dollar in its official exchange transactions in retaliation to u.s. sanctions we look at however more countries are also trying to lessen their dependence on the currency. releases a vast number of tweets supposedly generated by trolls meddling in u.s. politics even though they were posted mostly in russia. plus the marital and city orders families to provide information about their finances withholding benefits if they fail to do so the move has seen children losing their subsidized school dinners forcing them to eat separate from others. we are in the same room but we have to see to that one.

good evening to you this is r.t. international. three days of mourning are underway in crimea after a student carried out a bloody attack in the city of catch twenty one people were killed dozens more injured the moment of the shooting was captured on video by one of the students who was in the college at the time on a warning you might find this footage disturbing. also detonated a homemade bomb in the college canteen after his shooting spree he turned the gun on himself the impact of the assault was devastating as you can see in this footage . and here are pictures from the vigil in cats where people have been mourning the victims the priest has been reading prayers for those who died on the smug as the it is in the city for us with the latest on the tragedy. the words anguish sorrow

grief don't begin to cover what has gripped the city all the pain all the tears here the chief question as it was in the beginning is why why when the first bomb exploded when the first shot sounded and when the first teenagers the first youths in the college behind me jumped out of windows and scaled the fences in an attempt to get away. to shouldn't be to shoot is the border did. fail us to do with shooting if you could really teaches it it's a body of the species but i washed up on the ballot and we were solution was to leave that over to go down looking but i don't see which is unit but it could be q . this is. really significant is the six figure i suppose you can see. the problem with so much testimony so many witness accounts is that it gets more and more difficult

emotionally draining to listen to them hear friends describe how they witnessed their classmates died this is a good little lump of visual. knows her choices should be on the. real life you know. that they gave. it is about us if you will communicate just as i was binoy a. teacher. but him was just in the know it you're right about that it was which i'm going to sit. on the trio system video which gives me what you got the isa chests sifts to him but he bit me on the open he did he report for you go to get it go for one movie in them they don't go to for you you can anything but. you will but those of us who need you and put the point where you put it before you go on and we need a strong here about the scale of this calamity how first year medical students

were enlisted to help deal with the wounded but may get overboard it's told them each one is i'm not quick with a bit of a bomb i should know but if she does so i've got a problem we'll call it ugly studio and idea. but it goes at the moment and i guess we've saved six pull up on you can you get it i believe. when i've been sick but you mustn't. do trunk initially bought a new. nick to show the data going to get that it was the low volatility. what is clear is that no one had any sort of hint that this was coming nobody put the suspected shooter into the maniac category while everybody asked the question why.

the discipline of. the police. to deal with cyclone that is to stop it but it's a lot but there's still a. lot. of. people that there's been a bit. bigger. than i you. know reason of a mood to give you up and it gives you know the. clothes that it's your give you probably thought it was you just did yeah yeah because ali did you leave was the bothered. by the logo.

i mean of what these lovely i know you all the boys you thought. want to see the good you really believe. me while six people injured in the a soul to be no lifted to moscow for the treatment put it to moscow's mad the victims have traumatic injuries due to blast exposure three of the victims are on ventilators. the gunman was identified as an eighteen year old student of the college he committed suicide after carrying out the atrocity earlier we spoke to

his grandmother and neighbors. what could have to do with the story going to start a scuffle. with. credit for two people who he was were just just so much going bush's stock and just you know but he just wanted. to stay out of the just. incidentally but that he put them in my good sack of the so i guess with the particular style used to. move. we have more. national merit you. know nobody not us not more. money i am not winning one more. videos immersion reportedly showing the attacker buying

ammunition was taken saturday he went we went to the weapons store and spoke to the seller. should be we should look into this but don't know if the dog bites was mccorkle to cover the city still doing drugs is a buddhist a little. in. the proverbial. misleader with realtors we will. look at me i'm game you bro you can actually. hear you but i will put a new political book on computer only be sure. wednesday's attack is being compared to another atrocity carried out almost twenty years ago.

president putin has spoken about the tragedy at the closing session of the valdai discussion club research in motion is a shift from yesterday's tragedies the result of globalization which may sound strange will we see you most communities have been created on social networks and on internet it all began from known tragic events in american schools to mentally unstable young people have created some fake heroes for themselves so it means that all of us not only in russia all over the world are not reacting in the right way to changing conditions it means that we are not creating useful needed and interesting content for children and they grab this solar eclipse heroisms and this

results in such tragedies. reports now on the other topics putin touched upon during that session. conversation covered all sorts of international topics the obvious one is syria the russian president has said that he's happy with what russia cheve did in that country saying that the primary goal of course was to stop the terror threat way before it reaches the home soil he also thanked turkey for helping russia broker peace to help avoid anything any any bloodshed in the syrian province of idlib the last stronghold that anti assad forces have in the country and well in fact just a couple of months ago politicians and journalists they were screaming bloody murder really warning that russia is about to decimate the place to carry out a bloodbath they're killing civilians and with all the scaremongering russia release portrayed now is the biggest and baddest wolf. ever could be for example

like with all the meddling and everything and of course the biggest concern here is was russia's nuclear potential so for all those who portrayed russia as an aggressive lattimer putin had a response from the sheik on syria says there is no preemptive strike in a nuclear strike strategy only a counter strike we already we will use nuclear weapons only when we are sure that the aggressor is attack but it's well russia's big and scary not only because of its weapons it will also hack your computers brainwash your nation and probably steal those pictures you have and that secret folder on your phone to basically of course that refers to all these stereo about russia hacking election is meddling in other country's affairs and i was asked how do feels about that when he feels he's waived by that in any way here's what he had to say you should just you know there's an old joke the question is how do you relax the answer is just don't you

get nervous the thing for tensions in international relations we don't create problems for anyone we'll the ones being. cues with the phrase highly likely they say we meddle here we move there and no one is ready to show any evidence for me it is just the result of political struggle in the us. by the way of lattimer putin also mentioned in this context will probably because it is viewed as russia's main meddling tools so to speak he said that he'd love to meet the newest channel in the r.t. family that being r.t. france given his if he's invited of course now also gave his opinion on the situation around the opposition saudi journalist jamal khashoggi he disappeared a couple of weeks ago and is believed to be murdered on the orders of saudi arabia state level of a putin said that russia is not going to do anything about its relations or with the kingdom in fact he said that school is going to maintain a good relation unless it is true and that saudi arabia in the g.d.

had something to do with all of the killing basically vladimir putin saying that it is wrong to take down the road that many western countries when it came through this part poisoning case when there was no evidence shown of russia's involvement in it but action ensued anyway. the u.s. is refusing to publicly put pressure on saudi arabia over its alleged role in the disappearance of a journalist in turkey sect of state might pompei or wouldn't be drawn on the existence of a recording supposedly handed over by ankara to the us of jamal khashoggi suspected murder and dismemberment in the saudi consulate in istanbul puts washington in a tricky situation between two allies turkey privately accusing riyadh of killing the dissident saudi reporter 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 council watched as reports. seemed 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 two 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 see the. old days. we used to. take you now my palm pales 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 and now i have other 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 case shoji president trump is criticizing 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 interrogator. he want into a building a never came out of the building what are we talking about in the building was saudi if because shogi is 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 will form our judgment about their next step and the decisions they make about accountability connected so the world just needs to sit back and have faith in the kingdom of saudi arabia. to the saudi government's tonight any involvement and that's killing the latest development the u.s. treasury secretary tweeted that he now won't attend an investment conference in saudi arabia shadowed for later this month political commentators don't want told us the way washington deals with the incident is part of

a wider geopolitical game. this sodhi government enjoys an unassailable position of influence when it comes to washington and london and other western allies should go our way and so duty be achieved by their weapons that they sell them by a billion dollars worth on a regular basis in washington is weighted itself to the saudis as part of its axis of germany when it comes to for maintaining germany in the middle east and it has nothing to do with truth and justice is everything to do with geopolitics and the unfortunate events are to please their souls but it a few months ago have been used as a pretext to carry out further attacks on russia which has been designated the enemy of the moment in western capitals so this is less to do with truth than justice and everything to do with geopolitics and the drive for a germany which drives the foreign policy of western capitals. the

mayor of the italian city of la d. has ordered all migrant families to provide documents on their financial status including property they own in their home countries value to comply could result in the loss of social benefits including transportation and school lunch subsidies for children. yes this we are in the same room but we have to say in the back corner. if there are people who have money houses or land 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.

lets you notice what i don't have my son what should i say we as foreigners have to produce these documents. yet one of my classmates said she wants things he said which with us. good morning to build the very best if they misunderstood it should be forbidden to impede aincha gratian of kids with others it's a pity for the town children who've lost the opportunity to interact with other cultures so little that it would be similar but ok i completely agree with the missed decision because all those foreigners have from what is in the countries of origin. because of this and that. the mayor is measure is unfair it's just because they might have property abroad doesn't mean they're rich here. to me girish maracas another issue could easily get the papers to the consul's i can see nevertheless kids still have to be respected more than

a daughter. very large majority of migrants actually are migrants so they do not. all five 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 tie in families it's nothing else than that so if anything it's about equality not discrimination. remarks by the outgoing u.s. ambassador to the united nations during

a secret meeting of conservatives have been leaked nikki haley claimed that she was initially offered the post of secretary of state by president but turned down the she didn't feel qualified much the same about her position at the un i thought the job should go to someone who didn't have the same learning curve i don't draw on this i don't even know what the un does. cayley caught many by surprise when she announced she was quitting as envoy to the un and will step down in january my experimental author and senior editor of the real news was also out secret event and gave us his view on haley's remarks. she revealed that her learning curve was too steep to be secretary of state something we all knew because she had just been governor of south carolina before and had a foreign policy experience limited to having lunch at the international house of pancakes maybe she was playing to the crowd but i think you know in

a setting like that where she thinks that there is no media present doesn't know that there is a journalist there i think her comments should be taken very seriously and received as her most candid some of her most candid remarks today. donald trump obviously was not basing his decision to ask nikki haley to be u.n. ambassador on her experience but more on her profile he wanted to diversify his cabinet have an up and coming female republican who was a minority she's of indian descent probably people within the pro israel lobby who are pushing trump's transition team to appoint her so that they could make sure that the u.s. would represent israel's interests at the u.n. and that's exactly what happened. nikki haley during the meeting with the council for national policy boasted of how tough the trumpet ministration was on russia she boasted that the trumpet ministration had expelled over one

hundred diplomats that the trumpet ministration had imposed harsh sanctions that it wrecked russia's economy and she boasted of arms sales to the ukrainian military and she said the obama administration can't even hold a candle to us on russia and this earned her lots of applause. nearly half of u.s. troops now fear being drawn into a quote major conflict massively up from only five percent of service members just a year ago forty nine percent of the military feared being drawn into a large scale war within the next year that says president trump has repeatedly threatened military action against foreign nations including iran's. troops who are also asked to rank threats with cyber terrorism coming up top russia and china are the biggest national worries. let's go live now to security policy analysts

in the office of the u.s. defense secretary to us michael maloof good to have your michael we've heard some of the numbers that what do you think is driving what appears to be an incredible hike in fear of war among u.s. soldiers. well since that survey was taken last year there has been much more international activity troops are abroad the pentagon is just building back up tremendously. while many of the troops feel we in that survey that. the build up will inevitably lead to war i guess that's a self fulfilling prophecy the administration's view is that it's it's peace through strength to build up to the point where there will not be a war now there they're really there in that survey they basically singled out primarily russia china but i think that that's not going to be as the where's the major concerns less so this year on north korea probably about fifty percent on

iran but i don't think it's going to be either china or russia that they should be concerned about it should be about doing something against iran and i think this latest case with. with. the saudis been put over a b. and b. and basically held to account. troubling because. saudi arabia has been the linchpin of the of the trump administration's middle east policy and what i'm concerned about is that in order to deflect attention away from saudi arabia because of not only the hundreds of billions of dollars involved but also their strategic value that could precipitate something along with israel against iran and i think and especially after november the fourth so i think when when the. when

the greater sanctions on all iranian oil will take place so it's at that point we may see more of a confrontation end and the iranians have already said if their oil is cut off. for export to the. to the world they will shut down the straits of hormuz so we have a looming a confrontation growing and so the troops may be right but i think it's probably in the wrong area but they have every reason to be concerned because this this is been a very volatile administration since it came in in terms of foreign policy and the more likely to see more and more volatility in the months to come do you agree with the u.s. to see the cyber terrorism is the biggest threat. it can be because they rely so much on technology in the field and it's quite conceivable that. many many of their weapons systems and depending upon the components could be

hacked could be sabotaged certainly espionage that could create a critic or most of our. u.s. senate study of about a year or so ago pointed out that most major u.s. weapon systems are chinese. electronic components to them and there was concern increasing concern that at least espionage should not sabotage could occur within those weapons systems of cyber terrorism as such even against troops in the field is a very realistic concern especially when you consider the extent to which the u.s. military today relies on technology to look at the f. thirty five i mean if you have an e.m.p. went off and and they and they were able to successfully to freeze all electronic components in that aircraft it would be useless and it's a ninety million dollar airplane per copy. michael appreciate your analysis is always speaking to michael maloof former senior security policy analyst in the

office of the u.s. defense secretary. thank you. twitter is released a vast number of tweets supposedly generated by moscow trolls meddling in u.s. politics even though the so-called trolls posted mostly in russian and most of the messages in english attack donald trump not the alleged target hillary clinton or the second bigger breaks down some strange and consistencies in the mainstream narrative. remember those big bad russian trolls you've heard about for what feels like years now who are alleged to have up and that the us presidential election the st petersburg based internet research agency otherwise known as ira a secretive technology firm that created and distributed both fake news and divisive stories and posts the internet research agency or the troll factory did these were accounts that really looked like american citizens u.s. investigators believe it was directed from the so-called troll factory in st

petersburg russia well in a bid for transparency twitter has published some nine million tweets from thousands of accounts they believe were run by stud trolls and if you like us find the data more than a bit difficult to interpret were not conclusions have already been drawn by the digital forensic research lab twitter gave the group early access to the database and they put out a four part report where they outlined the major takeaways and some may surprise you for example the russian internet research agency's main target was apparently in fact russian speakers a chart breaking down what language tweets were written and shows that for years those in russian vastly outweighed those an english rather interesting given how influential the fake accounts activity was meant to be among american voters intelligence sources tell him b.c. news there is no doubt the russians are trying to influence the presidential election russia's blatant interference in the united states twenty sixteen presidential election.
