between the two countries that have gone all over the last couple of years they have not gone at all just yet at times it looked like we're making progress it other times it looked like nothing's changed in the relationship and its low ebb. french authorities have launched an investigation against a black rapper for inciting violence and racial hatred. that's after he posted a video showing a white man being tortured shot and hanged from a tree and called for white babies to be killed you tube has suspended the clip called hang the wipes. the rapper myself nick conrad says it's nothing but a work of fiction he also claimed he was simply turning the tables on the suffering black people have endured for years but outrage at the video reached all the way to the top the french interior minister strongly condemned the rapper he also called for further legal action and he was backed by politicians from all the major

parties we put the issue of whether there need to be limits to artistic expression for debate. all violence in this way is to p. deplored of course but let's put it in perspective there are literally hundreds of thousands if not millions of hits on you tube videos from neo nazi hard right rock bands so i'm all for the rule of law replying but it will seem to be massively disproportionate when there is no general trend in the french black community or elsewhere for this sort of thing and the one time here example people have descended on in france you'll be exaggerating now you have to agree in any way but undoubtedly these i am i exaggerate i mean there is a problem there is a problem. in general i am drill music i am a sinner that's one hundred black kids at the moment lee along in the more true your have been lying in

a mortuary we should condemn all violence like this all violent lyrics like this this kid is only at our say forty downloads we're going to be very careful we don't blow this out of proportion but he i've read the lyrics he's talking about stabbing caves in a nursery white kids and hanging their parents i'm sorry laughs out of order in my book just well let's see what the guy said the guy said i wanted to reverse polarity and show what it's like for black people for hundreds of years to be victims to these things sounds credible to me whether he meant it or not who knows only he can tell but i do know there seems to be a big disproportionate difference with the way he's been treated to the way that the rest of the offenders on you tube are being treated one would never try not to come damage slavery would not you know no one's trying to make an excuse for that if he has used a seed and change the priority of it good however but by the same token condemn

both. meanwhile sexual misconduct allegations have reportedly cost a prominent think of his job in say as he had to resign as i was to the new york review of books after writing a story on a man who was acquitted of sexual assault he believes given the man's perspective was a costly decision. i feel forced to resign in fact it is a capitulation to social media and university presses i have absolutely no doubt that the me too movement is a necessary corrective on male behavior but like all well intentioned and good things they can be undesirable consequences. at wrong a story his kellett more pay. the new york review of books is a staple of american intellectual culture was actually hailed as the premier literary intellectual magazine of the english language by esquire and lauded by the new york times it has prided itself in posing questions in americans debates about

life and culture since the one nine hundred sixty s. but in the era of me to that attempted debate has fallen flat in bruma never himself accused of sexual misconduct decides to give voice to someone who has been accused and he gets fired. my interest in running this piece as i said is the point of view of somebody who has been pilloried in public opinion and what somebody like that feels about it it was not run as a piece to exonerate him or to somehow miss ingate the nature of his behavior the article that got broom of fired was written by asian ghomeshi is a canadian radio host whose career was destroyed when he was accused of sexual assault back in two thousand and sixteen now all the charges against him in twenty sixteen were dismissed in court due to lack of evidence however since then twenty different women have come forward and accused him now those accusations have not yet gone to court but jian ghomeshi never got his job back there are

a lot of guys more hated than me now but i was the guy everyone hated first during the first two weeks i was suicidal i contemplated the methods by which i could kill myself i was terrified of being weak and terrified of falling asleep after the article was published there was a firestorm both in the media and on the internet pretty soon bruno was no longer the editor now the new york review of books even one as far as to publish an apology for what they thought was a poor editorial decision while mr gomes has an absolute free speech right to express his opinions were acknowledged in the presentation and editing of his story over one. one hundred writers and contributors to the new york review were shocked about why their colleague had lost his job we find it very troubling that the public reaction to a single to go republican some of us may have found the souls who should have been the occasion a few improvements forced resignation now the writer of the article was indeed

accused of sexual harassment but the editor in bloom a wasn't he simply made the decision to publish the article now there's no question that need to is giving victims a voice that is much needed but getting people fired for giving a voice to people whose guilt has not yet been proven is that what me too was supposed to bring about. our t. new york criminal defense attorney and many companions says the media is there to give more voices on the subject not fewer there is a backlash effect occurring within journalism these days which essentially it's the professional death sentence upon a mistake like that and the duty of the media the duty of this of this paper was to provide information it's to give an outlet to all of those voices in general journalists and editors i believe have a heightened sense of duty to not only act as stewards of the me to movement but

that includes publishing and giving weight and light to all voices and all opinions along the spectrum so i do believe it's incumbent upon those participating in that industry to offer more voices to be heard rather than less to give more of an opportunity to be heard rather than editing in that need to movement and importantly there is a big sense of public opinion occurring where an allegation means a conviction. and the mosque has been opened and how can a building that used to be a protestant church during the renovation took five years a lot's been said about multiculturalism and integration but some no calls have mixed feelings about it.

mr sharp it's a beating my three children received a confirmation in this church and now it is a mosque but what can you do. your kids often want to charge against removed for a mosque although they really made it beautiful of course it is a different culture i'm sure but there are also so many parallels and they think we have to be reasonable and stand together. when i just moved to boston i had a strange feeling a little bit tried one on when the boss for example and i see a crowd of people coming from the mosque it is a frightening feeling because you feel it is strange you shall see.

the mosque is a place of the integration and learning. and i don't think you can say that i joined many of the christian automatically nowadays who. will see to. that place say they have foiled a major terror attack after arresting a gang of bench trying to acquire assault rifles suicide vests and bomb making equipment to bensky takes up the story this is been a long standing investigation after table for eight and eventually the police have now swooped in on this group which they say were planning to carry out a terror attack at a high level of vent to maximize the number of victims and casualties that the. in the netherlands a smalling has been outlining some of the material this group were apparently trying to obtain the suspects were in search of a forty seven grenades explosive vests and room materials for several car bombs

well what do we know about the ringleader the so-called ringleader of this group what we understand he's a thirty four year old man who is of iraqi origins we also understand from the police that he was convicted last year in two thousand and seventeen of attempting to travel to syria where he wanted to join i saw the terror group as for the rest of the group seven members in total we had some from police that their age twenty one to thirty four three of the group including that ringleader had all been convicted of trying to travel to syria where they wanted to join that terror group i saw now we understand that they were attempting to not only put hand guns and rifles they were also looking to obtain woman which could then be used to create a bomb and we understand from the authorities in the netherlands that they were quite a way along in their attempts to create this terrorist attack this is not the only

time in september that terror has been on the front pages of the netherlands earlier this month the jihadist was shot dead in. after stopping its threat level in the netherlands remains it out of a possible maximum of five meaning that there is a real concern that there is a chance of a terror attack in the country. the kremlin has reacted to the british media frenzy reports that u.k. security services have identified a third suspect in the script poisoning case spokes person dmitri peskov we need facts not press speculation or an official investigations when it comes to reports of the latest developments rumors. theories on top of speculation it doesn't seem to end the kremlin has dismissed these rumors about the suspects their relationship with moscow was just that rumors and hasn't seen any case files.

the whole discussion is built around. the result some kind of investigations by some kind of. nobody can know which pieces of. which are true various investigations that are underway by journalists. this raises questions concerning the results of the investigations we do not know how. they are based and so on its hold hold a discussion with the media we would like to do that we don't know if any of the facts are true if we can make any official statements about who looks like who lived and so. they have to have the initial material. joint investigation. on the source. we jointly cooperate so that's why we don't want to speculate the latest but

a third russian agent has been identified suspected of carrying out reconnaissance of the script. the other theory that surfaced in the rounds in the media this week about one of the two original suspects but sure of bending cat which calls itself an investigative outfit and is widely seen as the russian says it has discovered his true identity and authority. apparently a decorated serviceman what they did is they truly through decades and decades of russian military academy graduation photos until they found a man with a resemblance to share of then use the database on the internet to find his name that's all the poor. that they offered dedicating the rest of their article to speculation about his career which is all odd when others revealed links between syrian jihad ists and pro rebel white helmet rescuers telling cat insisted that it

merely likeness on photographs was insufficient proof but there you go we it team managed to reach the head of the military academy referred to by betting cat where it should be used to study and they have serious questions about telling cats narrative one hundred percent from two thousand and one back then i was the commander of the squadron there is very little information a name for his or a graduate yes it's rubbish is that enough a survey who would graduate such an academy would be sent on a task like this or graduates or field officers and it's not even special services who would be trained to perform tasks like this even so it's rubbish that a g.r.u. officer would be sent to police and so on they were not hours i think this story was planted seventeen years went by the phrase from the photo is not remarkable they were between twenty and twenty one years old when they graduated we have changed from that time and there we go the latest twist in the script our fair rule

a coaster ride of rumors and speculation inconsistent seas and revelations and judging by what we've seen so far one shouldn't expect this ride to end anytime soon. he's laid to rest in germany on his first state visit as president and protesters have already showed up on the streets of berlin at a news conference where the chancellor merkel at one called for closer economic ties. we find it very important that we're going to break with germany in the economic field according to the win win principle we are thankful for german support our trade relationship is getting better again. we want to win win situation with germany in the present and the future. state visit with the full military honors for president here in germany and it was all very friendly at the press conference as he stood alongside chancellor angela merkel but scratch just

a little bit below the surface and it was clear that there are still major issues between berlin and i'm korea president only one from his side he was all very keen always very keen to bring the talk back to economic cooperation between turkey and germany one of the reasons for that is because when it comes to economic cooperation well that's one area they. can unite against one person in particular. well the press conference it was announced that there will be an upcoming a meeting on syria and conspicuous by their absence from that list of invitees was donald trump in the united states the meeting will comprise the leaders of russia of turkey of germany and of fronts but this meeting between president won and

chancellor merkel well it's a miracle it's happened at all on the scale in which it's happened just not so long ago in cast our minds back in there was some real top shelf insults being hurled between the two nations i can see turkey being admitted to the european union i have never been able to see it happening on your money you have no relation whatsoever to democracies and you should know that your current actions are no different to those in the nazi period but the president you jeopardizing everything that you've built together with others and your unspeakable nazi comparisons do not cut the ties to those who want apartments. i'm calling on all my countrymen in germany on the christian democrats the green party are all enemies of turkey to support those political parties who are not enemies of turkey as well the tensions between anchor and berlin could be seen in the room the press conference took place

in one of the accredited journalists stood up during the press questions revealing a t. shirt that said freedom for journalists on it he was then removed from the press by security services leaving mr wanted mrs merkel to stand on looking rather or quit while it was done but there are clear issues and many of them relate back to the twenty sixteen attempted coup in turkey the turkish site they want those they claim took part in the coup or helped organize the attempted coup who are currently here in germany seeking asylum the german side they say this five people in jail in turkey over the queue who are german citizens and they want them released president wants. and others in the international community to condemn the golan movement who he says were behind the attempted coup however chancellor merkel stood right alongside president said he shouldn't be holding his breath for that to be declared

any time soon from germany from another to ask anything u.n. movement we take you very seriously but we need more information to fix the status for this organization we do sorry some persons on the request of turkey but on the other hand there is a lack of information whether all of them are in this country that this state visit was all about bridge building some of that has been done but it's clear that there's still well they still weren't from the angry exchanges between the two countries that have gone all over the last couple of years they have not gone at all just yet at times it looked like we were making progress at other times it looked like nothing's changed in the relationship and its low ebb. have launched and. best occasion against a black rapper for inciting violence and racial hatred that's after he posted a video showing a white man being tortured shot and hanged from a tree and called for white babies to be killed you tube has suspended the clip

called hang the whites. the wrapping himself an economist says it's nothing but a work of fiction he also claimed he was simply turning the tables on the suffering black people have endured for years but outrage at the video released all the way to the top the french interior minister strongly condemned the rapper he also called for further legal action and he was backed by politicians from all the major parties we put the issue of whether they need to be limits to artistic expression up for debate. all violence in this way is to pretty deep lord of course but let's put it in perspective there are literally hundreds of thousands if not millions of hits on you tube videos from nero nazi hard right rock bands so i'm all for the rule of law replying but it will seem to be massively disproportionate when there is no general trend in the french black community or elsewhere for this sort

of thing and the one time here example people have descended on in france you'll be exaggerating no you are not arguing anyway but undoubtedly these are marmite exaggerated i mean there is a problem there is a problem. in general and drill music irons in the last one hundred black kids at the moment lee along in the more true your have been lying in a mortuary we should conduct violence like this all violent lyrics like this this kid is only about thirty forty downloads we're going to be very careful we don't blow this out of proportion but he i've read the lyrics he's talking about stabbing caves in a nursery why kids are hanging their parents i'm sorry last out of order. in my book just well let's see what the guy said the guy said i wanted to reverse polarity and show what it's like for black people for hundreds of years to be victims to these things sounds credible to me whether he meant it or not who knows

only he can tell but i do know there seems to be a big dish proportionate difference with the way he's been treated to the way that the rest of the offenders on you tube are being treated one would never try not to condemn slavery would not you know no one's trying to make an excuse for that if he has used they see then change the priority of it good however but by the same token condemned both. sexual misconduct allegations have reportedly cost a prominent think of his job in says he had to resign as editor of the new york review of books after reading a story on a man who was acquitted of sexual assault he believes giving the man's perspective was a costly decision. i feel forced to resign in fact it is a capitulation to social media and university prices i have absolutely no doubt that the me too movement is a necessary corrective on male behavior but like all well intentioned and good things they can be undesirable consequences. and with more on the story his kind of

ghomeshi is a canadian radio host whose career was destroyed when he was accused of sexual assault back in two thousand and sixteen now all the charges against him and twenty sixteen were dismissed in court due to lack of evidence however since then twenty different women have come forward and accused him now those accusations have not yet gone to court but jian ghomeshi never got his job back there are a lot of guys more hated than me now but i was the guy everyone hated first during the first two weeks i was suicidal i contemplated the methods by which i could kill myself i was terrified of being weak and terrified of falling asleep after the article was published there was a firestorm both in the media and on the internet pretty soon the room oh it was no longer the editor now the new york review of books even one as far as to publish an apology for what they thought was a poor editorial decision while mr gomez has an absolute free speech right to

express his opinions were acknowledged healthy who isn't. the presentation and editing of his story over one hundred writers and contributors to the new york review were shocked about why their colleague had lost his job we find it very troubling that the public reaction to a single to cope republican some of us may have phoned the souls who should have been the occasion a few improvements forced resignation now the writer of the article was indeed accused of sexual harassment but the editor in bruno wasn't he simply made the decision to publish the article now there's no question that need to is giving victims a voice that is much needed but getting people fired for giving a voice to people whose guilt has not yet been proven is that what me too was supposed to bring about mop and r t new york. the seventeenth general assembly comes to an end all correspondent is all across the event in new york and he's managed to catch up with the russian foreign

ministry spokeswoman maria let's cross live to them right now. there you go you can see you've been across this for days. to get a hold of my career as a forest i'm going to hand over to you and i'm sure you'll tell us what's been going on. there are hello there well of first of all i just want to tell you that the senior russian diplomats will be leaving new york in just a few hours but before this is happening as you were just saying we have a chance to talk to the russian foreign ministry spokeswoman marie as a hard about everything that's been going on this week at the u.n. general assembly maria thank you so much for sharing your time with us as this is our last day here in new york i mean to this general assembly there were lots of meetings of minister of foreign affairs of russia mr logoff he took part in

a general assembly meeting so he had a statement right now and he took part in security council meetings. lots of bilateral meetings and negotiations this was a rather tough and i think probably fifteen or twenty minutes where he or the press conference of the minister and he will cover all the issues which is so. important and really lots of people one to have. answers about can i get some of your insight about what's going on in the diplomatic community please because the u.s. ambassador nikki haley went as far as saying that her european colleagues to say federico margaret the only reason why she's supporting the around nuclear deal is her ego are these kind of personal attacks common in the diplomatic community i can fully agree that all those statements have some you know something. i see. that all

diplomats they should fold their profession diplomacy and use diplomatic instruments and their statements should be much more realistic and diplomatic on the other side. we have diplomacy and this is a real instrument this is a real mechanism of resolving problems so diplomats won't be too tough to make things worse they should make things better. the fact that right now there was definitely proof that there's an escalating diplomatic route between the u.s. and europe. was going on and he just good to see him here so the fact that we definitely now have proof that there was a an escalating diplomatic route between washington and europe over the iran nuclear deal does it mean that at least for now to iran won this battle against washington i think that the q. word of these journalists sampling if you will take

a serious look on the western countries statements is iran this is the evil wolf to now a days i want to stress one more time according to the west. this is strange because about couple of years ago we had this deal this agreement actually as mr trump call it a deal on the iranian nuclear problem we truly give us. a direction to move on not only in resolving this particular issue but also how we can overcome other problems now. the united states is trying to break in and other countries all the way i was trying to keep it and russia and china truong only four days deal and this is. to my mind is a good example of how. more in the world than modern countries can overcome

problems this is a very good example but. unfortunately as some countries are is shaping this perception of around being a world evil which is absolutely not true and wrong it's a wrong thing to do at the same time. you can't recall the many years for many years most of korea was in medieval. this country and. the leaders of this country and the country itself and the people of this country it was mentioned as the world's hugest problem and in the evil was the world which was used to describe the country and now yeah and now i think you heard mr trump thing several times career so what happened to the city. not.
