but. it was here on the thirteenth of october that but i just called the suspected shooter began to turn his plan for mass murder into reality she said we should really do this to the community the community game you've probably been my choice. but i hope and you play to put on colombian navy ship with one hundred and fifty shotgun shells were only for the second part of his atrocity. four days later he waited until his mother left this house dressed in black and carrying a bag of ammo. left for college on the other side of town. sed he detonated an improvised explosive device. to put up with second on us i'm

still flipping through the bomb field as it was with lethal shrapnel was set and treated in the cafeteria on the full us through exactly at lunchtime when it would be packed with faculty and students. these was no crime of passion this was planned with cold calculation given the efforts needed to learn how to and to actually build a bomb with a tie among would detonate the aim was clear to kill and maim as many as possible as quickly as possible in the ensuing chaos. as panic and confusion took hold the gunman began his killing spree he started on the second floor making his way downstairs to the devastated cafeteria. feeling anyone he met

stuff with students. like you. more shots more victims. critique you. little do tend to kill but there most of them teenagers they tried to run to hide they did desperate things. as i knew. the mushy i didn't know you. and i get his rampage last the just fifteen minutes before he killed himself in the library on the second floor fifteen minutes but his victims are in the hundreds every child left dead a family was torn apart for every teacher killed generations of graduates left stunned their friends their teaches neighbors and countryman all

shocked and. since the early hours of the morning they've come here bringing more and more and more flowers candles toys and t. is mourning a loss of tragedy that they can scarce comprehend what's worse a tragedy apparently without cause or reason. well the first funerals are currently being held in curch although later on that friday these are live pictures now. from southern russia area of course with saw such tragedy. whedon stay at what you're just seeing families and friends laying flowers onto the coffins all of the young people and of course they were young the majority of the victims being teenagers. it's an area of one hundred fifty thousand people or so so

you can imagine. it's going to be deeply affected by this tragedy for a lot of time so many families affected by what's occurred here again this is the somber scene currently playing to encourage in southern russia which was as we've been hearing from our correspondent at the scene of an attack which saw twenty people mainly young mainly teenagers lose their lives with the shooter and eventually turning a weapon on the south also funerals taking place today. in crusts nadar as well bob is where some of the yet victims too early if that some of the injured were taken for help. or just some of the saw in the main i just think if you are feeling a sense of what is being experienced in the area. little.

bit is it. yes so far since they're lining the streets as the first funerals of those people are taking place encourage some indeed for witnesses. the pain of what occurred is still roll. well see that in the light. of a style over to me a look at you filling in. the nickel to right now on a mission to be individuals and find you probable nisha in the shed to

help them figure to fiddle with. the other deceptions will come up with a little of the sit down on. the bones of the chevy dealership. for us to follow a false one take the chance to get the look and get the ones given about some ways to post additional money. but the real solution would open much more while. they have the balls run shit on the. scene in the field of a sudden the flow of a phone much of the phone call it doesn't seem to be a. to listen to the most recent news since concerning the business of the city with you

know. this is the commitment of the city commissioners in the news now you don't. seem to want to take to the summer still in order to. get through or show me this you know for the last few weeks with. your post when you use force to look in the books to support those with people social causes. that circle the more sure of the workforce with him because you put all of those. on the only problem of course i love all of the marxist politics is still in the stores some of the leaders.

came moving on to more world news this hour in a big to protect british values the u.k. home secretary has launched the review into hate crime legislation he wants to expand the law to protect more vulnerable sections all the society but was poorly boyko in our reports not everyone is happy with the idea. at the moment police in england wales and northern ireland and you when you want to set five main strands of hate crime that aggression towards someone on the basis of either that disability the sexual orientation that gender identity of race or religion but these kind secretary sajid javid gets. his way then that definition of what constitutes a hate crime will be broadened to include things like age of them and misfortune e the problem is that talk of expanding a law isn't particularly popular with those that will have to enforce the potential

new laws the police u.k. forces a struggling to maintain and effective service battling steep budget cuts and an unprecedented wave of violent crime that's the reason the government's law review has prompted criticism from one high profile police officer who's standing up to the idea saying that though it's noble it's not needed and it'll make it even harder to police what he calls genuine crime the first priority of any government is the protection of the people let us focus urgently on genuine crime supported by basic evidence let's not encourage people to think we can solve deep social problems or give employment people manners so should the police be dealing with things like wolf whistling and ages them we want to see what london this thing i think you'd rather than focus on burglaries turn up on facebook i say focus on the areas trying to cut down the crime it's obscene the police to decide how they spend

their resources i mean i would like to see more police on the beat on the street but but doesn't seem to be a very high priority in my day through all that they're being pulled away from what i think most poor gold is bread and butter issues of policing going after criminals murderers and towards law got to go after. the so-called hate crimes which mark your pleasantry into vigils before which is already an existing. legal remedy incurred under the criminal law the government says it's determined to tackle hate crime because it directly challenges british values but convincing already struggling frontline officers to expand what they have to police is going to be tough. well former metropolitan police officer roger gray thinks there are many more pressing problems that the u.k. authorities should be tackling instead this is not really helping the situation in

the country when we've got a knife crime is increasing by ten percent along with other violent crimes this is where our resources should go and stop dealing with peripheral peripheral and politically correct questions and dealing with the the basics of what mike's ass sayf get out sounds are there hubs we shouldn't have a situation where we are encouraging a culture of allegation you must build our police officer to to exercise the law that's what he's there for he is no to the greater extent a social worker he sees political correctness again going too far. no one is clusters hate speech for one social network appears to be the norm for another facebook has removed a controversial video of a preacher who compared jews to termite's it violates its rules but twitter refused to do the same saying the video is in line with its policies medina cotch never

tell us deeper now into the story. working out what torture things as a ride so wrong is no easy task take the controversial american preacher a lawyer can he wrote of this i'm not an anti semite an anti termite he wasn't clear enough he even added a video you know what to do. and do semi stop period. term and not murdered you. because you're so stupid and snotty the first time his fat his feet with such comments but there is no policy violation for twitter which says a crackdown on dehumanizing language has not yet come into effect the company has been quick to pounce on others though reported the doing average thing it can to stop the popular new mean showing liberals as an p.c.'s all that gaming term refer

still non playable characters as and background characters preprogrammed to with a limited reactions. but. there's no need to get far. they're represented by a grey faced generic character with a bland expression the character is meant to represent people who do not put themselves on a bill of have an internal monologue very many similarities to the terms basic and know me you can see why the and to liberal brigade a loves them. that your drug use .

twitter is out as not so can slap ing bans ole over the place hand. them the scope of the banning as unclear but such is the means popularity twitter as struggling to keep up and indeed those twitter struggles with its definition of hate speech it seems that it's all so failing to keep another notorious theory together you're juggling for them. 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 stud 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 anti 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 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 pushed anti russian stance with 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 well indeed the report warns that the dissent from ation war will continue despite the platforms best efforts on the troll farms the lack of success professor of russian and european politics richard suck well believes the evidence just does not support twitter's claims of interference like so much of output of the internet research agency in st petersburg 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 mix to bag 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 and it's as you say these midterms. are yet to get another big test of. of the american system at the same time. once again you're pitting this story of the. interference in the elections so it's a whole new way way for face with many accusations and very little substance obviously we're waiting for the report which will probably come out sometime early next year but the fact that it didn't come out before the midterms even if they had

something genuine conclusion genuine proof substance rather than these accusations then i would have suggested they would have come out before the midterms more world news coming your way in ninety seconds time. i am.

the grim reaper of the bond market has appeared with this with this guy and he's looking at the global bond market he's got. and it's obama apocalypse it's a tsunami bad paper and it's. going to be the greatest financial collapse ever love. you're back with our international nearly huff u.s. soldiers believe their country is likely to be drawn into a major conflict within the next twelve months according to a new poll and they're wasting no time in maintaining their combat readiness.

so forty six percent of service personnel believe such a conflict is somewhat or very likely about steroid ninety. times higher compared to the previous year. if last year it was north korea the top the chart in this poll this time around servicemen name cyber terrorism russia beijing as the greatest dangers facing the united states well former pentagon official michael maloof told us key national threats are widely misunderstood we have a looming 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 jamal khashoggi 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 if an e.m.p. went off and and they and they were able to successfully to freeze all electronic components of that aircraft it would be useless and it's a ninety million dollar airplane per copy. staying stateside remarks by the united states are going u.n. ambassador to the meeting of conservatives being leaked nikki haley claimed she was initially offered the post of secretary of state by president trump but turned it down she didn't feel qualified and she felt pretty much the same about her position

at the u.n. . i thought the job should go to someone who didn't have the same name in kerry i thought john honestly i don't even know what the. well nikki haley is jus to leave her role as a u.n. envoy in january investigative journalist mucks blumenfeld warms up the 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 present doesn't know that there's a journalist there i think her comments should be taken very seriously and received as her most canned some of her most candid remarks to date.

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 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. another story with potentially huge ramifications now r.t. has obtained video from a proposed a militarized zone and it led province in syria last terrorist in rebel strongholds in the country the government and its allies say defense lines remain intact on the implementation of the new zone is set to go ahead well we know that turkish forces are currently trying to push militants back and career is allied with a group called the national front for liberation whose fighters you can see here are video agency spoke to one of its commanders and nothing about some of it is the individual with regard to demilitarize in the buffer zone as a defense lines remain intact no soldiers are in position but they have light weaponry on the front line backed up by heavy weapons in the rear so they're able

to deter any attacks on the buffer zone agreement is being maintained smoothly without complications just some background here in the agreement was reached by moscow and encouragement september it establishes a fifteen to twenty kilometer zone and it led under the agreement to have us in heavy weaponry have to be pulled out of the area russian turkish military will also patrol the territory while they were putin has had his say in its operation in syria. the goals that we heard the beginning of the operation in syria so many years before there was countries taking part in operations fighting against terror. prism and won't was the result zero we liberated ninety five percent of the syrian republic ensuring sovereignty them so if you still have you carried out the planned operation it live but i want to say thank you to a turkish columnist we see that they all work a. lot of putin speaking earlier and now it's time to catch up with the latest sophie and co episode stan do join immediately after that for more of the stories
