already counted for just twelve euros fifty per month. the leaders of russia turkey germany and france get together to kick start serious peace process but serious differences remain over how to tackle extremist groups in the northwest of the water one country. if radical militants opposed this if they make a sions from inside the it. will reserve the right to help the syrian government eliminate the military offensive by the syrian regime and its backers. would have

an acceptable security and humanitarian consequence. also this hour multiple deaths are confirmed by police in a shooting at a synagogue in the u.s. state of pennsylvania the gunman has since been detained. and the european court of human rights throws out an appeal which sought to use the freedom of speech to defame the prophet mohammed and put the issue up for debate. we should have free speech and it goes as far as saying. it was wrong with me come up a lot of people to use and abuse to become racist demonize a group of. international life with me. thanks so much for joining us on the program. it's been

a significant day for syria us four key players with very different views russia turkey germany and france have met for the first time in an attempt to move along a peace settlement for the conflict. i. i. in the sides discussed issues including constitutional reform free elections humanitarian aid and also the extremist factions entrenched in italy province. has more now on the talks. but first of all even though we are in november the foreign leaders hope that a committee to draft this syria new constitution will be even more before the end of this year here's another one of the heads of state visit to discuss the personal favor of syria's president barbara starr haul assad and now besides this nobody is

flushing the rights 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 god this need serious problem with from aids in the area it 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 armed 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 too 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 is the first one came from the russian president vladimir putin and i should. be greeks picked turkey to shortly complete his withdrawal of opposition forces heavy weaponry and military units from the demilitarized zone we see the dow techies partners to doing their best to achieve that however if radical militants oppose this if they make the case ins for. inside the it live zone 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 our poking 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 the war able to side a so-called little red 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 for the removal of jihad is from and also the continued existence of the demilitarized zone in that 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. to the u.s. now where there's been a shooting at a synagogue in pittsburgh in the state of pennsylvania the shooter who's in custody has been identified as forty six year old robert bowers he was said to have had multiple guns police have confirmed eleven people were killed six others were injured including police officers witnesses said the shooter walked into the synagogue during a morning service and opened fire. there were eleven chatel is served as a result of the shooting incident there were no children there were additionally six injuries to include four of the police officers the police who were injured in the attack was shots as they arrived on scene the incident happened on what is traditionally the busiest day of the week for such places of worship and three of last synagogue was founded more than one hundred fifty years ago it merged with another pitts proclamation back in twenty ten and holds a number of events in the community including religious ceremonies and book clubs

and speaking to the media 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 wake. everybody. down. and i think. that. i think. that the beauty of the. temple here. the former president of the synagogue involved has also been speaking to the media at the site 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 report that there's 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. a human rights and labor rights law done 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 build this point and i never seen this many police in one place in pittsburgh i mean it's really a very tense situation very sad people were very sad. this is the latest mass

shooting attack here when i just cited mountain states in recent years two similar attacks claimed the lives of thirty five people. hear a pin court of human rights has ruled defaming the prophet mohammed fulls outside the limits of acceptable speech judges rejected an appeal 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 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 he held to seminars back in two thousand and nine called basic information on islam she reportedly used the classes to counter tries 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 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 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 mom it 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 to become. racists demonize a group of people and then make them into others and there is no cure and this value and then promote fascism come on come on anti semitism is

racism clearly but islamophobia is against a religion and i will call moderate sorry not sort of even that is my motto 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 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 goodbye and saying look what you mean no you're you're you're just saying we'll come off course there will come there are all stricken people who are all syrian and they've been austrian since two thousand of these are nineteen of the us excited though none of them i didn't already so want don't need 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 and another one for all of it. in the u.k. overcalls for one of its leading universities through move a world war one memorial because if you choose white man will delve into that controversy right after the short break. when lawmakers manufactured them sentenced to public will. when the ruling clauses protect them so. would the flaming. lips be the woman. with no middle of the

room sick. i mean real news is. the thing about saudi arabia is they is the oil as a weapon and if they get too close to investigating what's going on over there they push the price of oil up now on the last ten years because of fracking in america america position to stop us energy independent and no longer subject to the political pressures that can be borne upon them from opec and the saudis so we're going to see a real test of this because. all of the litany of horrors coming out of saudi arabia is making people feel. welcome back to the program a british university has found itself at the center of

a storm off to student union president called for the removal of one hundred year old woman moral which was honoring soldiers who fought in the first world war on us to see it should has the details. 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 the eunice senator room even if i have to paint or eat 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 mural 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 who were i. 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'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. think they couldn't something real real and that's real i think history is something we kind of have to accept it rewriting it is not the right way that's denying i history i can accept that it's happened and maybe it was a 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 every right i do hope that more people. on

campus will be discussing it in greater depth. the u.s. justice department has charged a man over the recent wave of possible bombings targeting senior political figures officials identified says assad york from his fingerprints and d.n.a. on one of the envelopes he allegedly sent it says it's been revealed he had a number of previous convictions the media's 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 caesar holding a 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 in today was arrested and charged with sending a series of explosive devices fifty six year old is indeed known to be a trump supporter and one with

a substantial criminal record previously convicted eight times including for car theft if guilty of the attempted possible 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 followers i extend 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. the attempted bombings highlight how polarized the u.s. has become a new poll shows eighty percent of americans think their country is greatly divided forty percent of those also believe the situation will only get worse the vast majority of those quits say they're dissatisfied with u.s. politics lawyer and political activist christian months i don't believe 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 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 you a few months ago when he attack a congressman's colleagues so i think that we have to be very careful because this is becoming a real problem out. of some in the media initially suggested russia might be behind the possible bombs in a bid to inflame the current political divisions. i have this fear that it could be some russian operation to be designed to do what's happening now however recent polls are showing more people doubt the mainstream media's coverage of russia. has

this report. 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 ice 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 room. russian bots selling weaves on instagram. play god maybe i could be real that's also its own state the woods or the other kremlin backed trolls use stars like emma watson to spread discord in the west for

real that sounds more real than sound real d.m. the russian bots promote guns after florida school shooting. and yes true that sounds really does sound real hate for the last jet i was actually spread by russian troll. fake i don't think now is real i think the last said i is not a true headline trick question there all the headlines are all real and what you make of it. it's crazy you tricked me i could believe the real headlines that doesn't mean they're real that out of control i 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 good to try to get a reaction out of not a raider of the left they're just trying to you know stir up some sort of. praise 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 to come on top was told there must be what you call teams a national stay tuned for more bloated updates just in around thirty five minutes time. and. maybe. i know.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race is often spearing dramatic development only closely i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical. to sit down and talk. truong has been coming up with a lot of statements seem to be states of the go 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 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 of america's polls and you so if you go.

i will prefer to say. the human space this must be come into it terry wish me instead we have leaving in the solar system. and for sure we show the fans on the other. all this all the solar system i see this way all bringing them developing more technologists new technology so that we can even learn. increase. in improve the quality of life on earth. damn afshin rattansi you watching going on the ground thirty two years to the day

of the big bang in the city of london arguably paving the way for one of britain's greatest ever financial crises coming up on the show one of the world's greatest political cartoonists carlos look to for the weather tomorrow will mean his country heading back in time to the days of nature nation backed dictatorship and death squads come up with interesting questions which was from a different angle from the way i see it and queen guitarist in astrophysics brian may on the one cold war has the feel good place race plus could pin huge selling of weapons to saudi arabia is fine according to u.k. pm theresa may at pm cues all this and more coming up in today's show but first to the week's headlines joining me now to go through some of the week's papers is broke out of all liberal democrat member of parliament member that pick lembit scottish women in solidarity today in glasgow lots of trade unionists mazing march and in time island disappearing in the pacific you want to talk about some being added gunny from soho the bearded guy and so let's look at this from the guardian

reports the socialists are coming white house sounds alarm at rise of the left what is the run up to the midterm elections of course after and he's finally running because engels often said he should well know i'm not sure he's running i think it's the dangers of if he did have launched from the white house diatribe about the dangers of socialism apparently there's a lasting specter from call marx the bearded man himself or bernie saunders not from soho and working mothers in sweden all in the same story and there's a new or logical thing about the white house council of economic advisers report oh yes two hundredth anniversary to eight hundred nine hundred twenty eighteen it's all in the still that's not the main figure out this is the main figure it's claimed that if medicare for all were financed through. oxes g.d.p. would fall by nine percent seven thousand dollars per year this report is on trump's desk at the moment he thinks that i didn't understand this they keep

looking to they seem to think that's gathered avers marxist they'd buy out if you mean exactly as and explain that let me read to you something which i actually found very confusing quote from the report on drugs show and rosen said and i quote it to you a launch fraction of women working in the public sector to take care of the children of other women who work in the public sector to care for the parents of the women who are looking after their children if swedish women take care of each other's parents in exchange for taking care of each other's children how much additional real output comes of it sure this really is marxism is not a normal were done so let's go from what's on trump's desk to real hard geopolitics oh yes this on a humdinger to use an american non-socialist phrase the times reports russia moves to block u.k. division for world trade raise of a destroyed by more russia gaining. against russia and nineteen other well trade organization countries the point here is that while they're focusing on russia it

just takes one beaten from one country in the world trade organization to bring the whole thing crashing down it is always two dozen countries but they just go russia moves all of gloss at russia because we're not at war with some of the other ones but we're almost all with russia because they're they're evil it's moscow so that's the new deal brics it in other words russia and these are the two dozen countries they will aim to stop and i should just add today is the day putin macro merkel heard it wonder it is bull to talk about syria no sign it to resume but russia anyway made bricks it according to facebook analytical and i'll let it go to another drop in it after another election arguably being influenced not by russia this time it gets worse well i'm not sure. the news reports thing is prince harry and meghan's fiji visit could influence the outcome of election which election not russia not britain the fiji election a former diplomat says that this could skew the result of a very if you're

a pretty authoritarian leader and suddenly you get this couple people in.
