this is our two international bringing you your global news update this hour with me jacqueline logo welcome to the park. police in london have confirmed they're treating a car crash outside of 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 counterterror unit says the suspect is currently not cooperated and police are now searching three addresses in the region he here's video of police responding to the incident. oh i.

was. at around seven thirty am a silver hatchback drove at full speed through the westminster area before crashing into barriers outside the house of parliament if not for parliament summer recess this would normally be a bustling government area though with iconic landmarks nearby like big ben and westminster abbey it's always very popular with tourists police have now lifted the cordon from around the area with the area already haven't been been the scene of previous attacks m.p.'s are now considering closing the road outside parliament vehicles tuesday's incident left three people injured two were hospitalized with non-life threatening injuries extra officers have been since patrolling the streets

of england scotland and wales and the government's car emergency response committee met this afternoon to discuss the incident and to see a check in at reports from westminster 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 happened what we do know is about twenty minutes before eight in the morning on 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 police had arrested one man and taken him into custody to a police station in south london where. he is being questioned according to scotland yard however this amount is not cooperating with authorities quite yet this is what they had to say the driver of the fiesta 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 south london police station where he remains in custody. given that this appears to be. the method and this being an iconic site we are treating it as a terrorist incident and the investigation is being led by officers from the counterterrorism tonight 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 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've seen. a call drive an erratic lead towards houses apartment and the great she hit the one of the big one logs the barrier is did you see the man who was in the car for the rest i kind of soy think

he was quite a dog and a. year each year of being and he seemed quite. calm to me didn't seem he wasn't i didn't see him i didn't hear him screaming or anything will show in and didn't resist arrest is worrying because i'm a father of two young sons you know age almost seven and five and a hoffman were in i mean but this. 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 on holidays are. 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. you won't succeed where you want to fight us will be cowed by terrorists. you will see over the next few days i mean creased number of. across london. the attempts to divide us much countless acts of kindness that brought people closer together. and. they continue to be visible patrols around manchester which include the deployment of offices.

in london as we'll see an increased police presence today and over the course of the next few days no reason to be a lot. like the people in a. london 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 should bridge there's no question that intelligence is katie foiling sorting and i. 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 attacker actually gets through to his 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 in day turned 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 to 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 it's 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 adding more thought of no go zones that we're. going to become worse and

also we don't want to give any terrorist or a person any sense of success in carrying us into doing one thing or the other the result of their actions so it's something that should be considered but why very carefully. a major highway bridge has collapsed in the northern italian city of genoa some vehicles plunging one hundred meters emergency services say thirty five people are confirmed to have been killed including a child. he will stay breached like the general wants will be highly patch on the wheels

that when you slow week the problem is that the concrete is would be probably already cracked and the or solutions dog or natural we blow we police released the risk of the breeder fracture failure of this kind of pressure be a sudden and highly destructive maintenance of such the mission be used it's highly costly there works. for the maintenance and where the problem is he sent but apparently it was unpredictable on a such router structure the government would be managed by doing. the seizure that would be totally closed after work and rebuilds. the latin american news channel telesur 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 artist and 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 there's 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 beach tellus are 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 coincidence 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 in four was an alternative to controversial media platform run by alex jones was also banned by you tube our poll and facebook

for violating policies and terms of use and what do these have in common and independent platform criticized for spreading all right conspiracy theories and the 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 bans during 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

a burn increasingly though the question will be asked is it violating social media policies or violating mainstream consensus and prevalent narratives that can really land you in hot water we've asked facebook to comment on why they banned the outlet so far they've chosen not to respond. iran's supreme leader says he won't negotiate with washington after president terms latest offer to talk about improving ties at the same time president anyone has announced that turkey will boycott u.s. electronics killam up 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 what. not make it worse 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 talks were on the table i believe in meeting i would certainly meet with a room if they wanted to meet and ready to meet anytime they want to but he ron's supreme leader wasn't having it but i mean look you there will be no war nor will we negotiate with the us 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 who attempt now trump says he wants him released. the united states will impose large sanctions on turkey for the long time detainment 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 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 stop your strategic partner in the battle we will do as the law dictates you cannot simply make sure you can bow down or buy bossing

us around meanwhile russia is not exactly caving in the face of sanctions yes it was possible to put 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 collaboration of i cannot make it work and it would be necessary to react to this war economically politically or even 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 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 seeking for. 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 awful 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 that deal to refer to three reverend brown said and turkey simply got a patient so it's quite possible that something will be worked out on that one.

taliban militants have overrun a military base in northern afghanistan killing seventeen soldiers that says the u.n. has confirmed over one hundred civilians were killed in the latest clashes between the taliban and afghan forces in the city of gaza any 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 cause me province no no no i have escaped from gaza province where the fighting is still ongoing it's been about five days since the conflict started but there is 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 grozny 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 getting reinforcements and the bitter end go looks at how after almost two decades of american led war in afghanistan has failed to make the country it appears 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 us 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's 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 the reputation of out reich 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 strategy from the beginning of this 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 talking about it now is 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 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 was announced interest on the 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 bigger into 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 home 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 and 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 amman 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 just 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 house 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 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 a heinous 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 returns serious still very insecure there's still a lot of war going on in syria even though out of the seven million people that escaped 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 far dual that we have 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 and 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 european inhabit. double for them hatred towards assad unites a lot of syrians who chose to flee their country well now that 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 to reporting from syria see that's a global news update for this hour but don't forget you can always had to our website r.t. dot com the latest on all those stories and more. we

have no idea what if he's doing on vacation but she will be back in september.
