yes i did me. so. i. believe as of to show germany and france get together in an attempt to move the syrian peace process forward. the discussion. multiple. police in a shooting at a synagogue in the u.s. state pennsylvania gunman has now been detained. and the european court of human rights throws out an appeal which sought to use the freedom of speech to defame

mohammad put the issue of the. should have free speech and he goes as far as saying in some instances mohammad was afraid he would become of the people to use and abuse to become racist demonize a group of people. whether welcome to all of these national laws. tonight thanks so much for joining us program. now it's been a significant day for syria as for key players with differing views russia turkey germany and france have my famous tumble for the first time in an attempt to move along a peace settlement for the conflict. the

sides discussed plenty of issues including constitutional reform and elections humanitarian aid to the worst hit regions as well as the ongoing refugee crisis and the last remaining jarvis hot spot in the country italy province artie's is in istanbul. first of all even though we are in november the foreign leaders hope that a committee to draft this serious new constitution will be before before the end of this year here's another one of the heads of state to discuss the personal favor of syria's president bashar haul assad and now besides this nobody is questioning the right of the syrian people to decide who is going to be in charge of the country next time plus whatever it wants to start firing guns need syria's if problems with remains an area that could explode at any time parts must not forget about it and this is the part where things really get tricky damascus once the province under

its control and obviously it is allied with russia however currently this place remains the last stronghold of the syrian opposition which is backed by turkey and pretty much the rest of the western world obviously that includes france and germany as well and it is still a place where the former news for terrorists and other affiliated groups are still active now all the members of the quartet are saying that the terrorists must be out of their ass to who is more likely to be behind a possible escalation in the province and the consequences as well this is where the sides not only don't see why this is where they're making some rather aggressive warty as the first one came from the russian president vladimir putin and i shoot to him studio because to be greeks picked turkey to shortly complete

his withdrawal of opposition forces heavy weaponry and military units from the demilitarized zone we see that out techies partners are doing their best to achieve that however if radical militants oppose this if they make the case instrument. signed the it lives own but russia will reserve the right to help the syrian government eliminate this threat. in just a couple of minutes emmanuel macron who was sitting pretty much one metre away from a lot of approaching punched back with this military offensive by the syrian regime and its backers would have an acceptable security and humanitarian consequences i was security interests as well as those of turkey and europe are at stake however for now russia and turkey who are backing opposing sides in were able to sign a so-called level read them of understanding this is something paris and berlin are counting on to the memorandum could be this magic element which is keeping the

whole alive or the removal of jihad is from live and also the continued existence of the demilitarized zone in this is the kind of zone which is patrolled by the military police of russia and turkey without terrorists and without heavy weaponry i just want to point out that all four leaders said that they were looking forward to another summit like this to happen in the near future and also they are open for some of the other international players to be involved in these kind of talks. or to get inside i'm joined live by peter ford former you can master to syria and bahrain thanks for joining us peter good to have you on the program today obviously some steps forward in this summit some common ground equally though looking at the the body language and some of the rhetoric. also

a lot of tension and a lot of issues too to go over what do you think about the results of this summit and of that press conference. well expectations for substantiative result. and in that fans the meeting lived down to expectations you look at the statement and there's almost nothing concrete in it but the real significance of this meeting is that it was held at all and in this format of russia and turkey who have been partners in the labor agreement. on the one side as it were and france and germany coming together for the first time in this format without the u.s. or the u.k. that is the real significance here as much for those who attended as those who were

excluded now i think the really important thing is that the as a result of the neat thing russia and turkey have drawn closer together i say that partly because no one said that the vision form a future of the weighbridge over over the years but he said that the future of syria would have to be decided by the syrian people alone so he has come off with position that it has no future leader of syria. and to not crone well he went there as the messenger boy of trump he made it known that he'd had a conversation with trump before going through with meeting i guess he had to kind of apologize for going to a meeting from which his master was excluded anyway he went as the messenger boy trump and faithfully parroted the american line that

it lives. remain a safe haven for. the syrian government and the russians and this not make any move to stop their. story. was also parroting the u.s. position but the very fact that she and my crony attended does give us some hopes for the longer term that they will participate in the recovery of syria once key and russia have settled issue here indeed getting those leaders around the table is quite a step forward one thing i did notice all four leaders now say they are committed to the sovereignty to the territorial integrity of syria in particular referring to the syrian government to that constitutional committee which is going to be formed a court at the end of the year by the end of the year according to mrs merkel what

about regime change though because that's been a stumbling block for years hasn't it getting outside out that was a non-negotiable position by the west does this mean that is now off the cards and they will accept a government with its help. some extend this playing with words the conditions that the european powers put imply regime change when they say that they want elections including voting by the all the millions of refugees. that that would very likely translate into an electoral defeat for them therefore regime change. but we are very far away from any thought should elections if they ever take place no i think what they were agreeing with simply on the lowest common

denominator all four find it relatively easy to agree in principle to the indivisibility the syrian territory even turkey which today facto in control of a probably includes syria. plus a strip to the north even turkey can pay lip service to to that. does regards the constitutional committee well this is for the gallery frankly the fight in libya and no one seems to care about what they want but the fight to the are not interested in tinkering with the syrian constitution they want an islamic state sharia law and all all the rest. i want to expound on that topic because obviously there are still concerns certainly from the west that a military offensive is possible possible mr putin reiterated he reserve the right

to act if there's a provocation as did micron before we reach any sort of political negotiation that will be a thorn in the side do you think that is a big risk that that will develop into a ground offensive and a further flow of refugees from syria into turkey. you know on. the tenuous cease fire is likely to hold it's not an official by the way no where in the labor agreement they. should be a cease fire but there is an agreement on the militarization of the border strip. ok peter ford former you can master to syria bahrain thanks for your insight today into that summit in istanbul. over to the u.s. now where there's been a shooting at a synagogue in pittsboro in the state of pennsylvania the gunman has been identified as forty six year old robert bowers he's in custody police confirm there

have been multiple fatalities with four officers also wounded witnesses said the shooter walked into the synagogue during a morning service and opened fire. the suspect in the shooting is in custody we have multiple casualties inside the synagogue we have three officers who have been shot and at this time 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. a lot have been a differing unconfirmed reports over casualty numbers so far with claims of up to seven people killed as well as they arrived on scene the attack happened in what is traditionally the busiest day of the week for synagogues the tree of life synagogue was founded more than a hundred fifty years ago it was merged with another pittsburgh congregation back in twenty ten holes a number of events in the community including religious ceremonies and book clubs.

speaking to the media a president trump said the crime should be punished at the highest level with the death penalty. the one thing we did. was that. they should wait. everybody. and i think. every. getting ready. to hear the former president of the synagogue involved has also been speaking to the media at the scene of the attack started i was getting dressed to go up to services little before ten o'clock and one of the people the vice president that i work with on facility management he had called me from lancaster and he said there's a reporter just 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. and she went on labor rights lawyer dan kovalchuk was at the scene for us with the latest there's people gathered all around here. a lot of people in mourning a lot of parishioners with their heads in their hands people just trying to figure out what has happened here you know it's a very somber situation this is a bedroom community here in pittsburgh and this we don't see these things happen very often there's a number of synagogues here in squirrel hill this is a very strong jewish community here still in lockdown it's very hard to get in and out of school till this point and i never seen this many police in one place in pittsburgh i mean it's really a very tense situation very set people were very sad. this is the latest mice shooting at the religious site in the u.s. in recent years two similar attacks claimed the lives of thirty five people.

and there's anger in the u.k. over cools for one of its leading in of us cities three move a walled will one memorial because it only features white men will delve into that controversy but offer the short break. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy for him to

let it be an arms race off and spearing dramatic development only personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful it's very critical time to sit down and talk. what politicians do something. they put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president or injury. or somehow want to. integrate the press that's what the four three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters about how. this should. be.

back to r.t. the european court of human rights has ruled defaming the prophet mohammed does fall outside the limits of acceptable free speech judges rejected an appeal 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 e s 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 for defaming religious doctrines and a fine of nearly five hundred euros her appeal on the grounds of free speech had

also been rejected by the austrian courts here in r.t. we put the issue up for debate. this is about faith of course muslims don't like that their prophet muhammad is being criticized but it should be in this instance you know 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 this a done 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 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 in it 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 towards muslims they are welcome in

europe but they must remain end of private sphere look muslims will come in europe that is the. 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 they're all stricken people who are all syrian and they've been austrian since two thousand of the year nineteen over our six thousand muslims in oriya so what they 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 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 a hundred year old memorial that was oring soldiers who fought in the first world

war he is an essential can a follow up on 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 had 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 is idiotic is 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 and 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 when 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 i narrated you were writing. and you were writing is sorry you're literally blaming these people died for your country 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 was a right ever but it's not you can only write for. many different people for just one of many so dark times over your head if you feel like it was supposed to white man it was for. the point of rewrite i do hope that more people. on campus we'll be discussing it in greater depth. once the news went on for this
