a big crisis within this country and of course it's wrong worldwide. in other news this evening police in the u.k. say the man detained after tuesday's westminster car ramming incident is being held on suspicion of attempted murder and performing an act of terror has been identified he was a british citizen of sydney's origin with more details his and. we do know that the press here are saying that this is a man who is twenty nine years old he is being named as sally kadir british citizen of sudanese origin it's been reported that this man came to britain back in twenty ten as a refugee and applied for asylum and was granted british citizenship within the last two years it's also being reported that this is a man who lived in birmingham and was actually according to some reports being made now in london to reportedly apply for sudanese visa to be able to visit his family

back home it's also being reported that he was not known to the m i five or the counter-terror police but local police in birmingham where he lived were aware of his identity and we do know that police here who are now investigating this case have been saying that he's not been cooperating with them and that's their main priority remains to be able to determine what exactly has motivation is police have investigated and looked into two properties that could have been associated with him still searching and other but no other people have been arrested in connection to this so the police are continuing to look into that and we're also hearing here that the car that he had driven to london in from birmingham actually arrived the night before this incident took place and interesting we just mentioned we know that the metropolitan police commissioner here in london has said that it might be not the worst idea to consider pedestrian rising westminster because of what she's described these vehicle attacks being weapons of choice all see if that happens and

we've also heard from the london mayor said you can see that it also might not be a bad idea to have security not just in westminster but in london. the next we're going to anticipate because right now two russian cosmonauts are carrying out a record long seven hour space walk at the international space station both are equipped with cameras and right behind me you can see pictures coming live from there as i speak in from. these pictures are from our chimney it's his third time in space and every now and again we do get a glimpse of another cause not out there to see he's right next to a surrogate proc procopio if it's his first mission up there they started this space for couple of hours ago and would busy carrying out repairs for about another five hours and that will make it one of the longest space critics in history they will also released by hand we are told for nano satellites two of them were developed by the russians schoolchildren to monitor the earth's weather and those

spacesuits to that they are wearing a new generation of space where two we're told apparently they are equipped with climate control and also those on board cameras that can shoot three sixty degree video use rubber elements have also been replaced a poor thing which is hoped will give the suits a much longer lived lives live pictures because we're looking at the space walk place at the international space station as i speak some pretty good pictures is hard to tell exactly what we're looking at there but. you can get a glimpse of the curvature of the earth every now and again this will keep our eye on that for you and that's clearly. coming up and down there so these are great pictures coming from the the body cameras of these cosmonauts and they'll be up there doing that spacewalk for another five. we've been talking about you've just seen that work here is known for his space blog too which is the tail his trips to the i assess since twenty four to. battle because he was

the other with the liquidity. work actually i think it's terrific. for her. career for her. was the focus of her publicly accusing her of her reluctance i was look up. the photos of the close look at the door. to the future of

work from work which is for the purpose. for. our thanks to you now another day and yet another banging on social media twitter his latest blocking measure targets the accounts of libertarian commentator gov guinness and his organization called the proud boys with a proud voice is a group that operates in the u.s. u.k. canada and also astray and it promotes itself as a collective of western chauvinists some of its members took part in the notorious old fright rally in charlottesville in august last year but since then it has tried

to distance itself from the old fright the pride boys ban came ahead of a similar rally to the one held in charlottesville called unite the right to it is said that the organization has violated its policy on violent extremists groups well earlier r.t. debated the issue with our guests if you read what we wrote including what i personally wrote before and after charlottesville it was something we wanted not. thing to do with it was an absolute abject disaster run by psychopaths and i'm happy it failed i think it might just be coincidental that it was shut down after that unless of course somebody didn't want people to know that there are reasonable people in the new right who are saying we don't want anything to do with that kind of racist nazi dreck which we don't which is a good thing the left should be celebrating that there's right wing groups saying don't do that you're a you're a very fringe extreme for it thousands of our boys disagree spouses and you can do whatever you want to target or as far as i'm concerned i don't i don't follow you i

don't want to buy you you know what it's like you have no argument other than say racist racist racist and you think that we're going to cower and go oh i guess you win we're not racist you know we're not racist well i know there's violence in your eyes your children's nanny but there's any hate. if it oh do you now now if there's any they all hate you read me the line that i wrote. it's all hate speech in other words you have no argument you did no homework your own educated twist this decision somewhat surprising given that it cools violent extremists create that they themselves have denied for years connections to any extremist movement say is activism now considered extremism is this that she went to beijing hanau we would like to have no hate speech no racism no divisions in our country and they the divisions in our country and the racism do not come from twitter they

do not come from facebook they do not come from our email and such and i believe that the poor racist boys should have their website i mean i believe that you should be on twitter i believe that you have facebook's who gets to pick out who gets to pick out what hate speech is who gets to pick out what racism is how come one thing is racist for one people but it's not racist for another people how come one thing could be hate speech here but it's not hate speech over here it does your privilege and only thing to add to fight hate speech evolution right right i got it i'm privileged and i get a fight racism yeah the only one what are you ok only thing to put you're the most privileged person in this conversation right now i guarantee it the only thing to fiery hate speech is more speech and better speech. the turkish president spokesperson says that washington has almost completely halted relations it comes amid a rising standoff over tariffs so he is high to right some came products now including

cars and also alcohol. the u.s. has brought relations with turkey to an almost complete hoax our disappointment is profound. there i was aggravated when ankara detained in american passed over alleged links to terrorism among other measures washington slapped additional terrorist. unstable that sent the turkish lira plummeting to record lows against the us dollar turkish stocks have also tumble release pastor andrew bronson now or be prepared to face the consequences. who will respond to the u.s. declaring a trade on the whole world by answering new markets and finding allies at the president's direction the department of treasury is sanctioning turkey's minister of justice and minister of interior. we will boycott u.s.

electronic goods. are waging an economic war against turkey for this reason i've changed all my u.s. dollars into turkish the roots. i think we should always use locally made products after the spike in the u.s. dollar the prices for foreign products increased dramatically people can no longer afford them. the whole world is watching america cannot confront us directly but it uses the dollar to wage hidden war well the u.s. state department spokesperson was pressed by journalists on the global effects of the turkish american dispute. bilateral issue between the united states has now ruled emerging markets we've heard everything from mexico to india currencies moreover the developing world of been affected by this and what stage does one stop that that you know the the rest of the world doesn't sink to the bottom of the

economic pile well i think what we're seeing overall. and i'm not a an economist of course but economists would certainly tell you that what is happening in turkey goes far beyond the united states and united states recent policies. ok we're pleased to say now we can discuss this was old man for glue he's the former turkish ambassador to the u.s. and he's with us now and thank you very much for your time we were hearing there in that report how turkey hitting back do you think that washington might regret regret the actions that it's taken. mr the latter part of the question quit europe you can of course do you think washington will regret taking the action that it has. but look i think every actor i've called in a down or syndrome between turkey and the united states these are reciprocal of the

tribes. playing with their customs duties and i'm not sure they're helping out the situation between the two sides it's a nuts holding of the problems and i have to say that the american with the white house that maybe a trumpet administration rhetoric and a visit to turkey is absolutely unacceptable that is like giving orders or ultimatums to an allied country to do certain things and this is quite unacceptable and not this is a good day you have seen before in turkish american relations and it indoors we did experience it imposed has more serious problems in the past but the two sides were able to monitor these differences and mend that relationship and now horsemen at least the crisis is getting wider and deeper. in that the two

sides and that american approach. is is unjustified uncalled for or intent and that disrespectful or well it will fall to the basic rules of conduct that be in that between two nations so how bad do you think the situation could get. i don't think it can get any worse than this because i think that what b. could see in the economic realm. the raising the mutual basing of tyrants on important products in porto to buy do you less or exported to turkey by the u.s. . the tread. overrode the shadow of f a thirty five fighters aircraft is still pending it's still that is still

time to. resolve that issue. the place turkey thing that hurt or hurt would be if america continues to persist. in. international financial institutions like the i.m.f. and the world bank because of the trumpet ministration has altered the instructor that you had to to this and those institutions to oppose the extension of credit facilities which had to turkey and the turkish economy at the moment it does need foreign credits foreign investments so that's one area that things are going to force you to church idealists much. in the struggle going to have to leave it everyone i have to time but we appreciate your thoughts and your time tonight it was a month. ago gleeful metallic basket to the u.s.

thank you and. now he when peacekeepers is set to return to the garden heights off to the area it was liberated from jihadists however the region is still hawkie contested with syria and israel fighting ivory for decades with each with the details his yukos you don. this city in the golan heights is one of the latest sites where the syrian army has brought terrorist ruled to an end. we were among the first international news crews inside after its liberation well just months ago the city of me was still under the control of well with most of the infrastructure gone this is the main focus of the syrian government now.

liberated but far from safe we weren't allowed further inside the city the hardest have made the mining the area a painstaking process for decades the golan heights have been fought over both syria and israel claims the land is theirs as far as the un is concerned it's definitely syrian but that's food to stop the exchange of fire. it got worse when the jihadi advance so un peacekeepers flee in twenty fourteen they'd been the only force to try and ease tensions considering the volatility of the situation here at the golan heights the u.n. made a big point out of establishing a presence here well speaking about this particular checkpoint they were driven out

by terrorists al nusra front and i saw the two main factions that briefly gained a foothold here and well this area doesn't need any more hostility there's plenty of it here already after all the front line was just over there with a friend i saw holding some territory and it is. doesn't need terrorists on its border and its jet points begins right over those mountains now at least the un patrols can begin again with the help of some russian backup. together with a u.n. representative we conducted an initial patrol during which we checked the safety of the roads. the main problem is that there are lots of explosives. we've sent all the information we have to the un peacekeeping force for analysis to reconstruct you in checkpoints the russian military police are helping the u.n. mission to inspect the u.n. checkpoints on the golan heights may still be territorially be in

a state of flux but at least the terrorists are finally been repelled and the un peacekeepers can get on with the job done of reporting from the golan heights in syria to r.t. what we asked the un mission to comment on the situation and it has confirmed it is implementing a gradual return to the golan heights. pays war and they are sickened by us high street fashion giant gap showing a young muslim girl wearing a headscarf thousands of people have now signed a petition to demanding gap end the ad campaign with a back to school campaign was shot in new york but when gap kids published the photos and videos on its french social media sites it sparked a massive outcry muslim clothing is a divisive issue in france with a jab style head coverings banned in schools and the country secularity or separation of state and church isn't shined in the constitution whereas the us

first amendment guarantees freedom of religion and expression but we went on to the streets of paris to gauge opinion on gaps make. an acceptable to boycott go just because they show a girl with a veil perhaps you bitches no big deal veiled girl there's there way she sees things this is not the concern. in the back three it's not something we are used to we see women wearing veils but rarely children. i'm against showing a little girl learning a whale i think it's a shame to get says young children and halt in a hurry to stick to. what we have asked to comment on this story let you know when they reply to me while french politicians are already calling to boycott the brand gap salsa little veiled girl market in promotes submission to islam is where are the need to out to pig movements gap continues that submission to islam islam

with its posters of veiled little girls i have denounced several times this rise in power or the veil imposed on little girls which is an abuse and trampling on our values of equality freedom and secularism article truism expert cecille approve says that the french tradition though is to embrace or not to shut down provocative advertising but as far as the government is concerned their questions should be ok is it legal or illegal in france putting the veil on in school is illegal so if the picture were something that were happening in school then to get france would have to ask us to make a different picture because they can't. put a schoolgirl in a veil trans should embrace its diversity so in my opinion. these type of pictures should be welcome in trance and i used to work in the perfume industry and france was always very very free about showing

a lot of the female body and pretty america is meant. if we had clients in other countries who didn't agree with it or who had a lot where you couldn't expose the ladies. too much and we simply provided them with another picture. you know based on the legality if france has a problem with that you know they can always ask that. the leader of germany's left party is launching a new political movement called stand up one of itself or claim goals is to defend the interests of those who feel ignored by the current government. that make up yeah let's assume it's a copy and address it. because of it's been in the if you know ya them good kind of statement that was all comes over from some young boys who took us off from the far right.

well the group will be looking to rally leftwing voters and pressure german politicians to create a left wing government stand up is also looking to win over so-called protest voters who oppose the direction the country is heading in its leader is against the current administration's open borders policy and says the unlimited access migrants have to germany's labor market shouldn't there have to be open borders for the persecuted but we certainly can say that anyone who wants to you may come to germany claim social benefits and look who work it's detached from reality and according to a new poll to as many as thirty four percent of german voters could support the new movement if elections were held we heard from a german m.p. who has pledged to support the new group. yeah that will happen we have a exchanging operation that actually with bernie sanders possible in the united

states where against hillary clinton they missed out on getting the democratic nomination because of clinton intrigue we are also in close contact with the supporters of jeremy torben the momentum movement in the united kingdom clean and also with the campaign of france or john the who got almost twenty percent in the last century addition. to the left are split and weaken not just in germany and the whole of europe but we do have a trend towards the right we would like to combine forces to make a progressive breakthrough when you look at polling there's always a majority that want better paid better pension and non-confrontational foreign policy regarding russia and are also against nato expansion through on top of them a political direction and policy of. the us after. we have to present something different from the alternative for germany party in the last two or three years s.p.d.

the greens order didn't show a successful strategy for doing that and competent rather the opposite a video is getting stronger and there is a chance for them becoming the people's party which is absurd the left should return to its core ideals and goals social questions should be the keystone us. also shot up by fluting integration policy has pretty much friended the minimum wage defunct what was once a one euro job no only brings eighty cents that obviously if you take people in you need to ask them somewhere that there are a lot of people under the stress created by the social situation those people need to be able to earn a wage that lets them live in dignity if this is not happening it's understandable that people become angry and lean towards right wing party it is those people that we will be reaching out to for the sake of our democracy watching out international financial company this evening we're back again with the headlines and more news in africa.

i'm afshin rattansi if you're watching a special season finale edition of going underground no international or national story in the u.k. is arguably more dominated this season that allegations that in march the russian federation violated international law on british soil the story is that the sanctions and some of the worst london mosque are.
