goes as far as saying in some instances it was wrong would become other people to use and abuse to become greece is the. revelation that britain's energy minister. for. some of the pressure. in the u.k. . and the president of the student union. university. up to calling for the removal of. the pics. saturday morning and eight o'clock on october the twenty seventh here in moscow welcome talk top stories on our teams and. the u.s. justice department. fifty six year old say york is the man behind being held i

should say in custody with connection to the recent wave of mail bombs targeting a range of senior political figures officials say they identified his fingerprints and d.n.a. from one of the envelopes he had allegedly sent. he has been charged today with fired federal crimes including interstate transportation many explosive legal mailing explosives threats against former presidents and certain other persons threatening interstate communications and assaulting current and former federal officers are for a moment let's look at what we know about the suspect osaze out of say york he appears to be a chump supporter for years he's been living in a van covered in pro trumpet bumper stickers. already has a criminal record he was previously convicted of car theft now if found guilty of the attempted possible bombings he could face up to fifty eight years in prison and

among the targets of his thirteen packages were a rock obama hillary clinton on c.n.n. at all meantime has condemned the incident. we will prosecute them him her whoever it may be to the fullest extent of the law. and we must never allow political violence to take root in america cannot let it happen and i'm committed to doing everything in my power as president to stop it the attempted bombings which appear politically motivated to highlight how polarized the u.s. has become certainly right ahead of the mid summer elections in just over a week and this is actually confirmed by a new survey which found that eighty percent of americans think the country is greatly divided. it is also found that almost forty percent of those polled believe the situation will worsen the poll also revealed that among the most contentious political issues are donald trump's presidency economic inequality and race

relations a lawyer and a political activist a christian mindset and told us there needs to be a concerted effort to reduce the current level of ill feeling and bring people together. both sides have to tone it down both the president and the media and other political sectors have to come together and understand that we cannot continue sending these inflammatory comments on t.v. and on social media because there are people who take it personally and then they think that they have a way to respond and this is one example now is the republican side that has this crazy follower and we also had this democratic extreme left follower a few a few months ago when he attacked congressman scott lee so i think that we have to be very careful because this is becoming a real problem out and while the many in the us feel that divisions will only worsen some in the mainstream media initially pointed the finger at russia as being

behind the possible bomb. i have this fear that it could be some russian operation to designed to do what's happening now with the recent polls are showing that a more western as i doubt the mainstream media's coverage of russia is caleb maupin . a while back it might be weeks between any russia related stories in mainstream media but times have changed and now it seems that no matter what the topic mainstream media finds a way to bring russia into it russia harvested american rage to reshape u.s. politics how the russians are trying to turn the tragedy to their advantage to target almost every major american social movement there's russian bots still pushing divisive past tags apparently accounts on social media even now so with stories of big bad russia playing round the clock on their television screens you would think that people living in western countries would be in a state of anti russian hysteria except they aren't according to

a poll conducted by the french institute for public opinion it turns out that nearly half of americans and europeans don't buy into the russian coverage in the mainstream press france takes the lead when it comes to being wary of mainstream media russia reporting however across the pond people are slightly more trusting yet forty three percent of the u.s. public is wary of the russian coverage around the clock so why are people less trusting well lately the russian coverage has gotten a little bit weird russia is being blamed for the controversy around football players kneeling during the national anthem rush is being encouraged of having stars like emma watson used in memes in order to troll teenagers russia is even being blamed for criticism of the last jet a star wars movie and a great disturbance in the force says millions of voices suddenly cried. with such signs so we decided to show these headlines to new yorkers let's see if they can

spot the fake want our russian selling weaves on instagram. maybe it could be that sound so it sounds to the woods or the other kremlin backed trolls use stars like emma watson to spread discord in the west. really that sounds . more real sound real the russian bots promote guns after florida school shooting . yes through that sounds does sound real hate for the last jet i was actually spread by russian trolls fake i don't like no one's real i think the last. is not a true headline trick question they're all headlines those are all real and what do you make of. that's crazy you tricked me i could believe the real headlines that doesn't mean they're real out of control think the media is a little hysterical want to talk about this stuff yes i think so clearly according to those headlines i think so trying to get a reaction out of. me just trying to you know stir up some sort of.

freeze sure some americans buy it but a lot of others don't skepticism is everywhere it seems that rather than forming an anti russian mob a lot of americans have decided to question more cable mopp and r.t. new york the european court of human rights has ruled that defending the prophet mohammed folds outside the limits over acceptable speech the case for a panel of judges reject an appeal from an austrian woman who had been seeking to overturn a conviction for insulting islam. the domestic courts comprehensively assess the wider context of the applicant statements and careful a balanced your right to freedom of expression with the right of others to have their religious feelings protected and served legitimate aim of preserving religious peace you know austria the woman identified only as e s has led to similar seminars are back in two thousand and nine intitled basic information on

islam she allegedly used at the classes to characterize the prophet as a paedophile that led to a conviction in twenty eleven for defaming religious doctrines and a fine of four hundred eighty euros or appealed on the grounds of free speech and alia also been rejected by the austrian courts and we've got reaction to the story from journalist a look we have on the must so that should be from the islamic human rights commission. this is about a faith of course muslims don't like that their prophet mohammed is being criticized but it should be in this instance we should have free speech i'm sorry i as a muslim will work on any sort of dialogue or discussion with any critic office lol as long as it is of all of you sit down and we talk but if somebody actually turns around the abuse and becomes abusive then that's a different kettle of fish it's a cultural discussions it happens in our societies so islam must be ready also took

be tackled to be questioned about certain things that are not acceptable that are also legislations now against islamophobia why one people should be free to be islamophobia as some people are anti christian for anti-christian for example so it should be free we should have free speech and it goes as far as saying in some instances that perfect mohammad was very wrong you know we cannot allow people to use the concept of freedom of speech which actually i think is a very. important. thing to have but we cannot allow people to use and abuse that to become racist demonize a group of people and then make them into others and there's not really this value and then we promote fascism come on come on anti semitism is racism clearly but islamophobia is against

a religion and i can moderate it sorry not sort of even that is mono didn't look you are you're you're really you're really hiding behind the fact of the mother is i don't want fascism to come back in the streets of europe why do you speak about factious nobody stare a lady was found which is that hundred euro in austria and this was upheld by a court of human rights are you are we or not it was really are you seriously are you really asleep open your eyes don't you see the rise of fascism in the streets of europe don't you see it if you don't see it you're actually sleepwalking there is no violence on the part of europeans to what's towards muslims they are welcome in europe but they must remain and the private sphere look muslims will come in europe that is a racist thing to say you know these are people who are part and parcel of what europeans say look what you mean no you're you're you're just saying will come of

course there will come there are stricken people who are austrian and they've been austrian since two thousand of these are nineteen of the us excited though not slim as an aria so don't go on the say that they don't need you to work on them they belong to austria this is a language of exclusion this language of otherness is exactly what i'm talking about the reality is that we can sort of have sort of one set of rules and laws for one community and another one for another. one of the you can. top universities has found itself at the center of a controversy after the head of its student union a cold for the removal of a one hundred year old memorial honoring soldiers who fought in the first world war artie's honest i see a truck and i picks up the story. here at the university of southampton a student union president has caused a lot of outrage after she demanded a world war one memorial new movie scrapped the reason it features only white men

mark my words we have taken down a mural white man in a unit senator i'm even if i have to paint over it myself the problem is it's not just a random white man on the mural the image was painted in one thousand sixteen and is known to students who fought and died in the first world war without being able to complete their degrees so this remark to get rid of them the world drew a lot of criticism including from a descendant of the artist the sentiment behind the painting is wonderful it's awful to see women like this browsing off on twitter about something as idiotic as that this means that real issues then don't get discussed. i hope she will reflect on what she has said and realize it has been conducted in poor taste those who know the history of our island fully aware and appreciate the involvement of black and asian soldier so against time running. the university told us this the comments made by the students union president regarding the rothstein muro are

not shared by the university of southampton we are very proud to display the miro which serves as a memorial to all members of british universities who served in the great war this is far from the first time you can universities have been rocked with similar scandals. and. i. was. despite an apology from the woman at the center of the controversy a petition to remove her from the post of student union president has been quickly gathering supporters let's find out exactly what students at the university make of it all and we disagree with. all of our opinions there are people who are very enraged because it's like you're touching because you're something of the narrator

as you're writing if you want and you are writing a story you're literally blaming these people died for your country and they couldn't get the degree you have the pleasure to deport you need to get out they couldn't see it something real real and that's real i think history is something we kind of have to accept it rewriting it's not the right way that's denying i history like you can accept that it's happened and maybe it was a right ever but it's not you can only rewrite facts there are many different people for just what many. times or for your history defect. suppose a white man who is for. the point every right. they do hope that more people on campus will be discussing it in greater depth. past the hour here in moscow with halloween just days away one n.b.c. host has suddenly found himself without a job after a televised discussion about what is and what is not an acceptable.

well it is racist because because of the situation but you do get in trouble if you are a white person who puts on the halloween or a black person who puts out a white face yeah we like that background as a kid that was ok as long as you were dressing up like a character and. i defended the idea saying as long as it was as it was respectful and part of the hollowing costume it seemed ok well i was wrong and i am sorry. to not know historical significance of that she said something stupid she said something indefensible she owes a bigger apology to the folks of color around the country people don't get to decide what's racist if i punch you i don't decide if it hurts or not do there has

never been a time in that in her forty seven years that blackface has been acceptable. where is a man oh man. no one would be a murderer and go what mad lot of black fullfillment still. think when they say is true in the words of the old me spiritual i have gone black. and i can't go back. some time and i told will look over the sky and see what the hail born on up there and you are full of all the planning for the whole r.t.t. .

well if you already are a pro-forma liberal with left wing views there's no reason to fire you they didn't have something that they wanted to get rid of for say jimmy fallon or jimmy kimmel the late night comedy talk show host who both in the last ten years have been seen on television dressed as black people famous black people including black makeup on their faces nobody in the american entertainment is has been dented by their occasional forays into blackface except making kelly who was not liberal enough and got punished for exactly that's the way n.b.c. and most american media does business liberalism first common sense way later. well many more stories till they get to you on this a saturday morning here in moscow your program returns and justice.

trom has been coming up with a lot of statements saying that the arab states of the gulf should take care of the middle east or other we're still committed to the middle east so there's there's a lot of incoherence is there but i think saudi arabia is hugely important to the united states and i think trump understands that and this is this is exactly what was driving his kind of commentary on the. killing i think that's the end of the day it's not going to change the status quo of america's policy. with manufactured sentenced to the public will. when the ruling class is protect themselves. with the fine. we can all middle of the room. for the.

good of you to join us today for the news. straight to the u.k. where the government well it's throwing its weight behind the fracking industry and causing outrage among environmental activists they claim the gas extraction method poses a great deal of danger to both nature and people living near the drilling sites and this comes against a backdrop of multiple tremors as party boy investigates energy company calls it a might craze seismic event but others might just call it a tremor or even a tiny quake and it took place on friday morning around quadrillions fracking site in lancashire as a result of the drilling taking place the company's released a statement explaining what. when they said it took place at around eleven thirty

in the morning it was measured to be nor point seven six on the richter scale and the company was alerted to it because of this alert system that it has and it came up as a red light incident on the sort of dangerous scale of fracking that anyone fracking in the u.k. has to adhere to and anything over north point five constitutes a red light incident so point seven six that this incident was is actually quite far into red light territory and as a result i had to pause operations but only for eighteen hours that was done in order to monitor seismicity levels in the area and the statement that they released said that they expect to start fracking again on saturday morning and it also goes on to kind of play down the incident gruesomeness big events such as these results in tiny movements. anything that would be filled surface cause any harm or damage

without the sophisticated monitoring in place that could drill and they would not be detected so no big deal according to the company doing their fracking although that's not what environmental campaigners or locals in lancashire and that fracking site would have to say there has been a lot of opposition to the commencement of drilling in the u.k. it's been incredibly contentious and it's been dogged by legal challenges and protests from locals and activists in fact three anti fracking protesters were imprisoned earlier this year because they climbed on to lorries to oppose that fracking site in lancashire over the summer and they're thought to be the first environmental protesters to be imprisoned in the u.k. since nineteen thirty two although they have since been released after a judgement by the court of appeal here in britain but the seismic incident this morning is by no means the first time there's been a tremor as

a result. of exploratory drilling for shale gas there are twelve tremors this week alone and bear in mind there's only been a week of drilling so far so not the best start to the government's shale gas revolution here in the u.k. but ministers are determined to crack on with it so much so it's been revealed by the guardian that the government's energy minister claire perry held a private meeting with energy firms earlier this month which she failed to record on the government's transparency register and thanks to a freedom of information request the guardian found out that at that meeting she said that the government hopes to create a u.k. model for shale gas extraction which can be exported all around the world but given this latest seismic incident in lancashire one might argue that that model needs a bit of improving. we asked the department for business energy and industrial strategy for comment on the ministers meeting it told us that the meeting was

a presentation to industry unions and community groups are in a vent and therefore not disclosed as a ministerial meeting there is want to stress that the u.k.'s energy minister has always been absolutely clear about the need to maintain high regulatory standards but i don't see fracking campaign you know louise rather read told us she's not convinced by the government's assurances what clear perry will have been discussing i would imagine with industry was how smooth she could make it for them if she eases planning restrictions and. had worked with the regulators to make it a lot simpler i mean she was talking about you know we were kind of point with the size of this point by and she was talking about raising that level so that they could cause a lot more seismicity for having to shut down you know we are deeply concerned this is an industry that's got off to a very bad start seven years ago and has yet to redeem itself and when they talk about exporting our expertise what x. the t's it would take decades to get expertise we certainly don't have it now as

has been proved so the energy today is still not with its accounts which was our school i think it just produced a scout and he showed it in a diabolical state you know these industry this industry is not what it sells itself as a government as i've been hoodwinked or is somehow in collusion. health officials in gaza say five palestinians were shot dead by israeli soldiers during the latest wave of occupation protests along the perimeter fence on friday a further one hundred seventy people were reportedly injured and the i.d.f. which has repeatedly defended its use of deadly force against the great march of return demonstrators so that several individuals attempted to breach the fence local journalist also you had reports from the scene. by zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero. what goes on. palestinians. demanding the
