wrong as a group of people. for way summit between russia. on the way. to find a solution to the syria crisis. well you're watching our international start this hour with breaking news to you because police have confirmed an active shooter at a synagogue in pittsburgh in the u.s. state of pennsylvania eyewitness who called police claimed a gunman had walked into the synagogue and. although there's no official confirmation of casualties the moment the incident is said to ten am local time well according to some reports a number of people do remain inside the building clearing the shooting. that's the

information we have at the moment and these are some of the latest pictures of course as soon as we get more information we'll bring it straight and when we see officers. the u.s. justice department has charged a man over the recent wave of parcel bombs targeting senior political figures officials identified seize a sail from his fingerprints and d.n.a. d.n.a. on one of the envelopes he allegedly sent is since been revealed to you he had a number of previous convictions the media has been stressing the suspects strong support for donald trump. this is the face police have tied to the anonymous explosive devices mailed this week to prominent democrats and apparently mad bomber has been targeting president trump's favorite targets for his invective cesar say they are calling sign this is c.n.n. socks as well as a lot of other nonsense and there he is at a trump rally and the fifty six year old florida resident today was arrested and charged with sending a series of explosive devices well fifty six year olds his indeed known to be

a supporter one with a substantial criminal record two previously convicted eight times including for car theft if found guilty of the attempted parcel bombings he could face up to fifty eight years in jail president trump in turn has condemned the incident. we will prosecute them him her whoever it may be to the fullest extent of the law. we must never allow political violence to take root in america cannot. and i'm committed to doing everything in my power as president to stop it. well the attempted bombings to highlight how polarized the us has become a new poll shows that eighty percent of americans think think their country is greatly divided forty percent of those also believe the situation will get worse two vast majority of those quizzed say that they are dissatisfied with the u.s.

politics let's talk more about this whole story with steve most bird he's a t.v. host and political commentator in the u.s. we're very place we thought him here today to talk about this state very welcome just firstly one thing that struck me with this story what's come out over the last few hours we know about his criminal background and perhaps about his state of mind but all the headlines are about the fact he supports donald trump look. as you pointed out in that report there in the in the montage there are after trump they've always been after trump but they're blaming god for this and i've always known that no matter who got for her even if it was trump himself they would blame donald trump for the rhetoric it's outrageous what the media is doing is reaching a new low there is so many angles to this story as you point out that are not being a lot better not being covered they were obsessed with blaming donald trump and now

with the aftermath of it all monitoring every word donald trump says every every blink of the eye every of blowing up his nose to see if he's doing the right thing in the aftermath of the bombing it's not and stop trying bashing and i suppose it is all quite isn't it for donald trump but when you look at the reactions he's given many people are saying look he's in on this occasion is very presidential. he's been very presidential but then he goes to his rallies and he goes off script the rallies he considers i think it is mind separate a chance to rally the base and and not be as presidential if you will when he was at that conference of young black leaders yesterday when he announced the capture as you played a portion of by the way the media never says he was at a council of young black leadership who he complimented profusely over and over again that would be a nice story for the man who supposedly a nazi a racist

a dictator they don't tell you that that so you're absolutely right in your take on this situation absolutely correct well let's just look at his background the chief suspect. we do know that he had a criminal background is there a suggestion the telltale signs and perhaps he slipped through the net somehow unnoticed there was criticism too of twitter because he sort of threatened people on twitter also. is there any plane being placed anywhere apart from it appears on donald trump. here's the thing no i hate it and here's the thing i don't rely on social but if someone is threatening me on social media i'm not going to call the social media i'm not going to report it to twitter i could care less if as account is banned or they ban you know they censor him why would i care i would call the police now you have one person in particular a former t.v. producer a former. person in the press the press person for a candidate or

a congressperson who says they it was a threat i reported it to twitter they didn't do anything and now twitter is saying they made a mistake you go to the police and you report a threat to your life not the the social media company i mean that's ridiculous not that i'm defending that the bomber by any means but when you talk about his record he threatened to bomb an electric company he was put on probation and violated that he's been convicted we're talking about battery would talk about drug possession would cover all kinds of my first question was why isn't he in jail why why is this man out with all the these convictions and all these crimes why is he walking around in the first place that's the problem here it's wipro policies when it comes to the criminal justice system that's why he's out nonetheless state has been having have any politicized hasn't this story to think it will affect the midterm.

i don't know why you know i can't go by me because i'm immersed in this all the time as you are but i don't or ticked off and never as a conservative in a republic and i'm more motivated than ever to see how they are blaming donald trump they didn't blame bernie sanders when one of his supporters shot those congressman a year ago go at the baseball practice and and almost killed steve police no one said it was bernie sanders fault even though this guy was a bernie sanders supporter so i'm more motivated and i'm hoping that it gets republicans more motivated i just finally steve i keep reading that this whole story does highlight the divisions in american society is that unlike the statement no i think we are more divided than ever then ever when you have the former vice president of the united states saying i'd like to take the president now behind the schoolhouse and beat the crap out of him and the media laughs that says happy ah

that's that word big big trouble in this country we are divided and i don't see any way that we all come together any time soon ok state nice until she we're going to have to leave it that was the most the from the us a t.v. have sound political commentator thank you i will some in the media initially actually suggested that russia might be behind the possible moves in a bid to inflame the current divisions. i have this fear that it could be some russian operation to design to do what's happening now however recent polls showing that more people actually that the mainstream media's coverage of russia at the moment calum often has more on that. 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 of millions of voices suddenly cried out to the sun this time so we decided to show these headlines to new yorkers let's see if they can spot the fake want our russian. weaves on instagram. maybe it could be true it's also its own street that was there the kremlin back trolls you stars like emma watson to spread discord in the west and really it sounds. more real sound real the. russian bots promote guns after florida school shooting. yes that sounds to sound real. for the last jet i was actually spread by russian trolls. not only galadriel i think this.

is not a. trick question they're all headlines are all real and what you make it. ok it's crazy you tricked me i could believe the real headlights that doesn't mean they're real that it could. be 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 is. they're just trying to you know stir up some sort of. free show are 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 mop and r.t. new york. ok let's go back to our breaking news because police have confirmed that an active shooter situation at a synagogue in pittsburgh in u.s. state pennsylvania a witness who called police claimed that the gunman had walked into the synagogue and started to open fire and we can show you live pictures from the scene right now

to. the infantry said to be ten am local time according to some reports to a number of people still remain inside the building including the shooter the emergency services are on site speak and see there have been mixed reports too we should say over the number of dead perhaps with claims ranging from two multiple fatalities although there's been no official confirmation on that two police officers were also reportedly shot at as they arrived on the scene saturday is traditionally the busiest day of the week for synagogues of course we keeping across the story seems we get new information we bring you which. it was pretty good too and how many. of the conflicts in syria appearing to be in its final phase people in the war torn country still have a long way to go before finding reconciliation why the need to keep france germany and russia and i discussing steps were a peaceful resolution as

a four way summit gets under way today right before the beginning of the summit leaders held talks behind closed doors first the president met with the russian leader and then. sat down with anchor merkel. is in the rest with more on what we can expect from the summit. what we've got here today on saturday truly impressive just after one pm local time here in istanbul we saw the planes of first. lot of our approach and then finally manual macron add to the. airport just like subway trains following each other at the station now we've never seen this kind of format before on the one hand we've got the countries that are trying to push for peace in syria through the so-called astern of pro says minus iran on the other hand germany france and turkey are some

of the strongest nato players in europe and we cannot help pointing out that donald trump isn't going to be around on saturday well since this kind of event is something out of salute the new and of course we understand that there is always something special in the links between all these foreign leaders it is very hard to predict the format but we did hear something about it from the russian president's press secretary dmitri peskov fronts in germany had participated in discussing serious problems and are different from the issue of the days to reconcile different food. in order to synchronize which is negotiate and to attempt to identify common topics it is hard to say right away what subjects will be touched upon it will be the first discussion of this kind while if this wasn't clear enough i guess we can look at some of the things that the turkish media

pointed out to according to them the things that will be brought up on saturday are the reconsolidation in syria as a whole albeit slowly besides this ways to preserve the zone in the province also another really tough task is to hold elections in syria plus the return of the displaced people the refugees and there's another issue that's very important for the presence of kurds and northern syria just once again i want to point out that washington will not be here in a stamboul but according to other media reports we heard that emmanuel macro on how to phone conversation with donald trump just a little bit earlier basically the result of this was some kind of common understanding that the united states and france share the same security humanitarian and political objectives in syria so the question is will manual macron become

a kind of donald trump ambassador here in. a very soon will find that out. of reporting and that the european court of human rights has ruled the faming the prophet mohammed does full side the limits of acceptable speech judges rejected in the pale from an austrian woman who'd been seeking to overturn a conviction for insulting islam the domestic courts comprehensively assessed the wider context of the applicant statements and carefully balanced a right to freedom of expression with the right of others to have their religious feelings protected and serve the legitimate aim of preserving religious peace in austria. the woman identified only as yes held to seminars back in two thousand and nine called basic information on islam she reportedly used the classes to characterize the prophet is a paedophile for marrying a six year old that led to a conviction in twenty eleven forty faming religious doctrines and

a fine of nearly five hundred euro's her appeal on the grounds of free speech had earlier also been rejected by the austrian courts we put the story up for debate. this is about faith of course muslims don't like that their prophet mohammed is being criticized but it should be in this instance you know we should have free speech i'm sorry i as a muslim will work on any sort of dialogue or discussion with any critic of islam as long as it is of all of you sit down and be taught 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 to 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 i actually i think is a very important. thing to have but become of a low people to use and abuse that to become racist demonize a group of people and and then make him into others and there's not really this value and then 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 in that is no no you 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 there is no violence on

the part of europeans to woods to what's muslims they are welcome in europe but they must remain end of private sphere look muslims will come in europe that is the . resisting to say you know these are people who are part and parcel of what europeans look what you're in no you're you're you're just saying will come of course they're welcome there they're all streatham people who are asked them and they've been austrian systems out of the year nineteen of there are six thousand muslims in origin so what you want to say that they don't need you to work on them they belong to austria this is a language of exclusion this language of other than this 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 our. ok let's give you an update on our breaking news this hour because police have confirmed there is an active shooter situation at a synagogue in pittsburgh in the u.s.

state of pennsylvania a witness who called police claim that a gunman had walked into the synagogue during a service and started to open fire the incident is said to have begun at a ten am local time according to some reports a number of people do still remain inside the building including the shooter in the services area at the scene now there have been mixed reports over the number of dead with claims ranging from four to multiple fatalities although as yet there's been no official confirmation of any numbers until two police officers were also reportedly shot at as they arrived at the scene saturday is traditionally the busiest day of the week for synagogues well a policeman at the scene has been giving us. that brief message we need to get out to the community a short time ago we were dispatched active gunfire at the tree of life synagogue and school hill right now we have multiple casualties we're working the situation

it is imperative that the neighbors in the community surrounding the tree of life synagogue stay in their houses and shelter in place do not come out of your home right now it is not safe the synagogue which has been targeted is called the tree of life and was founded five years ago according to its web site it was formed after two congregations in pittsburgh merged together hundreds of worshipers visit every saturday for services some news in all so we're getting unconfirmed reports from the shooter has been apprehended still waiting for confirmation of that but the u.s. president has reacted on twitter to the shooting saying he is watching the events closely and it looks like there are multiple fatalities of course we'll keep an eye on all of this for you and bring you more information as we get it.

our british universities found itself at the center of a storm after a student union president called for the removal of one hundred year old memorial honoring soldiers who fought in the first world war with more his and says it your corner 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 reason it features only white men mark my words we're taking downs a mural white man in the unit senator room even if i have to paint or 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 that mural 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 are fully aware of and appreciate the involvement of black and asian soldiers against tyranny. 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. will i. i i i.

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 is three you're literally blaming these people died for you and they couldn't get the degree you have the pleasure to be together they couldn't 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 i can accept that it's happened and maybe it wasn't right ever but it's you know you can only write for. many different people for just what many . times over your history to fight. the supposed white man who is.

the point of rewriting well one i do hope that more people. all i care bruce will be discussing it in greater depth. one of the major stars of n.b.c. has found herself out of work after a televised discussion about what is and what isn't acceptable costume to wear the halloween. well it is racist because because this is truly what 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 a black rat is 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 and i promise you i don't decide if it hurts or not. there has never been a time in that in her forty seven years that blackface has been acceptable. where is a man oh man. i know of would be a murder and go what not a lot of black fulfillment. things one may 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 the whole look over the sky and say what the hell born on earth there were for live on other planets 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 energy i'm a business has been dented by their occasional forays into blackface except making kelly who was not liberal enough and got punished for that that's the way n.b.c. and most american media does business liberalism first common sense way later.
