deeply related to the united states. when the american political reality became stranger than fiction. the relation to normalcy. as people more twenty one people killed in. the following. city grieve similarities are drawn with the columbine massacre. decades ago which

took fifteen lives. and. look at how. to provide information about their finances withholding benefits if they fail to do so and the move has seen children losing. separately from others. we are in the same room but we have to see. the international. three days of mourning are

being observed in crimea off for a student carried out a bloody attack in the city of kut which leaving twenty one people dead and dozens injured. later committed suicide with all the victims now identified the massacre has left dozens desperate over the loss of their loved ones we should warn you you might find some of the upcoming footage disturbing. now let's bring in some live pictures for you right now from the vigil in the to

catch where people have come to mourn the victims it's about three minutes off to one pm there on thursday the same time as moscow time as well we understand a priest has been reading prayers for the victims of the tragedy live pictures right here from kotowicz southern russia. people have been gathering to mourn the victims throughout the night in sevastopol and moscow residents laid flowers and candles as memorials for coach. we did manage to speak to one woman whose niece missed classes on wednesday due to an illness and we also talked with the relatives of survivors of the massacre demand that such as somebody like me go to the little symbol but total. hate they don't deserve it outside of that we don't so we get you know i did this did a couple out of the it's old you know a monkey a. little kid supposed to do that you to. stage a loser welcome to the little one that got

a little money. you know daniel. just gave you the keep some all shirts for school to. put over in the d.v.d. . it will bring it to. congress which is just a school of. truth for the people in the it was sure. i know where the investigation into the well underway now reports from the scene where he spoke to neighbors of the attacker. talking.

to someone. but it's still sinking in so much sorrow yet so much grief over the loss. confusion as to why this happened there's no obvious motive no explanation no cause and above all the many faces here this page is more tragic news overnight the death toll has been revised upwards again now the names of all of those that were killed five of them faculty members start from the college itself behind me fifteen of them students teenagers cut down in their prime

between sixteen nineteen in hospital we have ten people in critical condition fighting for their lives in all more than seventy people were injured forty remain in hospitals around. crimea they've been transported to various. the pentagon their injuries but it all begat in the early hours of the morning with a ball. doesn't. appear. to succumb otherwise to talk about it like the us military for. a.

lot. of. people that there's a bit. of. you. do you want. to blow up a nice young sneakiness you know the who is the who knows the hollies clothes the. bad idea was used to yeah yeah there's all you need to look at but mainly because the bothered going to be even though. the local. guys who. i'm with look at the design of the i know he knew all the boys even the all of. you don't want to see the good generally believe. that.

the bomb itself you can see the damage behind me was so powerful that never mind the windows did not go window frames themselves out this was an incredibly powerful bomb packed with shrapnel would not swerve bolts designed to maximize the number of people hurt or killed in the initial. there's the nation's. explosive device which. nevertheless. is in mourning it is coming to grips with what happened. coming in pouring in from crimea from russia as the moonies for witnesses who were there yesterday. seem to accept what happened friends the teaches that they lost yesterday nevertheless investigators are on. the moment of the shooting was

captured on video by one of the students who was inside the college at the moment of the attack and warning you may find the following scenes. the gunman is believed to be an eighteen year old student of the color he was found dead in the building having shot himself video has a motion showing. a munition it dates back to. similarities are being drawn to another atrocity carried out almost twenty years ago.

and we got reaction from several specialists who say clearly echoes the columbine massacre and that in today's internet age it's far too easy to learn how to make basic but deadly weapons. a shocking event but clearly there is something of a pattern developing and it is very difficult to gnaw what we can respond to that i mean we don't want schools and colleges to become fortresses the places of learning which we were children and young people are exploring their lives developing the lives they shouldn't be fortresses are just you know jails in that sense but also i think we need to look at the culture i mean it's very early to draw any conclusions

but the powers of columbine of obvious as a young man who carried a terrible crime scenes but also ended his own life you know he didn't deserve that and really he needed our help before we got to this stage and i think we need to be looking at that as a society all of us is no longer the murder of an american problem for a long time i think we could kind of pertains we knew or didn't have this problem who it is not just a russian a european problem and i think we all have to take it out on board the fact is that in the days of the internet particularly it's relatively easy to discover the means and ending date acquired the means to make rudimentary weapons such as these basic explosive devices we've seen in other incidents terror lated instance for example where you can kill large numbers of people without any access whatsoever to these kinds of traditionally criminal or terrorist associated weapons for example we've

seen vehicles used knives used as weapons and these have been very very effective in terror attacks and it's no reason of course why they wouldn't be equally effective in the hands of a disaffected eckstein for example and so it's possible certainly to using the internet freely available information to make basic explosive devices. well we are keeping across any further developments following the attack in crimea we will bring you the updates as soon as we get them. all right so other news now here on out international venezuela is dumping the dollar when it comes to official exchange transactions and will use the euro or other convertible currencies instead the move is retaliation for severe american financial sanctions imposed on the country's officials including the president caracas is not alone in moving away from dollar dependence as daniel bushell

explains. no muss the learned of the world's top all reserves and else there's no more buying author ling in greenbacks you know let us be free we will not be anyone's colony again the latest in a now apparently nonstop erasure of hits to the pin yards of the dollar system the impregnable tender since world war two and guess whose currency correctors these ousting it for. after trump threatened anyone dealing with iran brussels drops a bombshell on its old us charm in iran trade e.u. simply ditching the dollar e.u. member state will set up a legal entity to facilitate legitimate financial transactions with iran and this will allow european companies to continue to trade we had done in accordance with european union low and could be open to other partners in the what. russia's back in brussels for them

a pittance already talking dollar trade with major allies adding washington is just shot itself in the foot actually americans get but there are american partners in making a colossal strategic mistake undermining the credibility of the dollar is universal and essentially the only reserve currency undermining trust in it they can sing the branch they're sitting on this is the typical mistake of any empire when people think that nothing will happen they believe that everything is so powerful so strong so stable that there will be no negative consequences but you know they will come sooner or later but the hardest wallop of all may be from america's biggest rival china. beijing shop window now plans an ample dollar free range from old trade in petrol you won the online crypto you won the new silk road colossus and beijing's own swift world banking network even u.s. media admit washington's now waging an. war room one tenth of the world and one in

four people on this planet now live on the government's committed to drown dominance mainstream economists pooper any future without a glorious greenback ensuring any smash will only be more shocking. a quarter past the hour here in moscow the u.s. is refusing openly to put pressure on saudi arabia over its alleged role in the disappearance of a journalist in turkey secretary of state might refusing to be drawn on the existence of a recording supposedly handed over by ankara to washington or jamal khashoggi as feared murder and dismemberment in the saudi consulate in istanbul this does put washington in a rather tricky situation between two allies turkey accusing riyadh off the record of killing the dissidents saudi journalist two weeks ago.

i don't have anything to say about that well we know what they could have discussed they could have gotten to the bottom of whether or not jamal khashoggi was indeed killed tortured and then dismembered as the consul watched as reports seem to indicate however it seems that they focused rather on what seemed to be almost perfect about the u.s. saudi relationship we have lots of important relationships and then to relationships between us saudi companies government relationship things we work on together all across the world the efforts to reduce the risk to the united states of america from the world's largest state sponsor of terror ron those are elements of u.s. national policy that are for our in americans best interests. of the country you don't treat. it as if you. hold on. to. you.

now my pompei as comments referred to saudi arabia as a purchaser of american goods primarily military hardware and he seemed to talk about saudi arabia as an ally against what he sees as the primary source of evil in the region iran now this is not so much different from what we heard from mike pompei i was boss of the u.s. president so i did arabia has been a very important ally of ours in the middle east and we are stopping the rain and trying to stop was stopping over everyone a big step for we took away that ridiculous deal that was made by the previous administration and they are an ally we have a very good allies in the middle east but if you look at saudi arabia they're an ally of tremendous purchaser donald trump's comments come as there is a huge amount of pressure mounting on the administration in response to outrage about the shoji incident president trump as. it is sizing the condemnation of saudi arabia over the case of missing journalist jamal khashoggi residence stunning

statement as three sources tell c.n.n. that a high ranking officer with the saudi intelligence agency oversaw the saudis are now claiming was an interrogation and he wanted to a building a never came out of the building what are we talking about in the building was saudi if he's dead said republican senator marco rubio today the u.s. must respond or it risks its own standing the administration assures us that saudi arabia will get to the bottom of what actually took place eventually we're going to give them the space to complete their investigations of this incident when they issue their report for our judgment about their next step in the decisions they make about accountability connected to this so the world just needs to sit back and have faith in the kingdom of saudi arabia riyadh denies any involvement in germany as a parents former u.s. diplomat jim john trust but he was washington will do anything to keep the saudis

on the side against iran. let's remember that the trumpet ministration for a number of reasons but i think primarily influence from israel and saudi arabia has a vendetta against iran that iran is responsible for everything wrong in the world or iran is the number one sponsor of terrorism iraq is is is a regional threat and of course this is all nonsense but this is what the israelis and the saudis want and that is the primary policy that it unites washington with riyadh and i think they find it want to find some way to preserve that so i think this is a way of emphasizing in american context of that we somehow need the saudis in order to confront this very very evil threat coming from iran but american rapper kanye west and his wife kim kardashian are on the receiving end of well some well ridicule and some abuse as well as for a meeting they staged we'll give you details in

a moment. you know world big partisan movie lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door. and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks.

join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guests of the world of politics small business i'm show business i'll see you then. i could do to join us today the mayor of the italian city of lodhi has ordered all migrant families to provide documents about their financial status including any property they might own in their home countries failure to comply could result in a loss of social benefits including school lunch subsidies for their children and transportation.

system here in the same room but we have to say in the back corner. if there are people who have money how is this or. in their home countries why should we give them services for free while italians before everything enough the gravy train is finished this is not racism it's justice and good sense. but you notice what i don't have my son what should i say we as foreigners have to produce these documents. one of my classmates said she wants to send which with us. the very best if misunderstood it should be forbidden to impede integration of kids with others it's

a pity for the town children who've lost the opportunity to interact with other cultures so little really similar but look i completely agree with the missed decision because all those foreigners have from what is in the countries of origin . to get to this in the school the meirs measure is unfair it's just because they might have property abroad doesn't mean they're rich here. moroccans another can easily get the papers through the conscious nevertheless kids still have to be respected more than a. very large majority of migrants actually are migrants so they do not qualify for refugee status and in that case you know most of these children as a result of that come from families who have taken

a risk and who have put their families at risk and their children at risk just to take advantage of the system that is really there has been put in place by italian families over generations so it's not about excluding them. but asking them to to follow the same laws that apply to italian families it's nothing else than that so if anything it's about equality not discrimination. american rapper kanye west and his wife kim kardashian are under fire for meeting with the president of uganda and the meeting took place in the african nation on monday and critics have slammed being counted as immoral most of you and he is regarded as a dictator by many in the west the ugandan president has been in power for thirty two years when he assumed power he was hailed as a freedom fighter and a liberator however the opposition accuses him of cracking down on the media and of suppressing alternative political forces in the country

a lottie managed to catch up with the president. then this is. a good his foot into an issue. support for russia. in the. form of the peace that i've been shown trees i'm. over. i'm not good. what you want is it we knew we. were. in there what human is is the will put us it's. on to dinner before we go to school put it with the countries which want freedom and equality among the trees.

they. get a big roll. well the usual minerals and middle are now this is. the can play of an important role. in be sure of what is. russia into what is going to come via. russia buying for a muffin. a little can supply of a little things to go to russia for both by the market. oh it's not a huge amount of normal you but. it's russia. with us the program for this hour here on r.t. international by many more headlines for you with my colleague andrew fama at the top of the hour hope you can join us.

if it was government official of president of the f.c.c. the system i swear to god i'm too liberal the system designed for people like me. as long as there's. different people for different reasons but also job we also hold. most people in philadelphia are only a ballot two paychecks away from homelessness. what politicians do sometimes. they put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or some want to be that's.

actually going to be for us this is like the before three in the morning and people that i'm interested always in the water out. west sydney. prosecution will need to become almost. a full zone because when you push. this thread you'll find. somebody to see doing yani i mean political pressure. i need him on cold cold to know through security jennifer knows when to pull your bundled up business models he was by american corporations jadhav wasing called police sold on could mental disease has a new album use the controls on the scene and the solution. is up in association with the potato. noodle can he salsa on those it is just

really really came to an investigative documentary. ghost war on oxy. to. just. a combination of a nine and three there's also the worst possible handle just

a little bit so i'm often used for the a closer. look at. what she will do anything done nothing on this. no muss thought and i know given there she was the most. in there the other. day she will take a you at the state of up so you don't mind critique i said. i'm just going to. skip the warm up city to. review my human idea though i'm not on screen at the mo. if you can would you like it on their ski took us who are about ninety skate on their must get it up on that one to go to look at the. did win there.
