbers that are needed for the cordons are on this on a lot of them to neutralize identify neutralize any of the threats if it's there very very quickly so it's right and proper that it's treated as a terrorist incident until we know different thanks so much for coming on the

program and sharing your expert fuse and not philip ingram former senior military intelligence on security officer in the can. well eyewitnesses or nearby the scene being saying what they saw this morning in parliament square we've put together some of those accounts it's actually behind me so obvious that i wasn't actually you know it was that close to me in a very dysfunctional. does drug included like the soft toilet seat. i don't know if you drove into the bar up it's the most smokestack coming out of the car so i stopped it was really so i like the past and just in this it's like we don't move you know we have to put a smooth running towards me saying you know we can't go no we don't know what's up what's up with so that's the. most sorry for me more police may come in so they went to the cost right but enough to know we have to. ok just to summarize our

breaking news this hour then you can police confirm they are treating a car crash in westminster as a terror attack we will be closely following of course developments from the palace of westminster in central london as the hours and hours go on today from our moscow q. let's get a check down other global news we're closely following here on the program iran's supreme leader say's he won't negotiate with washington after president trump's latest effort to talk about improving ties at the same time president urged one has a non-stock turkey will boycott u.s. electronic products and picks up the story. donald trump not known for his modesty never stops bragging about the fact that he wrote the art of the deal seems that when it comes to his role as commander in chief he sees himself as almost the

great negotiator and when it comes to north korea you could argue that his approach kind of worked he is a sick puppy rocket man is on a suicide mission for him so. this not make it even with threats to the united states. they will be met with fire and fury. like the world has never seen since taking office donald trump has played up the so-called threat of another geo political rival of america threat posed by iran whose chief exports are violence bloodshed and chaos all nations of conscience most worked together to isolate for a minute it started to look like things were cooling off and maybe the talks were on the table i believe in meeting i would certainly meet with the room if they wanted to meet and ready to meet anytime they want to but he runs a supreme leader wasn't having it but i mean look there will be no war nor will we

negotiate with the u.s. it is impossible even if someday the government of the islamic republic of iran were to negotiate with the us regime it would never negotiate with the current government of the us. and then there is turkey and its detention of pastor and leave brunson to turkish authorities say was tied to the twenty sixteen coup attempt now trump says he wants him released. the united states will impose large sanctions on turkey for the longtime detainments of pastor andrew brunson this innocent man of faith should be released immediately i have just authorized a doubling of terrorism still and with respect to turkey as the currency the turkish lira slides rapidly downward against a very strong dollar our relations with turkey are not good at this time. but turkey is going at a budge and just like trump era one knows how to talk tough not talk about we are

partners and naked and then you stab your strategic partner in the back and we will do as the law dictates you cannot simply make sure we can bow down and buy both of us around meanwhile russia is not exactly caving in the face of sanctions yes it was possible that the but if some ban on banks operations or on their use of one or another currency all it would be possible to clearly call it a collaboration of economic war and it would be necessary to react to this war economically politically or by other means that the in our american friends and i need to understand this let's remember that those sanctions on north korea were not unilateral they were actually imposed by the united nations but when it comes to the rest of the world trump is on his own it seems that his reputation as a great negotiator is on the rocks. r.t. washington d.c. former u.s. ambassador to croatia peter galbraith say it's unclear whether sanctions will have

the effect washington wants. the case of iran is completely different from that of north korea first these are unilateral u.s. sanctions and they are so that the entire international community except the united states thinks they are inappropriate that they're wrong and in the case of iran iran feels that they had a valid agreement and that there's no lawful basis for doing it it's very hard to coerce people to do something which they think is in fact lawful and goes against their their will so i think you sanction the u.s. sanctions which are unilateral opposed by the rest of the world there are unlikely to be sanctions on turkey like the sanctions on iran i think will cause real economic pain. but again as to whether they will accomplish their purpose that's very unclear although in the case of turkey it's a little more complicated because there was

a deal to refer to three reverend brown said and turkey simply got it patient so it's quite possible something will be worked out on that one. more breaking news to bring you this hour on the program this time from italy where dozens of people are feared dead after a major motorway bridge has collapsed in the northern port city of genoa several cars are said to a fallen from the stretch of road and the elevated section of the ten thought to be around one hundred meters high came down this morning emergency crews we know are on the scene on a search for survivors is underway a quite evocative pictures there showing you just how high up into the air the bridge was at piles of rubble on the ground we know that the bridge was built in the one nine hundred sixty s. it's near genoa was earth port as well just hearing as well a lie. from

a local italian newspaper describing the part of the city as densely inhabited another story we'll be closely following this hour about of a bridge in general collapsing this morning the amount of casualties not known at this point it's. two other news this hour a taliban militants have overrun a military base in northern afghanistan killing seventeen soldiers that comes as the un has confirmed over one hundred civilians were killed in the latest clashes between the taliban and afghan forces in the city of. command and colleagues have reported that heavy fighting in gaza city in the past three days has resulted in more than one hundred civilian casualties communications networks and electricity supply are currently down in the city resulting in water shortages and food is also

reportedly running low. while fighting there escalated on friday when the taliban attempted to storm it and take control of the is considered a strategic area that would allow the group to link already captured areas close to the capital boule and leave a tranquil looks at how almost two decades of the american led war in afghanistan has failed to make the country it seems and the safer. this is what's happening just a little more than one hundred kilometers from the capital kabul there's barely a camera in gaza any available to film this dreadful battle locals say there are stronger descriptions than simply the tele bed is back in action and if it wasn't for u.s. airstrikes the afghan army could have been in far worse trouble so it makes you

wonder do american diplomats and their military keep in touch there is nothing that precludes us from engaging with the taliban we're doing everything we can to ensure that our actions help the taliban and the afghan government does the same table everything they can only a few weeks ago the state department said talking with the taliban was a good idea and regardless of how hostile their actions the extremists say their forward to this is what we wanted and were waiting for to sit with the us directly and discuss the withdrawal of foreign troops from afghanistan the rumor is there's already been some direct contact at least we know for sure alice wells went to qatar last month where the taliban's got a political office i'm confused the armed group has all but regained its might which not so long ago are in the reputation of outright islamist barbarians in

america and pretty much all over the world we acted and the taliban no longer is in power in afghanistan which is not only good for the security of the free world it is incredibly good for the people who suffered in afghanistan on the barbaric rule . time flies us administrations common go fair enough but the things the people in charge say about insurgents today could be totally different tomorrow taliban this taliban that the taliban are fighting isis and we encourage that because isis needs to be destroyed oh so they're good for something at least if it's about knocking out islamic state yet just a few months earlier general nicholson said the taliban's fight against diana was a piece of russian propaganda we see or a narrative that's being used that grossly exaggerates the number of isis fighters here this narrative then is used as

a justification for the russians to legitimize the actions of the taliban and provide some degree of support complicated hol of ghana's stan business as usual and the american strategy for afghanistan see above the american strategy a strategy from the beginning of the so-called war on terror which was launched off to the september eleventh attacks as this war has turned out to be an utter failure . you know i was we all know it was in a stronger position than it ever was in two thousand and one. so hence i think it's proof that the u.s. has been pursuing a wrong strategy in defeating terrorism on the contrary i think that the u.s. involvement up until now when the focus on military force in the region has the growth of terrorism the taliban is not just pulling out a gun it's firing it it could be time for the pentagon and the state department to

hunt for ideas together and to be more precise. ok more programs right ahead on r.t.e. international just to let you know about our two breaking news stories which we will be following right throughout the day here one hundred meter bridge has collapsed in the italian city of peace of genoa excuse me according to the police dozens are feared dead also in london at the palace of whence mr you case parliament crush a car crash there are being treated a terror inside a lot of details a lot of flux in both those stories we will get them to you in the next number of hours see you in thirty.
