4:02 pm
any involvement in the assault instead the attacks being blamed on islamic state although no one has yet claimed responsibility. for this comes after reports of at least forty five security personnel being killed after the taliban did attack a military camp north of kabul local journalists reports. it has been a very deadly day for afghanistan it's a very bloody day for afghanistan not only in northen afghanistan but also in eastern afghanistan some twelve at least twelve soldiers have been killed and three are missing but in province specifically in. in that location were still. there are conflicting reports that you know all forty five people or afghan security forces have been killed but speaking earlier to a spokesperson for the north and corpse he didn't confirm the death of the soldiers

4:04 pm
i saw my friend dying he was among thirteen people including children and women who were killed during an air strike last night there's no attention from the government no facilities for the rest of the dead bodies are still on the roads i've also been injured. professor of history and international relations the lebanese university in bay reached my working belief that the u.s. is exhausting its ability to provide stability in the country the united states being involved in too many crisis the resources are being drained and at the same time it's antagonizing russia china. iran even pakistan india and other countries and its attempt to maintain its head germany over global affairs but this is exhausting the united states and i believe that
4:05 pm
it's leading it to overextension the way. they did. by the historian paul kennedy in his famous book the rise and fall of great empires so i believe the united states is being overstretched it might lead to a big crisis within this country and of course it's wrong worldwide. now 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 he has been identified he was a british citizen of sudanese origin with more details his and the situation we do know that the press here are saying. this is a man who is twenty nine years old he is being named as a caterer british citizen of sudanese origin it's been reported that this man came to britain back in twenty ten as
4:06 pm
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 that night for this incident took place and interesting we just mentioned we know that
4:07 pm
the metropolitan police commissioner here in london has said that it might be not the worst idea to consider pedestrian eyes in westminster because of what she's described these vehicle attacks being weapons of choice so we'll see if that happens and we've also heard from the london mayor said khan see that it also might not be about idea to have security not just in westminster but in london. there right now two russian cosmonauts are carrying out a wreck all day long seven hour space walk at the international space station and both are equipped with cameras to i'm right behind me you can see pictures coming live from them as i speak in fact these pictures are from. b.f. it's his first mission up there and every now and again we do get a glimpse of the other cosmonaut next to him a chimney of four or legates his third time in space that did start this space for more than four hours ago and will be busy carrying out repairs for about another
4:08 pm
three hours or so and that will make it one of the longest space walks in history those space suits they're wearing to a new generation of space where we're told apparently they are equipped with their climate control and also those onboard cameras that can shoot three sixty degree video through that shot there live from the international space station's they're carrying out that space will can see the earth below them as they carry out the repairs on the outside of the international space station those suits i was talking about will rubber elements have also been replaced with. inside them which is hoped will give the suits a much longer life span now as part of this current space walk cosmonauts were also released for nano satellites built as part of a special project with russian universities and also schools serious sat or serious sam as it's nicknamed would provide data about space weather and to them were built by six students in only around a month or so and while launching satellites is normally hugely expensive for the
4:09 pm
students it was free and under an initiative with the russian space corporation ross cause most of the other two units cooled a new part of an experiment to see whether it is possible for satellites to organize themselves in terms of their positions in orbit. well who's doing today space walk is also known for his space blog too which is he has detailed his trips on. the i assess since twenty forty. because here's the you know the worth of a feel. for . her was her our
4:10 pm
work which except. for her. was. her i was. her. was. for me but if you think you are. correct this is really as i was brought up i thought it was a close look at the video. that you get out of work from work which is so. if it's.
4:11 pm
now another day and also another banning on social media twitter his latest blocking measure does target the accounts of libertarian commentator gavin maginnis and his organization called the pride boys pride boys is a group that operates in the u.s. the u.k. canada and australia it does promote itself as a collective of western chauvinist and some of its members did take part in the notorious old fright rally in charlottesville in august. but since then it has tried to distance itself from the old right with the pride boys begin came ahead of a similar rally to the one held in charlottesville cooled you know the right to decide the organization has violated its policy on fall into extremist groups and. the debate to 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
4:12 pm
nothing 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 wasn't for you our boys disagree spouses and you can do whatever you want to target as far as i'm concerned that i don't i don't follow you i don't want to be by you you know what it's like you have no argument other didn't 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 head wants man but there's any hate. if it oh do you now now if there's any day all day i. 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
4:13 pm
twist this decision somewhat surprising given that it cools a violent extremist grant that they themselves have denied for years connections to white groups so any extremist me if men say is activism now considered extremism is this 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 there should be on twitter i believe they should 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
4:14 pm
speech here but it's not hate speech over here it does your privileged only thing to add to fight hate speech evolution what is a right right i got a gun privilege they fight racism yeah the only way and what are you ok only fit to fit your the most privileged person in this conversation right now i guarantee you the only thing to fire a reason to hate speech is more speech and better speech well some people no longer go on twitter not because of a ban but because they left the platform voluntarily the study and the roses deleted her account. for being. a lesbian jewish version of woman in an upcoming series.
4:15 pm
a jewish lesbian character should be played by a jewish lesbian it's a simple concept so sarah so witty rapoport casting had a chance to give an unknown jewish lesbian the role of a lifetime to have exact representation for the character and instead went with the publicity stunt on the next is need chances to please recall. who's a lesbian batwoman should be played by an actual female bad.
4:16 pm
is now the right time considering the world in which we live right now for me to play a real life character who is irredeemable racist in a dramatic series. but other news now on the turkish president spokes person has said that washington is almost completely halted relations it comes amid a rising standoff over terrorists. right sunk a merican products including cars and alcohol. truth here in. the u.s. has brought relations with turkey to an almost complete hoax or disappointment is profound. well the rye was aggravated when anchorage detained in american passed over alleged links to terrorism among other measures washington slapped additional tariffs on turkish alimony and and also steel and that sent the turkish lira
4:17 pm
plummeting to record lows against the us dollar turkish stocks have also tumbled release pastor andrew bronson now or be prepared to face the consequences. 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
4:18 pm
uses the dollar to wage hidden war while the u.s. state department spokes person is pressed by journalists on the global effect the turkish american dispute. a bilateral issue between the united states and turkey has now ruled emerging markets we've heard everything from mexico to india currencies or more over the developing world of being affected by this and what stage does one stop this and so 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 where the former turkish foreign minister yes a yak has told us that the u.s. presence quote undiplomatic behavior is losing him friends across the globe. it is
4:19 pm
more aimed at the political goal rather than economic and because if turkey's economy. can more wonder will they want to use this leverage for political purposes this is something we're all doing things unfortunately he's doing. the plume i think way from the growth this new. route of almost everyone including nato allies scores like that. so if you listen entirely with you know it will be more full of the. un peacekeepers are set to return to the golan heights are to the area was liberated from jihadists however the region is still hotly contested with syria and israel fighting over it for decades this article she dumped now reports this city
4:20 pm
in the golan heights is one of the latest sites where the syrian army has brought to risk ruled to an end. we were among the first international news crews inside after its liberation just months ago the city of can a chubby i mean it was still under the control of the north well with most of the infrastructure gone this is the main focus of the syrian government now. was liberated but far from safe we weren't allowed inside the city if you hardest have made demining the area a painstaking process for decades the golan heights have been fought over both
4:21 pm
syria and israel. 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 into any fourteen they've been the only fools to try and ease tensions considering the volatility of the situation here at the golan heights the un 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 world this area doesn't need any more has still it see there's plenty of it here already after all the front line was just over there with again no strength i saw holding some territory and israel doesn't need terrorists on its
4:22 pm
border and it's checkpoints begin right over those mountains now at least the u.n. patrols can begin again with the help of some russian backup. but it 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 the golan heights may still be territorially be in a state of flux but at least the terrorists have finally been repelled and the u.n. peacekeepers can get on with the job and we've done of reporting from the golan heights in syria for r.t. we did ask the un mission to comment on the situation there and it has confirmed
4:23 pm
that is implementing it. roger return to the golan heights. french m.p.'s french m.p.'s story have warned they are sickened by u.s. high street fashion giant gap showing a young muslim girl wearing a headscarf thousands of people have now signed a petition to demanding that gap and the ad campaign or the back to school campaign was shot in new york but when gap kids publish the photos and videos on its french social media sites it sparked a massive outcry that's because muslim clothing is a divisive issue in france with job star head coverings banned in schools the country secularity or separation of state and churches and shrines in the constitution where is the us first amendment does guarantee freedom of religion and expression to we went on to the streets of paris to gauge opinion on gaps move. the masses in. a boycott go just because they sure.
4:24 pm
superclasses it which is no big deal. gurl there's the way she sees things on this now the concern. on the back three it's not something we're used to see women wearing veils but really children where these are from. dog i'm against showing a little girl learning of we think it's a shame to get says young children in a world tomorrow to stick to issues concerning really. what we are stuck for comment i'm a let you know when they do respond in the meantime french politicians are already calling to boycott the brand. charles the little veiled girl markets 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 a 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 multiculturalism expert the roof says that the french
4:25 pm
edition though is to embrace not to shut down provocative advertising but as far as the government is concerned there question should be ok is it legal or illegal in france putting the veil on in school is illegal so if the texture 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 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 in profumo advertisements and if we had clients in other countries who didn't agree with it or who had laws where you couldn't expose a lady's difficulty or body too much and we simply provided them with another
4:26 pm
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 parties launch a new political movement called stand up one of its goals is to defend the interests of those who do feel ignored by the current government. yeah that's. because it's going to. be seen as a side yard of good. comes over from senior boys who took us off from. the group will be looking to rally left wing 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 leaders against the current administration's open borders policy and says the unlimited access migrants
4:27 pm
to have to germany's labor market should end. 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 or work it's detached from reality. recording to a new poll 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 supplied support to the new group. yeah that will happen we have a exchanging operation is especially with bernie sanders possible in the united states where against hillary clinton they missed out on getting the democratic nomination because of clinton history we are also in close contact with the supporters of german war of the moment to movement in the united kingdom between home also with the campaign of france john that's munch on who got almost twenty percent in the last week and you know the action whilst ultimately.
4:28 pm
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 if when you look at polling there's always a majority that was better paid better pension who are not confrontational foreign policy regarding russia and are also against nato expansion or consider through on top of them a political direction and policy of. the us after. we had to present something different from the alternative or germany party in the last two or three years s.b. did the greens or done didn't show a successful strategy for doing that and competent rather the opposite 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 like social questions should be the keystone us . also
4:29 pm
shot up by fluting into. policy has pretty much rendered the minimum wage to what was once a one euro job and nobody brings eighty cents is obviously if you take people in you need to ask them somewhere that there are a lot of people under the stress created by this is osha 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 party it is those people that we will be reaching out to mike with the sake of argument. democrats do seem to be falling out of love with capitalism with recent polls showing they are now more positive about socialism with some saying that the party's out of touch with its traditional base he's kind of more went to see what's driving the new trend whole show that among democratic voters socialism is becoming more popular than capitalism according to the latest poll less than half of democrats have
4:30 pm
a favorable view of the economic system long considered to be the american way meanwhile fifty seven percent of democrats have a positive view of socialism which until recently was a forbidden word in american discourse this is what the leftist intellectual slob boyish easy access about the trend not only some. working class. but the system but also many meters delish of a intellect trust and someone with someone i know but. then why do i have a warmish day american he doesn't function the way people expected to function now this shift in views is manifesting itself with the rise in popularity of figures like veteran senator bernie sanders and progressive candidate for congress alexandria.
