favor of syria's president barbara starr hall assad and besides this nobody is flushing the rights of the syrian people to decide who is sold to be in charge of the country next plus whatever it wants to start firing guns need syria is it the problem with for trades in the area it could explode at any time hans must not forget about it and this is the part where things really get tricky damascus wants the province under its control and obviously it is allied with russia however currently this place remains the last stronghold of the syrian our proposition 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
7:04 pm
out of their ass to who is more likely to be behind a possible escalation in the it look 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 warnings the first one came from the russian president vladimir putin and i should go in studio because that i might be greeks pick turkey to shortly complete his withdrawal of opposition forces heavy weaponry and military units from the demilitarized zone we see that on turkish partners are doing their best to achieve that however if radical militants oppose this if they make the case ins from inside the it live zone but russia will reserve the right to help the syrian government eliminate this threat. and just a couple of minutes emmanuel macron who was sitting pretty much one meter away from latimer poking punched back with this
7:05 pm
a military offensive by the syrian regime and its backers would have an acceptable security and humanitarian consequences to our 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 war able to side a so-called level random 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 live 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
7:06 pm
they are open for some of the other international players to be involved in these kind of talks. on a lie so next despite the sticking points it seems that listen good chemistry between the latest. looking. forward to. we also former u.k. ambassador to syria and bahrain for his thoughts on whether the talks will prove
7:07 pm
fruitful. 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 agreement. on the one side as it were and france and germany coming together for the first time in this format was also parroting the u.s. position but the very fact that she and my crone attended does give us some hope for the longer they will participate in the recovery of syria once key and russia have settled issue as a result of the meeting russia and turkey have drawn closer together. and his position on the future of who has wavered over over the years but he said
7:08 pm
that the future of syria would have to be decided by the syrian people alone so he has come off to through the issue and that has no future leader. people in the us have confirmed police in the us have confirmed that eleven people were killed in a mass shooting at a synagogue in the state of pennsylvania on saturday a further six were injured the shooter who is in custody has been identified as forty six year old robert he said to have had multiple files on the atrocities took place during a morning service there were eleven fatalities as a result of the shooting incident. there were no children. who were injuries to include for the police officers. the police who were injured in the attack was sought out as they arrived on the scene the incident took place
7:09 pm
on what is traditionally the busiest day of the week force and i go the tree of life synagogue was founded more than one hundred fifty years ago and merged with another pittsburgh congregation in two thousand and ten it holds a number of events in the community including religious ceremonies and book clubs the u.s. attorney general jeff sessions has condemned the attack saying such hatred and violence have no place in american society he added that the justice department would file hate crime charges and that the shooter could face the death penalty president trump piles also said the perpetrator should be executed what is the one thing we. need to get. to the wait. for. everybody. and i think. if. we see every week if we
7:10 pm
believe anything. we. have here. well the former president of the synagogue that was attacked spoke to media at the scene 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 here 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 to the building and i was entirely blocked off. what he meant and labor rights lawyer 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
7:11 pm
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 and very sad people were very sad. and it's the latest i must say seeing at one i just cited the u.s. in recent history similar attacks came to the lives of thirty five people.
7:12 pm
the european court of human rights says rules defaming the prophet mohammad falls outside the limits of acceptable speech judges unanimously which extend the pill from an austrian woman who'd been seeking to overturn a conviction for insulting islam domestic calls comprehensively assessed the whited context of the applicant statements and carefully balanced have 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. two seminars back in two thousand and nine and titled basic information on islam she allegedly used the classes to characterize the prophet as a paedophile well that led to a conviction in two thousand and eleven for defaming religious doctrines and a fine of four four hundred eighty euros her appeal on the grounds of free speech
7:13 pm
earlier also being 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 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 them to 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
7:14 pm
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 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
7:15 pm
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 there. a racist thing to say you know these are people who are part and parcel of what 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 austrian and they've been austrian since two thousand of these are nineteen of the us excited thousand muslims in our area so one don't need say that they don't need you to work on them they belong to austria this is the 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 founded. so how come there is anger in the u.k. of a cause for one of its leading universities to remove a world war one memorial if used because it only features white men who delve into
7:16 pm
that story for you right after this 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 loosely i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. 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 position to stop us energy independent and no longer subject to the
7:17 pm
political pressures that could 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 but a british university has found itself at the center of a storm off to it student union president called for the removal of one hundred year old memorial honoring soldiers who fought in the first world war on a c h i can now has the details. here at the university of southampton a student union president has caused a lot of outrage after she demanded
7:18 pm
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 say eunice senate drome even if i have to paint orient 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
7:19 pm
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. 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
7:20 pm
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. think they couldn't see it's 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 whatever but it's you know you can only write for. many different people for just what many. times over your history defect. supposed white man it is for. the point a very wry one 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 bombs targeting senior political figures officials identified says all sales from his fingerprints and d.n.a.
7:21 pm
on one of the envelopes he allegedly sent it since being 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 bill this week to prominent democrats and apparently mad bomber has been targeting president trump's favorite targets for his invective caesar say are 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 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 coffee theft he found 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
7:22 pm
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 let it happen and i'm committed to doing everything in my power as president to stop it. the attempted bombings highlights how polarized the us has become a new poll shows that eighty percent of americans think their country is greatly divided forty percent of those also believe the situation will only worsen a vast majority of those quits say they are dissatisfied with u.s. politics lawyer and political activist christine months sarah believes their 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.
7:23 pm
and on social media because there are people who take it personally and then they do 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 have the democratic extreme left follower a few few months ago when here congressman scully so i think that we have to be very careful because this is becoming a real problem out. in the media initially suggested 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 down to the mainstream media's coverage of russia has more. 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
7:24 pm
topic mainstream media finds a way to bring russia into it russia harvested american rage to reshape you ask politics how the russians are trying to turn the tragedy to their advantage to target almost every major american social movement russian bot 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
7:25 pm
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 jetta star wars movie the great disturbance in the force says millions of voices suddenly cried out to the sun the sun so we decided to show these headlines to new yorkers let's see if they can spot the fake one our russian selling weaves on instagram. maybe it could be true but some say it sounds great but let's hear the other kremlin backed trolls use stars like emma watson to spread discord in the west. really that sounds . more real sound real day out. of the russian box for both guns after a florida school shooting. yet you got sounds free to sound real no
7:26 pm
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 they're all headlines those are all real and when you make it. oh ok that's crazy you tricked me i can't believe the real headlines that doesn't mean they're real out of control you 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 if you're trying to get a reaction out of. 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 caleb mop and artsy new york. about the latest of the top of the now see that.
7:27 pm
would hope to. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. some want to just. have to go to the press was like before three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the winds in the. first. trial has been coming up with a lot of statements saying that the arab states of the go should take care of the middle east or other we're still committed to the middle east so. there's a lot of incoherence there but i think saudi arabia is hugely important to the united states and i think companies stance that and this is this is exactly what
7:28 pm
was driving his kind of commentary on the. killing i think that's at the end of the day it's not going to change the status quo of america's policy because of you the . franking gave americans a lot of job opportunities i needed to come up here to make some money twenty five thousand dollars as a teacher or i could make fifty thousand dollars a year truck so i chose to drive truck people rushed to a small town in north dakota was an unemployment rate of zero percent like gold rush is very very similar. but this beautiful story ended with pollution and of a station a lot of people have left here i don't know too many people here and just slow down too much they lost their jobs got laid off the american dream is changing that's not what it used to be. and it's
7:29 pm
a tough reality to deal with. a lot of america has or this is a customer for us right it got the place right now time to get educated. says max we're going to talk about dead meat walking this is sears you and i have talked about this for many years because eddie lampert a hedge fund manager bought sears many years ago in need turned it into a hedge fund basically a private equity fund in which he extracted equity from sears for many years sears used to be one of the biggest manufacturer retail outlets in america perhaps the biggest for a while and now it is going to be no more dead meat walking why sirius will be
7:30 pm
liquidated bankruptcy can only restructure debts it cannot revive mutilated brands and bring back malt customers this follows the script of the brick and mortar meltdown of retailers that were bought by wall street and subsequently subjected to asset stripping and cost cutting which ruined what little was left of their brands mired down and survival mode those retailers failed to build a vibrant online presence and fulfillment infrastructure as sales withered and losses ravaged the company debts became unmanageable but the bankruptcy of sears holdings as just so much richer and the restructuring in bankruptcy has a zero chance of succeeding for you have a response to that i want to show you this chart this is the store count which is on track to zero from two thousand and eleven down down down oh and lampard there it is all sears kmart merger he was worth three to four billion dollars. jeff bezos at the time was worth approximately a billion dollars and.
