it's. your skill used to shouldn't be diminished you're just a. pill to be cheating if you keep it simple you. survivors of the massacre at a crimea technical college speak to three days of mourning begin for the victims warning you may find the upcoming images the. act. of the city of paris grieves chilling similarities are drawn to the columbine massacre in the u.s.

almost two decades ago. donald trump promises severe consequences over the assassination of saudi journalist jamal khashoggi who the president now believed to be dead thirty claims the saudi government was behind the killing but riad denies the accusations. and twitter releases a vast number of tweets supposedly generated by moscow trolls meddling in u.s. politics even though most of them were written in russian. thanks for joining us this hour this is r.t. international. three days of mourning are underway in crimea after a bombing and mass shooting at a college in the city of catch twenty one people killed dozens more were injured the moment of the shooting was captured on video by. one of the students warning

you might find this footage disturbing. the attacker also detonated a homemade bomb in the college cafeteria after the shooting spree he turned the gun on himself which as for the victim will help throughout first thing curch prayers were for those who lost their lives and for the injured my guess is in the city for us. the woods anguish sorrow grief don't begin to cover what has gripped the city all the pain all the sea is 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 scene ages the first youths in the college behind me jumped out of windows and scaled the fences in an attempt to get away. just.

to do what you're doing if you can do it he teaches it to the species but it. still leaves that have a bit of they don't look inward i don't see which is unit but it could be q. this is. the city is the city that i see so 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 god knows because i live so hush hush as it should be on the. radio. that i gave. the night she was about us if you will come as i was binoy. data.

but im was just in the know it you're right about that it was either going to sit. on the trio system video which gives me what you got the easy chance to see if you don't forgive you. if you do report for you go to people come on movie and they don't vote for. you in anything but. they will but those of us who need you. mind when you put it for you when we need. from here about the scale of this calamity how first year medical students were enlisted to help deal with the wounded but may get a bonus told them showing is also a good that the obama should know better about us slag on a problem we'll call it a of the stalemate you. go to someone and i get sick sick pull up on you can you get to believe me or they'll go again as it does but i'm sure there must be no sick

but in my sin as i believe i see this book way defunct initially bought in but anybody living in detroit is next to the dish on the bill i state again it could have been a slow but a show just. 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 but it all began in the early hours of the morning with a ball. given that it was about. preparing. to talk with six among us to talk about it before i got this film or. how common.

are. they going to proceed because. you. are you a. reasonable. young perhaps even if you know the. clothes that you are. that india. has no need of them but merely because the bother be good. though. but there were good. and many of those these are the imo if you are the boys are you. going to see the good you really believe. that.

meanwhile six injured students are being flown to moscow for further treatment according to the city's mayor they were hit by bomb fragments the gunman who committed suicide was a nineteen year old student at the college we spoke to his ground on the neighbors . what could have to do with just two of them legal status doesn't. it and so the current conflict you. feel you could have for two people who did he was working is just so logical and bush is stuck and so should just you know but he just wants to order him to stay out of the just. simple slimmest incidentally but that he put a commie of nigeria terrorists in on september the so i guess with the particular studies to. move down we have.

all the querulous and they do share many of the illegality can you will soon be instructional. i'm sure you know what you could and should nobody not notice the. museum to zero and move on yet not one again one more this video has been released appearing to show the killer buying a munition it was filmed saturday we went to the weapon store and spoke to the seller. she did we should look into this but all of the dog bites was misquoted to the the city of the store to the box that is a buddhist a little cool people who put it on local news nickel believe in near the probability of the ability for those who would go. look at me i'm game you bro you can actually. hear you but i will pull a new political but when caught on purely. when so it's attack is being compared to

another atrocity carried out almost twenty years ago. president putin spoke about the tragedy at the closing session of the valdai discussion club. which the national recession is that these tragedies the result of globalization it may sound strange but we see that numerous communities have been created on social networks and the internet it all began from known tragic events

in american schools mentally unstable young people have created some fake heroes for themselves 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 story gets heroism and this results in such tragedies. are teasing us dollar for ports now on the other topics putin touched upon at 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 as 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 in the chickens it 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 attacking russia. well russia is 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 in that secret folder on your phone to basically of

course that refers to all these stereo about russia hacking elections and meddling in other countries affairs and glamor putin was asked how he feels about that whether he feel he sees wade by that in any way here's what he had to say it should be used you know there's an old joke the question is how do you relax the answer is i just don't get nervous the thing for tensions in international relations we don't create problems for anyone we'll the ones being accused with the phrase highly likely they say we meddle here we muddle there and no one is ready to show any evidence for me it is just the result of political struggle in the west. by the way of lattimer putin also mentioned r.t.e. 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's 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 the school is going to maintain a good relation unless it is proven that saudi arabia indeed had something to do with the order of the killing basically vladimir putin saying that it is wrong to take down the road that many western countries took when it came to this proposal poisoning case when there was no evidence shown of russia's involvement in it but action ensued anyway. u.s. president threatened severe consequences for saudi arabia if the countries found responsible for the killing of a journalist in istanbul riyadh denies any involvement in the disappearance of jamal khashoggi. treasury secretary stephen minucci has announced that he is

pulling out of an investment forum in saudi arabia it was shed over later this month earlier in the wake secretary state might pump a zero visited turkey and saudi arabia to discuss the case and after the trip it was asked about an alleged recording that turkey claims to have proving the journalist was murdered. 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. as if you. do. you. now 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 with 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

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 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 interrogation and he wanted to a building and never came out of the building what are we talking about in the building was saudi if could show 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. that it will come to that on what believes whatever facts come to light the u.s. will refuse to take any real action against the saudis this sooty government enjoys an unassailable position of influence when it comes to washington and london and other western allies who grow our eye on saudi arabia to buy their weapons that they sell them by the billion dollars worth on a regular basis and washington is weighted itself to the saudis as part of its axis of germany when it comes to formating to 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. twitter has released a vast number of tweets supposedly showing russian meddling in the twenty six thousand u.s. elections jacqueline forgot has a story. 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 so-called troll factory a secretive technology firm that created and distributed both fake news and divisive stories and pose these were accounts that really looked like american citizens well and a bit for transparency twitter has published some nine million tweets from thousands of accounts they believe were run by said trolls and if you like us find the data more than a bit difficult to interpret we're 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 there is no doubt the russians are trying to influence the presidential election russia's blatant interference in the united states twenty sixteen presidential elections the fact is russia meddled in our twenty sixteen elections but speaking of influence the positive conclusion of this is that the trolls were less effective than may have been feared many achieve little or no impact and their operations will be washed away in the final hours of twitter according to the group's analysis

the apparently ineffective russian operation had multiple goals including to prevent hillary clinton from winning the election that's something we've heard time and again and it's true that a good number of the tweets are anti hillary but those post didn't gain much traction whereas trump accounts such as these did the plus side to trump becoming more on the hinge but the people are finally realizing the. maybe having a treasonous madman secure predator white supremacist in the white house maybe isn't such a good thing if you think that drill donald trump is the worst president america ever had he's not worthy to be called a human being according to the report such a liberal accounts engage other users and much higher numbers meaning the trolls were much more successful at getting people to bash trump the man they were meant to be getting to the white house and the trolls were also found to have push anti russian stances they spread some content that was notably anti russian which

highlights a key assessment of dissin from ation if successful in driving a country further apart rather than closer together internally that country would be less able to enact anti russian policy those gift tweeting trolls are clearly so smart they even outsmarted themselves like so much of the output of the internet research agency. it had nothing to do with the election two thirds of them came out after the election some supported some against him some for clinton though some against it and some of the russian language as well so it's a complete mixed bag of course you could say what are they doing it at all whatever they doing it and so you could say a lot of it is to do it with a kidnapping i mean it's not you know with twitter is different but basically like so many of these posts on social media it's all about advertising it's all about raising profile so it's in my view a lot of this is making a mountain out of a molehill in the end the report warns that despite twitter's best effort and the

fact that the troll farms goals went woefully unfulfilled the online death information war will soldier on where. the bearer of the italian city of load is ordered all migrant families to provide documents on their financial status including property they own in the home countries early to comply it could result in the loss of social benefits. that's this we're in the same room that 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 answers for my son what should i say we as foreigners have to produce these documents. one of my classmates said she wants to use his son which with us. anymore they're going to build the very best if they misunderstood it should be forbidden to impede gratian of kids with others it's a pity very town children who've lost the opportunity to interact with other cultures so look for the really similar quick look i completely agree with the missed decision because all those foreigners have from it is in the countries of origin. because of this and that for the mayor's measure is unfair it's just because they might have property abroad doesn't mean they're rich here. to me genie . maracas another issue could easily get the papers through the conscious i could

never the less kids still have to be respected more than a daughter. a very large majority of migrants actually aren't migrants so they do not follow. 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 a system that is really fair has been put in place by italian families over generations so it's not about excluding them but asking them to pay 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. or most by the outgoing u.s.

ambassador to the united nations during a meeting of conservatives have been leaked it to haley claims she was initially offered the post of secretary of state on president trump but turned it down because she didn't feel qualified and she felt much the same about a position at the u.n. i thought the job should go to someone who didn't have the same learning curve i don't draw on the street i don't even know what the. the caylee quote many by surprise when she announced she was quitting is and void to the u.n. would step down in january we heard from jervis max blumenthal it was a closed door meeting where he was speaking. 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 president doesn't know

that there's 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 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. nearly half of u.s. soldiers believe the country is likely to be drawn into a major conflict within the next year according to a new poll forty six percent of service personnel believe such a conflict is somewhat or very likely from five percent last year. members of the armed forces were also asked to the top dangers facing the u.s. at the top of the list was signed for terrorism along with russia and china from a pentagon official michael maloof believes key the actual threats are widely misunderstood. we have a looming in a confrontation growing and so the troops may be right but i think it's probably in the wrong area 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. 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 they were able to successfully to freeze of the electronic components of that aircraft it would be useless and it's a ninety million dollar airplane per copy. a senior official in the german defense ministry has faced a barrage of criticism after paying tribute to the nazi general when rubble served as field marshal during world war two they came to prominence following successes in the north african campaign where even and a reputation for chivalry among british soldiers under forty forty was involved in a plot to assassinate hitler given his achievements public fame hitler wanted him a limited quietly and not publicly executed he was eventually forced by the not

leadership to commit suicide. a member of the left party in germany told us that rommel should never be regarded a hero. he's not a hero because he had some military success in africa that's not the reason his character. was the character of a nazi and then the in the last months he got a distance and i think we should promote that kind of distance today that some people leave the right. and all the right people and the masses too and come to the proctors if discourse. paid to talbot's tweet was condemned by the leading left wing politician petra powell who said romney was a war criminal and even questioned whether turbos accounted been hacked the green

party colleague also lashed out saying rubbles crimes in italy could never be forgotten in an interview taboo defended this week saying the nazi general repeatedly disregarded criminal orders and heroically plotted against. the party members dame again thinks that such tweets and sympathies would not be so popular if left is found a better way to engage with the public on the weekend there were over. two hundred thousand people demonstrating against rasmussen and i think it's a good sign that on the same weekend thousands and thousands also demonstrating christian targets the left lost some people who were earning lower than two thousand or a month who are very poor who do not know what will happen tomorrow and i think we should. have learned again to speak in their language and to think

with their sorrows.
