you're watching our chief international coming to you live from moscow welcome to the program. police and britain have confirmed they're treating a car crash outside parliament as a terror attack the vehicle crashed into security barriers after injuring cyclists and pedestrians during tuesday morning rush hour the driver was detained by armed police who rushed to the scene the suspect who is now in police custody on suspicion of terror fences has been identified as a twenty nine year old british citizen he is not believed to have been previously known to british intelligence and is thought to be from the city of birmingham and the english midlands the head of the u.k.'s counter terror unit says the suspect is not cooperating police are now searching three addresses in the region however here's a video of police responding to the incident. at

full speed to the westminster area. of parliament parliament this would normally be a bustling government area. it's always very popular with tourists police have now lifted the cordon around the area and say intelligence indicates there's no further danger to the public. hospital. following the incident officers are patrolling the streets of england scotland and wales and the emergency response committee. to discuss it.

we are as close as physically possible to the houses of parliament that area is now cordoned off as you can see behind me while police now investigate what it is exactly that happens what we do know is about twenty minutes before eight in the morning what is being described as a silver ford fiesta had hit cyclists and then crashed into security barriers right outside houses of parliament again the parliament right now is in recess so no m.p.'s were present there at the time and we know that armed police had arrested one man and taken him to into custody to a police station in south london where he is being questioned according to scotland yard however this mound is not cooperating with authorities quite yet this is what they had to say the driver of the fiesta who was alone in the vehicle was arrested

at the scene by armed officers who are already knew. the man is in his late twenty's and he's been arrested on suspicion of terrorism offenses and has been taken to a police station where he remains in custody. given that this appears to be. the method of this being an iconic sites we are treating it as a terrorist incident and the investigation is being led by officers from the counterterrorism from the two people were injured and taken to hospital it's understood that they're not in critical condition and are going to be fine following this attack and so we've been talking to a witness here a local resident who saw it all with his own my eyes let's take a listen to how he described what happened i was seeing. a car driving direct you could lead to the parliament and the bridge be. the one of the big logs the barrier is did you see the man who was in the car who they arrest. and

he's here with court. he seemed quiet. to me didn't seem he was and i didn't see him i didn't hear him screaming or anything or show in and didn't resist a raise is worrying because i'm a father of two young sons you know age almost seven and five and a half and it's worrying and i mean but. this is like this is one of this is like the number one city in the world in my prince of london you know you so many tourists come here throughout the year and you know it's beautiful weather and you know another thing i understand all the m.p.'s are on holidays. landis' i don't know what it's all about well if confirmed by the police that this is a terrorist attack it's going to turn out to be the first one this year but unfortunately one of several have taken place recently.

he won't succeed and you want to fight us we will be cowed by terrorists. you will see over the next few days i mean creased number of. across london. the attempts to make countless acts of kindness that brought people closer together . and we continue to be visible patrols around manchester which include the deployment of offices.

in london as will see an increased police presence today and of the. course of the next few days no reason to be alone so could. you please let me take. that as we'll see an increased number of visible police officers. we discussed the incident with x. british police officer roger gray and former intelligence officer trial shoebridge . there's no question that intelligence is key to foiling sorting and i believe in preventing these attacks taking place and in that respect for example as we've seen today if the intelligence systems fail to the extent that an attack actually gets through to its target today it was against a hard target but was it to be

a softer target in terms of civilians in the street for example tourists and so on then of course there's nothing can be done at that stage and very little can be done to actually protect them should this indeed turn out to be a terrorist attack but of course it's too early at this stage at least to speculate about today's incident and whether any of those considerations were actually applied but generally speaking of course intelligence cooperation between the different intelligence bodies and the trust that's needed between those intelligence bodies to actually share intelligence in a meaningful way and in a timely way rather than just sitting on the intelligence is absolutely vital and not just between your pin and other partners but between the intelligence services and the police in the countries themselves including as has been a problem in the past in the united kingdom to there's a danger of overreaction as well london is congested enough as it is it toyman if we start being more sort of no go zones that we're let's go to become worse and also we don't want to give any terrorist or

a person any sense of success in incurring us into doing one thing or the other the result of their actions so it's something we should be considered but why very carefully. a major highway bridge has collapsed in the northern italian city of genoa sending vehicles plunging one hundred meters emergency services think thirty five people are confirmed to have been killed including a child. cables they have breached like the general ones that would be highly patched on are there

we when he is low weak but the problem is that the concrete that is would be probably already cracked and the or solutions dog or natural we blow we please release the risk of the breeder trash or failure of this kind of structure of the asunder and highly destructive maintenance of such that we should be used is highly costly there works. for the maintenance and where the problem is he sent but the program was unpredictable on a such router structure that going to be managed by doing. that would be totally closed after work and rebuilds. iran's supreme leader says he won't negotiate with washington after president trump latest offer to talk about improving ties at the sametime present aired on has announced that turkey will boycott u.s. electronics and picks up the start. 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 worse threats to the united states. they will be met with fire 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 but i believe in meeting i would certainly meet with the room if they wanted to meet and ready to meet anytime they want to buddy ron's 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 brunson who 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 terrorists and 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 to talk about we are partners in nato and then you stab your strategic partner in the back and we will do as the law dictates you cannot simply make sure to bow down or by bus in us around meanwhile russia is not exactly caving in the face of sanctions yes it was possible which the but if some ban on banks operations or on their use of one or another currency it would be possible to clearly call it a declaration of economic war and it would be necessary to react to this war economically politically or if indeed by other means 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 and it seems that his reputation as

a great negotiator is on the rocks table r.t. washington d.c. former u.s. ambassador to croatia peter galbraith told us it's unclear whether sanctions will have the effect washington is sinking. 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 full 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 work the 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 brunson and turkey simply got it patients so it's quite possible something will be worked out on that one. a lot of american news channel tell ther has been banned from facebook for the second time this year and the outlet is not alone and being sidelined by the social media giant are too thin hawkins looks into a possible new trend of censorship. a news outlet activist old radio host banned by a social media platform for violating terms of use some familiar nowadays just as one scandal over suspending or banning subsides another one brews this time it's the latin american news channel tell us stood that's been on the receiving end of a facebook blackout and not for the first time back in january this year the news

outlet temporarily disappeared from facebook allegedly due to an internal mistake on the platform today though things got more serious your page jealous or english has been removed for violating our terms of use telesur a say they received no further explanation of why exactly their page was removed they see this incident as no quick incidence but rather a pattern of censorship by social media giants now in case you're wondering this isn't a case of deja vu just last week in fact info was an alternative to the controversial media platform run by alex jones was also banned by you tube our poll and facebook for violating policies and terms of use now what do these have in common an independent platform criticized for spreading all right conspiracy theories and a left leaning channel publicly funded by venezuela cuba bolivia. and seemingly

diametrically opposed views the answer is both a critical of the american establishment war lobby and global regime change both have now faced by and ziering the battle against fake news conducted by facebook along with its new partners such as the digital forensic research lab now this is an offshoot of the atlantic council think tank in turn a member of the atlantic treaty organization although formally independent of nato and washington openly sharing both their values and speakers fighting fake news is a noble cause terms of use platforms individua. violet expect. increasingly though the question will be arsed is it violates social media policies or violating mainstream consensus prevalent narratives that can really do you in hot water with us facebook to comment on why they ban the outlet so far they've chosen not to respond. taliban militants have overrun

a military base in northern afghanistan killing seventeen soldiers it says the un has confirmed over one hundred civilians were killed in the latest clashes between the taliban and afghan forces in the city of gosney locals who managed to flee the area described what they've been through. many people including the one of my neighbors were killed there i saw my friend dying he was among thirteen people including children and women who were killed during an airstrike last night guys in the province. i have escaped from gaza province where the fighting is still ongoing it's been about five days since the conflict started but there's no attention from the government and no facilities for the residents dead bodies are still on the road sides i've also been injured the city of gaza has long been considered a strategic area due to its close vicinity to the capital kabul fighting there escalated on friday when the taliban attempted to storm gosney and take control

taliban fighters have been blocking the roads in and out of the city to prevent the afghan military from getting reinforcements there. looks at how after almost two decades of the american led war in afghanistan it's failed to make the country it appears at least any 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 ben 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 an gauging 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 they're 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 them a 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 come and 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 dyess was a piece of russian propaganda we see here 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 chose 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 that to 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 be more precise. more than twenty five thousand refugees have returned to syria in the past four months

authorities say that people have been coming back since victory over terrorist groups there it was announced it was done of met some of the returning. and the border between syria and lebanon which is literally some two kilometers away from here is expected to become a major flood gate for those whose home sickness has turned into something big going to the actual return home right now we are at one out of five ports of entry established by the syrian government as they welcome its citizens whole there were many things to run from terror. pointless and unspeakable brutality but now there's one homeland. we suffered from terrorism for three years and eight months all kinds of weapons were used against us but we stood firm and did not give up and kept fighting until we were transferred here the terrorists who are against life itself against peaceful citizens women and children it was very difficult for

us to live but the terrorists were living in good conditions come to the terrorists left my city so i decided to return because it is safe there now i learned my town in syria is safe and that is why i decided to return with my family the government has promised to restore infrastructure in a modest scale from hospitals to schools judging by the walls in this school there's a new subject on the curriculum and it's called survival from different types of landmines to improvised explosive devices and to simply objects that kids should be aware of this is what children in this school will be taught about when it opens this september but not everyone will be welcomed back to revive a peaceful existence here like the white helmet hailed as a rescue organization by the west damascus isn't looking forward to their return syria's living abroad who have committed nothing against their i mean you know citizens should the sheer or nothing at all the government will ensure their safety

and those who chose to flee the country should have committed the crimes. which made them very afraid of staying in the country so the white helmets are criminals and they should be treated this way there are many displaced syrians who are being moved against getting ready to come home just yet we think that it's premature to promote return it's serious feel very insecure there's still a lot of war going on in syria even though out of the seven million people that escape the conflict almost equals the rule of them to come back to syria but there will be no hope rebuilding the country from the west florida will there be a particular western countries should support the return of syrian citizens and lift economic sanctions against syria because people who want to return need

schools hospitals food and shelter for their families the e.u. and the us have been when we say the e.u. we must remember is britain is the driving force of the policy towards towards syria but britain and us lead in you following along in its wake have since twenty eleven made it their policy to destroy syria to destroy the syrian government by any means necessary to facilitate a train and equip a sectarian brutal sectarian insurgency that laid waste to the country their policy has been to make syria uninhabitable and their policy remains to ensure that it stays uninhabitable so syrian refugees in europe absolutely caught between well a rock and a hard place is putting it very very mildly on the one hand they have the e.u. then the us still continuing to enact this policy of making their own country uninhabitable and then in the same time you have this growing fascist street

movement in. in the e.u. that's actually has even influence over for example the british government whose policy is to basically make europe uninhabited. will for them hatred towards assad unites a lot of syrians who chose to flee their country well now if these judging by the promises the syrian government seems to be extending an olive branch to those who seek to do no more damage done of reporting from syria see that's a global news update for this hour but don't forget you can always head to our website or to dot com for the latest on all of those stories and more.

so here you have now this new attempt at a global unit of the count a global currency. that will be controlled by any subtle government down as the chance to do what's called failed. to escape the tricks of the central bankers and they will the economists.
