subscribed to. him for just twelve euros fifty per month. following this week's elections president trump. the media blaming it for division in the u.s. also ahead on the program. in the german city of humber. has met with a heated counter protest just as a recent study finds a surge in opposition to multiculturalism growing support for work for its area and rule amongst germans don't agree with that at all and i hope that the majority doesn't just mean to me. because. i see the people.

in russia the countries investigative committee launches a probe after pictures of a convicted gang member living a largish life in prison are linked by. midday here in moscow this thursday afternoon welcome to r.t. international my names mean and only then we will get to those headlines stories in first a moment but first breaking news from california police there are responding to a shooting out a restaurant in thought and folks there are reports of multiple injuries on the borderline bar and grill on calls to police started coming into ronda quarter past eleven pm local time these are live pictures now from the city of thoughts and folks let's just take

a look at where we are talking about this is the area. it's around thirty minutes drive away from central los angeles just northwest of l.a. now what we believe happened deputies responded to reports of a gunman firing a semi automatic weapon at least one police officer has been injured the gunman is thought of as we're looking at here live pictures from outside a building or a hard as well there's a sizable police presence there still to be active who is seeing yet. what forty fifty kilometers west of los angeles noakes it was in fact the fourth safest city among those with a population of over one hundred thousand by the f.b.i. and reports are coming in that some thirty shots were fired and police tried to hide in bathrooms borderline bar and grill as the gunman stormed the building and detonated

a smoke bomb off the time there had been some kind of college party going on for a nearby university some victims have been seeing fleeing trying to get medical assistance as well as we say this is this is a wealthy area. beautiful horses in the region although last month a similar incident occurred when police shot dead an octave shooter as well so. you can kind of that that's why the police presence is so large here trying to clamp down on incidents like this on still as we're seeing here an active shooter going on up the moment a person with a gun has left the bar and restaurant believed to be holed up in a building a heist of some sort these are pictures from a police helicopter in the area ok throughout the hour we will be returning to this story and giving you the very latest on this octave situation from california.

once again the media blaming it for division within the united states the u.s. congress is not a split between america's two major parties but the democrats seizing the house of representatives and republicans keeping the senate. isn't good what the media is doing and that i do have the right to fight back on the campaign trail you called yourself a nationalist some people saw that as emboldening white nationalist that situation is to question i would never do that and i don't use race and as you march. in america it's people like this that cause division one of the statements that you made in the killing of the campaign there we go honestly i think you should let me run the country you run c.n.n. and if you did it well. that's an ask one of the other folks that said. that's enough was president the other folks that said. you are

a rude terrible person. mr president in peter good in jim's defense i traveled with him and watched him as a diligent reporter. of yours either so i understand to be honest about it yeah an action packed media conference well the overall picture here many have been terms a referendum on trump's presidency it seems he's passed the test with the republicans retaining their senate majority and expanding just what that means though here scale up like. so which party won the epic midterm battle for control of the u.s. congress well if you listen to both sides they both won and last night the republican party defied history to expand our senate majority it's about restoring the constitution's checks and balances to the champ and i fancy pelosi has got plenty of reason to be happy she just got her job back as speaker of the

house the first time the demo. kratz have had a majority in the house of representatives in eight years they can now launch an investigation spree into donald trump and block all kinds of legislation but you would think they would have won a bigger blowout after all they are running against the new hitler who happens to also be a russian spy you can go for nationalism and you can go for anger visit ahead learn the same type of propaganda day you would have seen in germany in one thousand and thirty eight these comparisons to trump it's like. the trump will be outmatched by putin and i have never seen an american president simply surrender to the leader of russia we call it soccer now the donald is far from a media darling lots of media criticism and pressure and his losses weren't so bad when compared to his recent predecessors he not only maintained control of the senate but the republicans actually picked up a few seats so do lots of americans just like hitler and russian spies well perhaps

they were just watching a different channel twenty seventeen was a very successful first year for president trump unlike obama business confidence is now soaring under president trump in fact the news is so good so the vote was described as a referendum on the donald so what's the verdict well the voters seem to have stayed within one of two echo chambers there is one echo chamber that loves the donald and the other that hates him the country is divided and now congress along with it definitely be us media and the political parties have definitely created more divisiveness and more friction between. between the parties as well as within the we can move society itself and i think the media is largely to blame there are . sometimes leaking information that should not be leaked sometimes. twisting the story a different way than it shouldn't be too it's good to know because sometimes just

falsely claiming some. that's not correct in memphis instantiated but i think. we media and also elements within the government better actually reading within the u.s. government that are actually creating more of an. atmosphere within the population . to more world news now over five thousand victims of war how been treated so far this year alone in hospitals run by a u.n. humanitarian organization in afghanistan a third were children the organization called emergency has been active in the country since one thousand nine hundred ninety and say the violence there is relentless well moscow is preparing to get the warring parties together for negotiations playing host to afghan peace talks tomorrow friday a dozen countries are invited on the taleban is also sending a delegation that will mark the first time the militant group has taken part in this kind of high level meeting after almost two decades of war in afghanistan but

. reports not everyone has welcomed the talks. by any measure the afghan war has dragged on for too long too many people the dead too little achieved too much hatred bred why don't try something new this is a very good opportunity and we would like to participate and raise our genuine issues we would urge these world powers to help resolve the afghan issue as per international laws and principles the afghan high peace council will send four delegates the taliban five reportedly representatives of a dozen nations have also been invited and it couldn't have happened soon enough. on just one day the twentieth of october journeying elections three hundred and eighty eight civilians were. plethora of attacks so no wonder that even

nato is calling for peace the taller from must understand that to continue to fight is pointless they must sit down on the negotiating table the potential for peace is creating our own interest being in many years unless of course peace is made in moscow in which case the u.s. won't support it america is skipping the moscow peace summit saying washington only supports afghan led efforts but it will send an observer the united states believes that all countries should support direct dialogue between the government of afghanistan and the taliban to reach it and to the war and. we've been clear that no government clued in russia can be a substitute for the afghan government interact negotiations with the taliban wave

which never stopped the u.s. special envoy from meeting taliban officials in cata last month for direct negotiations i think the more countries that approach the afghan government and the taleban and all the warring parties and say let's talk let's have peace rather than war that's a very logical thing for most people and for most countries i just don't think in the united states the united states at this particular time wants to see it also the military industrial complex in the united states is a very very big part of the us economy the guns and the planes and the ships and the bombs that they use and sell all around the world support a lot of jobs in the united states i don't think that the war is in general or going to end if they can do some maneuver to make

a better situation for the united states in afghanistan they are probably talking about that and would like to see that seventeen years of war and terror is nato sold that countless thousands dead on each every side generations thread and misery and violence drunken hatred and the heroin finally the taliban agrees to open talks it's a huge deal ed the u.s. possums war it seems is preferable to peace that comes with russian help. riot police being deployed in the german city of hamburg where hundreds of protesters have rallied for and against the uncle of merkel's migrant policies right wing groups called a rally to the nines merkel's open door policy. which has seen over a million people pour into the country since the height of the migraine crisis and twenty fifty they were met with contra demonstrators who attempted to block their

arrival at a railway station leading to a heated standoff with police many germans have been calling to step down for her role as chancellor as early as next year now that's in response to a saying she will continue to the end of her term in twenty twenty one merkel won't be seeking reelection after a series of disastrous results for her party in regional elections and now a growing number of germans say they'd prefer a more authoritarian leader europe correspondent peter all of her husband. new polling into the political leanings of germans has raised more than a few eyebrows eighty percent of those polled said they favored dictatorship is the ruling form for the country with eleven percent saying they would side with strong leadership there i spoke to people on the streets of berlin they were shocked that anyone here would hold those type of ideas. it's terrible we have been through that in history would you why thinking about those you know this is our past this is our

past it cannot be allowed to become our future i don't agree with that at all and i hope that the majority doesn't this is this is our schmidt's i painted this in one thousand nine hundred sixty two. this has been present in germans for a long time this is just a consequence of that it doesn't surprise me because because. i see the people particularly well i think there's everyone's personal choice maybe due to the refugee crosses lately that may have impacted some people's opinions the government has to make something so that the country is led into a better better place and not into a worse place than it is already. something a little different or brush an awfully without any arms has taken gold in his category at the european try a full on championships in spain and he's no spring chicken either he's fifty five

good to get. this at the surface feel to them we've seen it all myself. ok the latest from the pictures you're just seeing in the corner of your screen the shooting in california we're back with out in ninety seconds time stay with us. i think it's important to do something that you're passionate about and even though you know you may not think you can do that and i didn't think there was any chance of me becoming an astronaut but i really that's what i was passionate about and i wanted to at least try to sort of lease if you try whatever it is you're interested in in general for people if you have that passion if you have something you think

is really interesting but you think it might not be possible that doesn't matter just discover to try and you never know where you might end up. you know world a big part of. a lot of things and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that made stream media refuses to tell more than we need to be smart we need to stop slamming the door on the back and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now we're watching closely watching the hawks. you're welcome back let's return to our breaking news from california where police

are responding to a mass shooting at a restaurant in the city of. opes at least six people have been injured in the borderline bar and grill including a deputy sheriff. doorman you're looking now at live helicopter at. sure there's a police copter in the area which has been by for the past hour hour and a half or so since we first reported this calls to police started coming in at around eleven fifteen pm local time it starts around two hours ago deputies responded to reports of a gunman firing a semi automatic weapon i'm not gunman you're seeing here is to still be active let's take a look at where this is all on folding a thousand oaks is around sixty kilometers west northwest of los angeles it was right one of the safest cities in the u.s. among those with a population of over one hundred thousand by the f b i was terrified customers

head on the tables and bathrooms during the shooting in what was a college night for local university students a lot of lines coming in on this on verified we have to say but user from witnesses stating that the gunman fired some thirty shots detonated smoke bombs also hearing from another witness to be a.b.c. news channel that the gunman had a beard wore a hot shot a black jacket and may have had glasses from all the reports it does seem to be a solitary a lone wolf at talk at the moment and one person acting on their own but that's what we're waiting on these pictures just to and we can have a better picture as to what is happening now in a don time area of thousand oaks were as we say a police officer in a dorm and was injured in a shooting a bar we will of course be keeping a very close eye on things on this developing story here on our team international

again these are live pictures from that city that soft light city of los angeles just north of l.a. . ok let's turn tension now to russia because the country has launched a probe after pictures of a convicted gang. member eating luxury food in prison were leaked online he's an unfairness gangster and weaves jail for participating in a brutal mass murder in southern russia it years ago and we've got the story now with a course that both. there can be few things more wretched than mass murdering people including children in cold blood this man was part of a gang that did it all on an adventure night eight years ago and then feasting on crab and caviar and throwing barbecue parties while in prison bitches love to pervert is one of the most new tourists russian criminals and he's serving

a twenty year sentence. for service you're going to be committing dozens of felonies and extremely serious crimes inclusion of school for more than ten years. to build your future that nobody. will support and should be of service to new. the photos of his not very prison lee lifestyle that recently emerged are causing shock the mobster's law it claims it's all photoshop so no reason for anger but officials confirm the pictures are real across the board outrage forced russia's federal prison service to comment on the photos that though its reaction has been far more reserved than the sweeping public indignation. can you see it might be

hard to avoid corruption in remote areas especially for a criminal who teams up with officials is insanely rich in the wake of the investigation civil prison employees have been disciplined it's not exactly clear why and how the pictures became public but one of the. jand says that the mobsters ex-wife had something to do with it the convicted murderer is apparently in a land dispute with her yes while still in prison technically it cost up to fifty thousand dollars a year to support my ex husband's life in prison i transferred him the money there he had an intermediary who helped him buy food and find a dentist and he paid well for that he also asked for money for a b. garden that he set up in prison the national investigative committee has launched a probe overt so on looking into how on earth a mass murderer has been able to go which is way through his prison term not least

because he is not the only bandit with money and power in russian prisons. ok just before we go to break let's get a reminder of our breaking news story from california in the city of thousand oaks the region just north west of los angeles these are at the latest pictures we have you're looking police in this region on the search on the hunt for what's believed to be an active shooter who shot a police officer a door. that's the latest we have on the line from that restaurant in thousand oaks police out in force as they were quite quickly after this occurred at a night for university students taking place in that bar and restaurant we just want to leave you with some of the latest pictures that we have from this region this active hunt for the person not active shooter as we say it's some injuries no

news yet of any fatalities thankfully but we will be of course following this story very throughout the hours here and our international do stay with us in fact coming up next on the program. the word space exploration and bridge that is mysterious galaxies ripe for discovery but increasingly the science the romance is being overshadowed by the price tag so what's the future hold as we head to the stars like an expert on the issue and she's next on a. pretty . weiss's terrorist.

hello and welcome to worlds apart space exploration something that humanity has long gotten used to taking for granted i stumbled into uncertainties here with all technologists played by and new ones still in development when we once again find ourselves grounded on planet earth to discuss that i'm now joined by mike massimino a former u.s. astronaut and professor off mechanical engineering at columbia university mike thank you very much for the time it's good to talk to my pleasure that you always sound very positive her book about the future of space exploration but given the functions on the russian side. the delays in the american side how confident are

you that the international space station will continue being inhabited for years to come. very confident i think that our russian friends and their space program have shown that they have a pretty good track record they've been launching so use for very low. pay they lost the rocket just this past month that was not a good thing but if they did it lose the crew and i think that one of the good things about their system is that you're able to separate the crew from the rocket that is having an issue the russian space agency was very quick to announce the loss of so use wrong it was due to what they said a full t. context which reportedly got banned during. the baikonur cosmodrome did you find that explanation plausible or you know i don't i really don't know much about that particular issue but i do have confidence from all the

years at nasa and working both with nasa and with our russian counterparts that they do the right thing. they work pretty well together or countries don't always agree on other things apparently and yet in one space program no detail gets bent during some way i mean it's not like you know they were cooking in the kitchen i mean i suppose that there should be so you might want to sever about it i mean i don't i don't i can't pass judgment on what went on there or how they have that problem but that i can say this that pretty confident i'm totally confident in our leadership at nasa and i know that they work well with the russian leadership and i think they're not going to let a crew go into space if there are still questions so i'm confident that they know what they're doing and so you rock at these a very reliable base yeah transport and yet i think many people in russia space and fees if the police a little bit uneasy about the fact that. is already planning next.
