6:06 pm
open for some of the other international players to be involved in these kind of talks were asked former you can master to syria and bahrain for his thoughts on whether the talks would prove fruitful. the 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 ad lib agreement. on the one side as it were and france and germany coming together for the first time in this format was there also a parroting the u.s. position but the very fact that she and my crone attend it does give us some hope for the longer term that they will participate in the recovery of syria once key and russia have settled issue as a result of the neat thing russia and turkey have drawn closer together the one

6:10 pm
to the party. temple you're a 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 a 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 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 to the building and it was entirely blocked off. human rights and labor a slow down chaotic was at the scene of the attack for us with the latest updates. 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

6:12 pm
also in headlines the european court of human rights has ruled defaming the prophet mohammed fools 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 whited 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 so the legitimate aim of preserving religious peace in austria. the woman identified only as held to seminars back in two thousand and nine called basic information on islam she allegedly 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 out a fine of nearly five hundred euros her appeal on the grounds of free speech had earlier also been rejected by the austrian course we put the story up for debate.
6:13 pm
this is about faith of course muslims don't like that their prophet muhammad is being criticized but he should be in this instance and all 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
6:14 pm
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 we cannot allow people to use and abuse that to become racist demonize a group of people and 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 the
6:15 pm
. 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 we'll come off course or will come they're all stricken people who are all syrian and they've been austrian since two thousand nine hundred sixty eight thousand muslims in all areas so one don't need to say that they don't need you to welcome 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 that coming up shortly there's anger and the u.k. over calls for one of its leading in of us these to remove a wall one memorial because of any features white man will help us korea right after this short break.
6:16 pm
what. he put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president and you. want to be rich. to going to be pros which is what the three of them all can't be good. i'm interested in the water . the thing about saudi arabia is they the oil as a weapon and 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 a 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
6:17 pm
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 watch the international i'm pretty sure university has found itself at the center of a stole my student union the president called for the removal of one hundred year old memorial which was going soldiers who fought in the first world war. has this report. 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 we had taken downs a mural white man in say eunice sen room even if i have to paint orient myself the
6:18 pm
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 rothenstein 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
6:19 pm
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 of the narrator as 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 be together they couldn't something real real and that's real i think
6:20 pm
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 whatever but if you're not you can only write for. many different people for just what many. times over your history to feel like. i suppose a 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 over the recent wave of possible moves targeting senior political figures officials identified says aside from his fingerprints and d.n.a. on one of the envelopes the allegedly sent it's since been revealed 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
6:21 pm
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 in the fifty six year old florida resident and 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 records previously convicted eight times including for call theft if i'm guilty of the attempted possible bombings he could face up to fifty eight years in jail president trump in turn has condemned the incident will prosecute them him her whoever it may be to the fullest i stead of the law. we must never allow political violence to take root in america cannot. and i'm committed to doing everything in
6:22 pm
my power as president to stop it. the attempted bombings highlights 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 worsen a vast majority of those queries say they are dissatisfied with the u.s. politics and political activist christian one set of believes 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
6:23 pm
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. before the latest information that came to light some media initially suggested 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 designed to do what's happening now. a recent poll that was showing that more people doubt the mainstream media's coverage of russia caleb walked into the streets to find out exactly what people think. 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
6:24 pm
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
6:25 pm
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 selling weaves on instagram. maybe it could be true it's also its own street but let's hear the kremlin backed trolls use stars like emma watson to spread discord in the west. really that sounds . more real sound real to the russian bots promote guns after florida school shooting. yes that sounds to 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 is not a true headline trick question they're all headlines are all real and what do you
6:26 pm
make of. that's crazy you tricked me i can't believe the real headlines that doesn't mean they're real that out of control hook that the media is a little hysterical want to talk about this stuff yes i think so clearly according to those headlines i think so it could try to get a reaction out is not the raiders they're just trying to you know stir up some sort of. breeze storm 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. that i was run down over from la to myself i had all to you thanks for joining us my quoting me carol be here guarding you through the night's top level headlines.
6:28 pm
have you come up with a lot of statements saying that the arab states of the gulf should take care of the middle east or other we're still committed to the middle east so there's there's a lot of incoherence there but i think saudi arabia is hugely important to the united states and i think something that stands that and this is this is exactly what was driving his kind of commentary on the. killing i think that's the end of the day it's not going to change the status quo of america because of you. thank you thank you very much. much too much for today she's just chill out block under attack for the night to younger americans in america covering american
6:29 pm
news are called foreign agents yes the maze free media is 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 maser media doing the right thing covering this murder i was excited i was thrilled i was like what exactly is going on here. seeing our 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 doubt no doubt stop and stuff stop stop it. if that were the case they would have extensively covered the
6:30 pm
in 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 have been pressed at the dry cleaner and they didn't like alas 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 to drive the doctor. 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 arrests of journalists at the g. twenty protests or at occupy wall street they would be standing up for journalist giuliana sometimes and they would have covered the time.
