and another weekend of yellow vests rallies descends into violence and looting as protesters are greeted by a heavy police response. to the weekly here on r.t. international where we bring you the top stories from the past week. new zealand was rocked by terror on friday when a gunman killed fifty people at two mosques in the city of christ church dozens of others were injured a man has been charged with one count of murder in connection with the attack the suspect is thought to have posted a white supremacist manifesto online. sad

how bad. he. was. yes that was. not just the monument splashing money comes in oh my lord oh my god remember them enough it was fun believe me it was then but pretty distraught over the bad cause just as he is in seventh. the first reports of the shooting at the el norte mosque came up one forty pm local time minutes later reports came in of a second attack on a mosque five kilometers away the country's prime minister described what happened

as one of new zealand's darkest days are his body the question about reports. the deadliest terror attack a new zealand's history the attack was so brutal a video game. this is one of new zealand's darkest days. the gunman was a live streaming the attack from that had to mounted camera that atrocity lasted for almost twenty minutes the footage showed him firing from close range it was the

only after some time but the video has already spread far and wide social media giants phase book and twitter are now under a scrutiny for their failure to stop the extremists material or their facebook twitter you tube and other providers have taken action to remove the video and other propaganda related to the attack the government has been clear that old companies need to act more quickly to remove terrorist content there should be no safe spaces for terrorists to promote and share their extreme views and breaded lies others there were also pictures of the guns he posted on twitter the fi arms were called for it with anti islamic slogans and various languages his account has been blocked since then but what made this young australian kill all these people and cold. blood's a new zealand well he is sims to have plenty attack carefully at least that's according to the documents a sort of

a manifesto that appeared on line several hours prior to the attack and believed to be linked to the attacker in a lengthy document he identifies himself as a fascist and he carried out the attack to save all europeans from nonwhite invaders new zealand wasn't his first choice but it sure was his last enough to show that there are no safe places and the world we new zealand. we were not a target because we are a safe for those who hate. we were not chosen for the sake of violence because we can darn racism because we're an on clay for extremism. we would chosen for the very fact that we none of these things we discussed the terror attack with our guest political and social commentator and middle east expert. i think this shouldn't be that much of

a surprise that in fact this attack reminds me of the guitar which was carried out by the you know we jim brick who carried out a similar attack if you recall in norway against immigrants and also against the muslims one fortunately we do have this ferrari is. what we call white supremacy terrorism and that's why that i think is the correct or accurate name a more accurate description which we should give to you know this whole hateful ideology and it really we do need to drain the swamp and we do need to go off these people who allow these far right groups to in complicity grow and get funding and allow to spread who are the ones who support them where does the money go we need to follow the money we need to find out how these groups are allowed to thrive because it is a real problem now for more on the ramifications of what happened in new zealand head to our web site r.t. dot com.

now to the french capital where the latest yellow best rallies descended into vandalism and looting saturday's protest the eighteenth of its kind in consecutive weekends was met with a heavy police response it was at the center of the unrest. thank you thank you. thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you. the situation here on the cities is getting increasingly violent she demonstrators have been using cost foxholes they've been using firecrackers and they have also been destroying a number of buildings is a bank in

a side street that has burned down and a number of kiosks have also been completely destroyed and for that reason we have been ambulances coming in and out and also a number of fire brigades to come and put out the fire. thank god this is the eighteenth consecutive week at a speed chase here both are to cast is raby waiting continues and we've got the canisters that are being thrown at us at the same time with the protesters that are trying to block. at the at the uk to tear thank you. there does seem to be a full heavy police presence today but protesters saying that this is radii the ultimatum that they giving the crowd to step down.

the protests are getting more and more violent and thanks continue to people until they hear further by police just in front of us so we caught between the riot police and the protesters so. we're just going to move down a little butt. could cost in flames. but. thank the country's interior minister saying that they be there about one and a half thousand of these protesters who are here just to cause damage and just to cause violence so he these are the most violent scenes we've seen in paris in recent weeks but it's reminiscent of the chaos the frustration and the anger against president maccollins government. people are still out on the streets they feel has since early this morning and that's a cost bottle that's been thrown the scenes continue to unfold and this despite the

fact that the great debate which the french president mccrone initiated ended yesterday more than seventy percent of fringe saying that they believe that it is simply a waste of time the french president certainly will continue to struggle to contain this anger on the streets of paris. altie paris. the u.k. parliament again gridlock over brooks that with m.p.'s instructing the prime minister to stick a deadline extension from europe this sparked fears they broke that process will never end. it's just going all no no no no no every two weeks we come around on the merry go round we make the same speech all over again and i'm still right on our own hobbyhorses. we have a responsibility to end the of the certainty for all our constituents.

to be able to fully. trade deal. remains that the u.k. would be without a deal. this. last something else is a pretext this is the waste of time the place of all time for all change the deal is dead it cannot be resurrected he has bludgeoned does black and blue without breaking the food deal the country's be misled and now the plan has been mislaid.

a third so-called meaningful vote on teresa mayes brags that deal will take place next week if m.p.'s reject it she lost brussels for a long deadline extension potentially lasting years depending on the reaction back home that could trigger in china alexion or a second referendum but if m.p.'s past may still brussels for a shorter extension until june the thirtieth if no extension is granted or no deal is agreed and whatever time frame is adopted the u.k. could crash out of the bloc we've got reaction to the latest developments from our guests. the government have made the biggest mess in history the prime minister was utterly incompetent she should never have had the jobs you got there by accident and she just led from one catastrophe to the next she lied to the public when she

stood for office she said she was going to give them breaks and she's trying to do everything to prevent it if we end up having to stay beyond a certain period we have to take part in the european elections then what you're good to see is seventy three nodule for raj use returned to the. the european parliament you've got to ask yourself whether this is a complete and utter incompetence or whether there's a planned on that and i've always said we are really find out until the twenty ninth of march i think this is by is completely incompetent but if she's carrying out somebody else's plans it was quick time in the parliament and i can we have the squeaks from here across the river just what does britain do next ask for an extension how long one month two months what will change in the one month two months the e.u. i have already said there's no for those negotiations possible so it's likely that something dramatic has to be done to break this logjam and my money is now on

a general election more in the past weeks headline news coming up after the break. you know world of big part of. law and conspiracy it's time to wake up to be deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the 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. they chase it as because that's what happened as big comment that what you don is

staying in that case if you it gives it not doing itself one thing is to be leaving j.c. feel it even more. for you don because it gives. the odd there's even a voice. welcome back to the program human rights watch has released a damning report exposing torture and abuse of youngsters suspected of having links to islamic state in iraq the group says iraqi and kurdish authorities were to leave for suspects some of them as young as fourteen years old to confess using harsh methods the report features a number of first hand accounts. yeah you know sort of to show what to me and shot

i mean and so you know. there is nothing i do you know if you are. going to sit on my. own in the spring. in order to leave but you can reach a clear about. what is already a little boy. you know what mr odd job what i just saw just just. enough that decided to come out and. decided to write about try to much much better . than other viruses africa. and you know and there was still a better way that i don't know how to. do this to the betterment of. the report describes the kind of torture to which the detainees are allegedly subjected among the methods said to be used by kurdistan regional authorities or beatings with plastic pipes and electric cables as well as the use of electric shocks and stress positions. according to human rights watch at the end of last year iraqi and

kurdish authorities were holding some fifteen hundred children over their alleged affiliation with eisel at least one hundred and eighty five foreign children have been convicted on terrorism charges and sentenced to prison terms we heard from one of the people behind the report. iraqi authorities or no vote or abuse from the. kurdish there have charged hundreds of minors acts of terrorism because of their alleged presumed belonging to a islamic states these prosecutions very often rely on very you know dots for my positions because if they are based on confessions that were tortured out of the kids. those children are number one considered us combatants who are tried just as adults combatants and it is not fair that certain being the international law is very clear and considers that children who are

armed groups should be considered first and foremost i think those who need rehabilitation and reintegration into society rather than prison time and told. we recommended the government the iraqi government and purchase orders to immediately free all those kids who have not committed a crime as for those who are suspected of having committed crimes and other violent the direction well sure they should be tried but they should be tried accordingly to international rules and compelled to minors in all cases we recommend strongly that there is no practice of torture anymore and that investigations are open jewel hauled all the perpetrators accountable these are the recondition that we have addressed to the kurdish and the iraqi government and we are to expect to get answers. we're awaiting comment on the allegations from the iraqi government the country's counter-terrorism laws do provide for the detention and trial of anyone

involved with eisel that applies even if they have not committed violent crimes and only played support roles for example working as cooks or hospitals. serbian opposition protesters stormed a t.v. station in the capital on saturday they were met by heavy right police response. among the protesters were several opposition leaders including the head of the right wing very party they stormed the news room and demanded to speak live on air demonstrators were called on to a stadium from violence it insists on allowing the organist organizers of the protests to voice their views however instead they were driven from the building incident falls the ongoing one of five million protests which were triggered by an attack on an opposition leader in november of last year.

the globe to witness the launch of loading because that was spectacular as you remember their previous mission in october didn't go well it was aborted made flight due to technical problems and just minutes soft at the least all. but a sneak and alex a had to return to earth when things go wrong. this is where they were you think perhaps he'll pipe down some of the five hundred one of those from the long spread by going to work this way to would mean they've lost on populated length that a policy of cheating any pagan would lend it on harm i've been rudely given that the one with the fulfillment or isn't he believed to be found many times over than

the force of gravity while on the ground no one was hurt either you want me to say or think sapper it obama going to last before they leave here we have never mind the power for a really cool little cooling think worth it if they grow flowers bring flowers here on they haven't found that as well as wrong with what they want to raise called the emergency system. it is very emotional moment for everybody involved earlier i've had a chance to talk to some of these enthusiastic tourists let's take a listen to the quiz so we can see such an event only once in your lifetime one cannot miss it it's a great occasion it's very interesting and it's a huge step into space for all of the country as we came last year in october to see the space launch and is now is a wonderful experience but they got it didn't get all the way up into space it was an aborted mission so we just got our mind to come back again this is been

a. dream of mine since i was five years old and to watch your rocket go off is to come here which is the birthplace of russian space the russian space program for me is some emotional there is no long standing sort of ratio but it's just a long long stay. injury. and exchange of fire has escalated tensions between israel and palestinian is amiss in the gaza strip israeli warplanes bombed around one hundred hamas linked targets in response to two rockets sent in to tell of eve . the i.d.f. says its targets included headquarters used for the planning and execution of terror attacks a mosque has denied it was behind the rocket attacks on tel aviv we spoke with journalists on both sides of the border. in a lot of statements issued by different political political leaders yuri knees ryle . particularly can look into some of the. most prominent he does

one being many guns who he's a serious contender for the upcoming elections among other things he says that it is time that israel and the hamas leaders but also other political leaders saying that they expect out of prime minister binyamin netanyahu with very serious response the israeli military carried on airstrikes in the entire gaza strip thousand ministry of health has reported that four civilians have suffered burns and injuries as a result of the airstrikes over the palestinian factions have denied any involvement with the escalation of hamas said that it's looking into the shooting bowing to take measures against those responsible for it are to get reaction from israeli education minister enough tali bennett and human rights lawyer who were to araa. they have the right of self defense and they do not accept any sort of preach

from folks on the other side of the world when we're being shot rockets from a piece of territory that we handed over to the arabs we left gaza we want peace the moment they stop shooting missiles of my children's. home and kindergarten is the moment there will be peace we have no territorial demand over gaza and they just need to stop it if they stop it there will be peace that's very simple israel is not retaliating or responding when it is the initial aggressor in gaza and that unfortunately gets lost because no one cares to record it the situation in gaza is absolutely dire with israel having near total control certainly controlling all of the borders and what comes in and out and trapping an entire people inside this small piece of land. as an occupying power in gaza israel has the legal responsibility for the welfare of the people inside but it is doing
