in the european court of human rights an appeal which sought to use the freedom of speech to define the prophet mohammed we put the issue. we should have free speech and it goes as far as saying in some instances that was very wrong would become of people to use and abuse to become demonized a group of people. are welcome this is our international start with that breaking news this hour because there's been a shooting at a synagogue in pittsburgh in the u.s. state of pennsylvania policeman say that the shooter has been detained and confirm to you that there have been multiple fatalities three policemen were also shot witnesses said a gunman had walked into the synagogue during a morning service. started to open fire there have been unconfirmed reports on the

number of dead with claims up to seven people may have been killed a policeman hit the shot is they arrived saying in the attack happened to them what is traditionally the busiest day of them going for cynical when a policeman at the scene gave more details of the suspect in the shooting is in custody we have multiple casualties inside the synagogue we have three officers who have been shot. and we have no more information because we are still clearing the building and trying to figure out. if the situation is safe if there are any more threats inside the building or the synagogue which has been targeted is called the tree of life ms founded five years ago according to its web site it was formed after two congregations in pittsburgh merged together hundreds of worshippers visit every saturday services the us president meanwhile has reacted on twitter to the shooting saying that he is watching the events there closely and it does look like there are multiple fatalities and the shooter has been said has been detained by

police meanwhile the head of the synagogue that was attacked has been speaking to the media started i was getting dressed to go up to service a little before ten o'clock and one of the people the vice president that i work with on facility management here called me from lancaster and he said there's a report that is an active shooter he works for the city so he has special communications with emergency services and he said get up there and check it out i tried heading up shady avenue you to the building and it was entirely blocked off what human and labor rights lawyer dan kadlec often a guest here not say was at the scene shortly after this happened and he told us the latest from the. it's a very generally safe and. active place has a lot of shops a lot of people come here couldn't myself. and at least four people have been

killed and there's police everywhere at this point a lot of the neighborhood has been closed off just that there's at least one shooter who started shooting in the synagogue. again hitting a number of people killing at least four that i've heard of so far it is a lot in lockdown and i can't get any closer than i am right now. a lot of the streets are closed off. here. now in other news this evening with the conflict 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 that is why the need to keep france germany and russia and i discussing steps for a peaceful resolution as a four way summit does get underway and bull right before the beginning of the summit today the leaders held talks behind closed to the president met with the

russian leader. and then. with. more on what we can expect from the sun. what we've got here today on saturday truly impressive just after one pm local time here and we saw the planes of first. lot of our approach and 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 asked sort 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 is going to be around on saturday well since this kind of event is something 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. different from the issue of the days to reconcile different formats 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 according to them the things that will be brought on saturday are reconsolidation in syria as

a whole albeit slowly besides this ways to preserve the did militarized 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 this poll 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 kind of donald trump ambassador here and. very soon will find that out

shortly in a prank reporting well we do expect the lead is the fully just to hold a press conference about. any minute now and it seems to happen we're going straight to it. now the u.s. justice department has charged a man over the recent wave of possible bomb top bombs targeting senior political figures officials identified seize a sail from his fingerprints and d.n.a. on one of the envelopes he allegedly sent it since being revealed to 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 while fifty six year old sale is indeed known to be a trump supporter and one with a substantial criminal record to you previously convicted eight times including for car theft if found guilty of the attempted parcel bomb ings he could face up to fifty eight years in jail president trump meanwhile 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. it's empted bombings to highlight how polarized the us has become a new poll in fact does show that eighty percent of americans think their country's now greatly divided forty percent of those also believe the situation will actually

get worse the vast majority of those quizzed say that they are dissatisfied with the u.s. politics lawyer and political activist christian man said he believes that the main task now is to 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 can now 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 and now is the republican side that has this crazy follower and we also have this democratic extreme left follower a few of few months ago when he attacked congressman scully so i think that we have to be very careful because this is becoming a real problem out of some in the media did initially suggest that russia might be behind the parcel bombs in a bid to inflame the current divisions i have this fear that it could be some

russian operation too in designed to do what's happening now however recent polls are showing that more people are actually doubting the mainstream media's coverage of russia at the moment more pain has more on the. 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 out into the sun this time so we decided to show these headlines to new yorkers let's see if they can spot the fake one are russian selling weaves on instagram.

maybe it could be true it's also its own street that was here the other kremlin backed trolls you stars like the watson to spread discord in the west. really it sounds. more real that sound real the. russian bots promote guns after florida school shooting. yes that sounds great does it sound real no hate for the last jet i was actually spread by russian troll. fake i don't think now it's real i think. is not a real headline trick question they're all headlines those are all real and what you make of it. 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 is not the right or the left they're just trying to you know stir up some sort of craze 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. with us tonight we'll have more news in team and stuff. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter us is over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten point zero or timestamping each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you long for the old rich eight point six percent market

saw thirty percent from his last year home with four hundred to five hundred three per second per second and when he rose to twenty thousand dollars. china's bill. two point one billion dollar industrial park but don't let the numbers over the world. the only number you need to remember it was one you know for him it's the one and only boom box. though again now the european court of human rights has ruled thirteen faming the prophet mohammed falls outside the limits of acceptable speech judges rejected in the pill from an austrian woman who'd been seeking to overturn

a conviction for insulting islam the domestic courts comprehensively assess the wider context of the applicant statements and carefully balanced her 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 a yes held to seminars back in two thousand and nine called basic information on islam she reportedly used the classes to characterize the prophet as a paedophile for marrying a six year old that led to a conviction in twenty eleven forty faming religious doctrines and also a fine of nearly five hundred euros spoil her appeal on the grounds of free speech and 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 muhammad is being criticized but he should be in this instance we should have free speech i'm sorry as

a muslim who will come to any sort of dialogue or discussion with any critic of islam as long as it is of all of us 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 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 him into others and there's no clearly this is valued 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 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 would still what's muslims they are welcome in europe but they must remain end of private sphere look muslims will come in europe that is there. a racist thing to say you know these are people who are part and parcel of what the europeans say look what you mean no you're you're you're just saying will come of course or will come there all streatham people who are austrian and they've

been austrian since two zero zero zero two zero nineteen zero that are sixty eight thousand muslims in orissa so why don't you 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 another one for all the. british university has 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 details is and situation 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 but mark my words were taken downs a mural white man in

a 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 have 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 or what 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 i narrated you're writing if you want and you are writing is three you're literally blaming these people died for your country and they couldn't get the degree you have the

pleasure to. think they couldn't something real real and that's real i think history is something we kind of have to accept that rewriting is not the right way that's denying i history i can accept that it's happened and maybe it wasn't right whatever but it's you know you can only write for. many different people for just what many. times over your head if you like. the supposed white man who is. the point of rewriting well i do hope that more people. all i care bruce will be discussing it in greater detail. one of the major stars of n.b.c. has found itself out of work after a televised discussion about what is and what isn't acceptable to wear and how do we. 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 black yellow means or a black person to put a white face yellow we like that fact 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 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 to be a murderer and guess what not a lot of black fulfillments to. me what 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 call the whole lot over the sky and say what the hell born on over there you are full of all the planning for the whole war duty. 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 that that's the way n.b.c. and most american media does business liberalism first common sense way later. washington's national that's how the news is looking say foster day here don't forget they will go to websites plenty of stories on that and you can find that and . so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy isn't foundation let it be an arms race in this on off and spearing dramatic development only personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be

successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. fracking 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 good truck so i chose to drive truck people rush to a small town in north dakota was an unemployment rate of zero percent like the gold rush is very very similar to a gold rush but this beautiful story ended with pollution and the bus station a lot of people have left here i don't know too many people here and just slow down so much they lost their jobs that laid off the american dream is changing that's not what it used to be. it's a tough reality and you'll. join me every

thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to us from the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. right right was. not her last question or much. much too much for. seized this chill out one hundred yards for the night do you know where americans in america covering american news are called foreign agents yes the maze to me actually covering the death of a journalist at the hands of one of our allies as most of you know jamal khashoggi was brutally murdered murdered by saudi arabia while in turkey a few weeks ago and the mainstream corporate media has been all over it twenty four

seven when i saw the mainstream media doing the right thing covering this murder i was excited i was thrilled i was like what exactly is going on here i. see a lot of corporate media cover important news is like catching a shark reading a book you know i think i'm missing something. so why are they doing it is it because because jodi was a journalist so our pinheaded media hacks were finally able to see past their endless defense of saudi arabia and reveal the truth no stop. stop it. if that were the case they would have extensively covered the and the intentional murder of palestinian journalists a few months ago in gaza where they were wearing press across their chest and were still shot by snipers but let's not jump to conclusions that maybe the snipers thought that meant their shirts had been pressed at the dry cleaner and they didn't

like the left the sticker on there and the snipers shot them because they were like they claim the gazans are struggling but clearly they are dry clean ag dr levi. and if our mainstream media cared about journalists they would have extensively covered the police shooting of reporter erin schroeder in standing rock where while on camera she was intentionally shot with rubber bullets they would have covered the arrest of journalists at the g. twenty protests or at occupy wall street they would be standing up for journalist giuliana sons and they would have covered the time can janson was severely beaten by our secret service all right. when the life of an eleven year old detective is just rough it is. what she got to keep work and she has five kids in a drug habit to pay for the film. and i'm not saying you can't find one mainstream story on some of those things i mentioned but none of them got

a tiny fraction of the twenty four seven because josie treatment so why is the media doing this is it that they really have it in for you know saudi arabia they want to make them look bad now if that were the case they would have covered and any of the countless horrific acts by saudi arabia a country that publicly behead people. crimes like being gay is fairness and accuracy in reporting made clear the mainstream media hardly mentions the saudi perpetrated genocide in yemen supported by the you would hear us they hardly talk about our massive weapons deals which trump was so proud of you made his little crayon poster up. ok we just interrupted our programs there because the needs of russia turkey france and germany are now addressing the press following their summit in istanbul they have been working on finding a solution to the syrian conflict so let's listen to what they have to say. and.

the special envoy for syria to the united nations.
