twenty victims of a gunman who opened fire on fellow students of a college in the city of courage but amid the pain stories have emerged of her quick thinking actions which prevented more dance. urge is a quiet place a small seaside town kind of place where the neighborhoods everyone knows everyone it is one of the last places in the world where you would expect a school or college shooting or thought they did but some hatreds evidently buried too deep because i stalk a few it's so common these are very common tragedy our town is really small everyone knows each other the blast and the following rampage with catastrophic
5:14 am
injury and killing dozens upon dozens. of people sparking panic and histeria as teenagers and stuff fled for their lives. in that chaos heroes when they just just my friend meaning fiend was there he helped his friend corner who was injured in the blast he covered him to shield him from the bullets they're both in hospital now one has the shrapnel wound and winning team is paralyzed nobody knows whether he will be able to walk again but from the horrors of this massacre some good has emerged selflessness sacrifice courage and bravery teenagers barely older than children acted as few adults ever cool but it got the better of course if you're going to they have just graduated when this happened these guys were throwing rocks at their attacker they
5:15 am
were trying to distract him because behind his back there were a group of kids mostly girls trying to escape so these guys decided to divert the shooters attention to help the girls these four boys are dead now. so meaning. girl i knew him on the wounded i tried to save her i carried her to the ambulance i left her there and went to help the others i saw a lot of people bleeding land on benches it was awful. about. immutability times i saw a guy being attacked i try to help him but it was too late then i saw my friend something was wrong with his legs the couldn't walk so i dragged him all the way to the fans. the mushy it is now you will never know every accept heroism and kindness that took place last now in the confusion the adrenaline the modesty and in death but it wasn't just the students it was also
5:16 am
bystanders volunteers and good samaritans. i work nearby when i heard what happened i came here to help anyone i could see there were people without limbs just lying on the street everyone tried to help more just to get more of. when the wounded began to overwhelm local clinics the medical students jumped in to help. them but when it happened we were at our medical college we were in class when a teacher stormed in and said they need people to help with the injured so we rushed to the hospital we had no time to even put our lab coats on we started to take people out of the ambulances for emergency help people just kept on coming for several hours it's fair to say that when the killer struck the stuff the students were utterly unprepared it's also fair to say that no amount of readiness in the
5:17 am
world would prepare any sort of school for an explosion that size in the cafeteria or mania blitzing through the court rules but even stalled. the confusion the panic the fear that with those set aside self-preservation in order to help others risking life and limb. once again even in acts of overwhelming evil there is space for good. being told to clean your room and look after your pet cat sounds like an angry parent a troublesome teenager but this time it's strict new house rules being imposed on julian assange by ecuador we get into ninety seconds.
5:18 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 all. this obama apocalypse it's a tsunami bad paper and it's. going to be the greatest financial collapse ever loving. north korea's history of this to be seventy years we are one of the only few countries that has seventy years of history of diplomatic relationship with them we are. nuclear free the discussion in this policy is working for us and we're trying to communicate you
5:19 am
know this denuclearized you know situation may contribute much bitzer to their security then the. nuclear you know program. one thousand minutes into the program welcome back the russian embassy in washington is warning that next month's midterm election in the u.s. will be used as a convenient excuse for a smear campaign against moscow it follows the u.s. justice department filing criminal charges against a russian woman for allegedly orchestrating a social media campaign to interfere in the congressional poll reporting live from new york city here is killed it. the u.s. department of justice has indicted a woman who is forty four years old an accountant living in st petersburg now she
5:20 am
is the first person to be indicted and it is alleged that she was meddling in the upcoming midterm congressional elections in the united states she's being charged by the u.s. department of justice with conspiracy to defraud the united states it's alleged that she had millions of dollars invested into social media activity that was intended to quote so division and discord in the u.s. political system in july we heard from christopher ray he's the director of the f.b.i. and he says that no evidence of such a plot by russia actually had been discovered so far we haven't yet seen an effort to target specific election infrastructure at this point it's not alleged that any voting machines were targeted it's not alleged any voter registration records or any election infrastructure was in any way targeted now this comes in the aftermath of twitter releasing a collection of tweets it says came from russian trolls and quite a large number of tweets and the report itself actually admits that these tweets
5:21 am
their influence was rather negligible they really didn't have much of an impact on the u.s. election in two thousand and sixteen strangely enough you know these tweets are not only directed against hillary clinton but also directed against donald trump and in fact they were more effective when they were targeting trump so the allegation that there was some sort of russian conspiracy to get donald trump in the white house doesn't exactly add up if that were the case why would these russian votes and trolls be working to hurt donald trump rather than help him and why would they be working for the benefit of hillary clinton she has been named in previous indictments from the u.s. department of justice the bob mueller investigation regarding the twenty sixteen election she was named however at this point we're now seeing her named and charged in connection to alleged meddling in the twenty eight thousand elections which have not yet taken place which are coming up in november. the complaint is there was probable cause to believe that the individual in question was conspiring to
5:22 am
undermine the u.s. democratic system it also detailed at the so-called troll factory she allegedly work dollars of didn't support a single count it but posted content in favor of both democrats and republicans the social media accounts contributed to discussions on a wide variety of already controversial topics including immigration gun control and race relations. well the executive director of the ron paul peace institute sais he believes the charges raise it worrying implications for freedom of speech is it illegal for other people to even write or comment about internal american affairs i thought that's what a democracy less would have three debate of ideas was about was about we don't have freedom of speech to talk about the weather we have freedom of speech to talk about very difficult issues if part of ocracy is so weak that even bringing up these issues can undermine the faith and democracy then the problem is a lot more serious than
5:23 am
a couple of russians taking out facebook ads think at this point it's less about russians i think it's about criminalizing dissent in america was a massive purge of facebook and twitter websites this past week a very large chunk of them were very reputable alternative media sites that question the state and if you look at facebook statement about why they were banning them they said ok well these are american sites but they're exhibiting behavior reminiscent of the russian sites that we've banned so i think the russian bogeyman is out there to provide for the elimination of any political dissent where they're left or right libertarian progressive in america that's the real target. clean your room pay the bills on look after your cut there are just some of the strict new harsh rules being imposed on julian the songe while he's a living guest of the ecuadorian embassy in london but the wiki leaks founder say's the rules violate his he. and right so the ecuadorian government which has been
5:24 am
sheltering him for the past dozen years wiki leaks has confirmed that a lawyer has filed a case against ecuador has internet access cut off several months ago ecuador has also blocked meetings between lawyers journalists human rights groups subjected to what's known as special protocol particularly stringent keeping. in the ecuadorian embassy in london twenty twelve when swedish prosecutors filed
5:25 am
rape charges against them charges were suspended but the whistleblower has been restricted to the embassies for walls in the u.k. after he skipped bail in the country and he could still face extradition to. the leaking of classified data back in two thousand and ten human rights activist peter tatchell things. are designed to encourage him to leave the embassy. the special protocols which are quite extraordinary are directly a response to the pressure that the ecuadorian to facing from the united states all of these rules are arbitrary with no rights of appeal during a songe is an ecuadorian citizen he was dr this is a job he has the rights of a ticker and citizen which includes freedom of expression and freedom of association so quite clearly what ecuador is doing to bring this on and is in violation of its own laws and own constitution this kind of restriction is enough
5:26 am
to drive someone to a mental breakdown and perhaps that is the intention to make life so on bearable for during a sound that he will voluntarily decide to the. that's the way i think most people including people in the human rights community are reading it this is basically an ultimatum to julian a sound. peter tatchell well that's our new stories for now but our programs are only beginning to start in just a tick and i'm back in thirty with all the latest global it's. going to.
5:27 am
join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sport this list i'm showbusiness i'll see you then. i did the war planning for the principle source provider command in the united states military or for years i've worked on this region for years i do not understand this saudi arabia is the greatest state sponsor of terrorism in the world still today and yet we all here on that we lie when we say that we outright blatantly lie when we say that and moreover we know we're lucky.
5:28 am
cranking gave americans a lot of job opportunities i needed to come up here to make some money i could make twenty five thousand dollars as a teacher or i could make fifty thousand dollars a year truck so i chose to drive truck people who rush to a small town. down in north dakota was an unemployment rate of zero percent like gold rush is very very similar to a gold rush but this beautiful story ended with pollution and devastation a lot of people have left here i don't know too many people here anymore just slow down so much they lost jobs got laid off and the american dream is changing that's not what it used to be. and it's a tough reality to deal with. and

5:30 am
their balance sheet shrunk by two hundred eighty five billion dollars over in japan where they've had something like thirty years of quantitative easing and then they . came along and they jumped it up to q q qualitative and quantitative economic easing q e party is drying up even at the bank of japan despite repeated speeches to the contrary as of september thirtieth total assets on the bank of japan's elephant time balance sheet dropped by five point four trillion yen which is thirty three billion dollars from a month earlier to five hundred thirty seven trillion yen or four point eight seven trillion dollars four point seven trillion dollars is the bank of japan's balance sheet and they said it was the fourth month over month decline and a series that started in december this is what that looks like here is the total bank of japan total assets that's a little scoop down.
