10:01 am
sufficiently contain a rampage through. yellow. from moscow to the world this is your r.t. international and your company my name's union o'neil we begin with breaking news this hour from the netherlands one person is reported to have been killed several others injured in a shooting on a tram in the city of toronto forty kilometers south of. police say the suspect is currently on the run they are looking for a thirty seven year old turkish born. released his photo in connection with the atomic law enforcement released an image of the individual. transports warning
10:02 am
people not to approach him dutch authorities are investigating whether the instance right now is terror for sure or not some urgency services are continuing as from a number for four hours or so and the scene they wouldn't have been early if that to hospital the dutch prime minister has also announced that the government will hold crisis talks in the coming hours another important aspect to point out here for the first time in the country's history they never really is the terror threat level to five in the trekked province well let's go live now to tracked on rixos ingo who's a local crime reporter rix thanks for taking the time to speak to us what more do we know at this point about what has occurred there. ok we just can't speak to. a freelance reporter there in the area
10:03 am
we do have polo rough tony who's a strategic and political. space at the c.p. patients. program hi paulo. one of the aspects here paul police have released details we've just been looking at the photo of the person in connection with the instant a thirty seven year old turkish born mom does that give any more information as to as to the motive because it is not definitively clear what has occurred today in the dutch city. not really there are no more information from the dutch state or of the police. part of the speech sure the alleged origin of dispersant. trying to estimate if you did these terrorists because it's quite unclear what was the motive to do this. but it could be. you know really the personal reaction or any way an auction of
10:04 am
revenge for what has happened in new zealand or whatever else i mean nothing has been said in this respects and as far as i know nobody has claimed yet the ox that has become known monitor what has happened paul is that police have pumped they terror threat level to its highest level five in track province what does that say about the and indeed what can the public read into it. well the this is normal because of the fear that there may be actions and reactions from different groups actually after the new zealand events we have seen it is also here in brussels a more visible presence of the army to patrolling certain areas that a few days ago it was not there so evidently all the states are trying to. take preventative measures to avoid is the beginning of
10:05 am
a sort of war between groups. which can be old so you know individual actions should not necessarily think that the reason a group behind what has happened in nutrients but even crazy people around them should trump create severe damage as we have said just a lying coming in paulo on they were ripped receiving reports and that three people were not killed in the shooting so so very much a deadly day in in the. city so that line just coming into us perhaps giving more credence that this was more of a coordinated attack. coordinated we don't know because we don't know how many people took part into it the police is just saying one person well to looks like is they're not really worried people killed however. yeah that's the killed people the
10:06 am
tree but we don't know the jesus how many with them it is only one no more than one what it looks like. to have such a number of injured and killed people. probably has been used a little magic type a weapon. it's not a pistol and so this is something that has to be taken into account holes in the united nations of the possible linkage to to or movements one another aspect of this of course is the investigation what happens now we're in an open country in europe not us not a large country you can get to different borders in not a very large amount of time how why do you suspect the police would be spreading their net you know considering that that attacks in other major cities across europe have been quarter needed to have involved accomplices for country to country that's another dimension that's making life even more difficult for authorities in
10:07 am
that. if it is the case that so far we don't have any confirmation of this that. the that is the result of the coordinated efforts of more than one person and it's these people from the way beautiful even driving a car at the beginning this is what was the news. that these so evidently. dangerous old sort of the neighboring states. has been to so far no sign from the. police who are really in brussels of the core of the needed reaction that european level ok yeah thanks very much for talking us through all that a lot of aspects when we don't know for sure what has happened whether it is definitely terrorism or not but polar phony strategic and political thank you just to clarify then in recent. said the three people were
10:08 am
killed in the shooting this is as you can see very much a developing story from the central dutch city any and all of the latest developments we will bring it to. new zealand's government is promising to make changes to the country's gun laws in the wake of friday's terror attack on two mosques in christchurch which left fifty people dead prime minister just send our intern is also had some harsh words for social media outlets saying they need to do far more to tackle the extremist content the atrocity was live streamed on facebook and instagram and circulated widely in the aftermath of the hawkins joins us now in the studio with the details. danny us were saying their new zealand. prime minister is sensually among many others have lashed out at
10:09 am
facebook twitter for for allowing the content to be life stream this is going to be very. much a talking point in the coming future yeah absolutely as that police investigation proceeds of course questions are being asked about the events events leading up to this attack and indeed taking place during and after as well along some of those questions the role of particular of social media what if anything could have been done differently is there any chance out all this could have been prevented and indeed how to stop such terrible content being live streamed to millions around the world in future of course this attack was streamed live on facebook for around fifty minutes before it was removed specifically at the request of new zealand police it was then subsequently on other platforms as well. so this criticism really of inaction here as well as questions over the legal standing of such cases because the police in new zealand have said that distributing such objectionable publication could mean
10:10 am
a prison sentence if deemed dangerous to public good that is the legal standing here of course such contant would most definitely be classified as such we've had confirmation of at least one arrest even so far in new zealand over somebody sharing these publications so really this does open up questions over quite an unprecedented legal framework here as well the prime minister of new zealand who you mentioned earlier has acknowledged the scale of this problem and indeed the sheer challenge of stamping out this sharing of such content in the future this is what you have to say. i would call on our social media platforms of all variety to demonstrate the kind of responsibility that both lead to these have been and that includes stars who perpetuate their messages in the aftermath there's a lot of work that needs to be down. now a seventy four page manifesto. about this attack was actually sent to a number of recipients just before it took place including the office of the new zealand prime minister it was also shared on a twitter account which had
10:11 am
a very similar resemblance in terms. name and profile to the facebook profile from which this attack was streamed that was posted in advance of this attack the prime minister did make clear that it arrived just a matter of minutes before it took place and it was really too little too late according to her for anything to be done. i was one of more than fifty she recipients of a mina manifesto that was mild to out nine minutes before the attack took place it did not include a location it did not include specific dates house and order and seeing what it didn't include what was in it as you can imagine a very long rambling document containing criticism of immigration policy of multiculturalism the dangers to the western civilization if action wasn't taken sood references to new nazis met cetera the most important details though the
10:12 am
chilling details was it did quite clearly illustrate the publishers the attackers intentions to carry out an act of violence that listed the weapons he chose to use it did also mention some names of the mosques of the islamic centers which he specifically considered targeting in this terror act in that document we're going to show you some of what was written i just want him to viewers though some of the images in the video are distressing. to the.
10:13 am
this is the monument splashing money and i'm thin oh my god oh my god it's going to happen to me now he was. then putting the. cover the bear was just putting it in turns. don't you loaded to the social media platforms you know able to live stream for fifteen minutes but that's that's not all they said it's the ability for this funny to be spread from from a kind to a current and so many people being able to watch it for such a long period of time have they reacted to this criticism yeah indeed as you mentioned absolutely how ring footage spread just in a matter of minutes across potentially millions or hundreds of millions of viewers around the world and of course social media platforms facebook you tube twitter
10:14 am
understandably coming into questions as to how effectively they dealt with that how effective is their system of moderation and terms of moderators and so i was of algorithms that pick up on these videos of the patterns where they're coming from etc are the right steps being taken and is this problem being taken seriously enough certainly according to them they are doing the best they can this is how they responded to those things. in the first twenty four hour was that removed one point five million views of the attack globally of which over one point two million were blocked and apply we continue to work around the clock to remove violating content using a combination of technology and people clues no we are working vigilantly to remove any violent footage. of course removing these live streams probably wouldn't have saved the lives of these innocent people who so barbarically taken away from them the wider question here though is in an age where clues about these horrific acts about somebodies intention to carry out an act of terror can be gleaned from
10:15 am
social media posts and perhaps give security services those vital few minutes to respond to issue a warning to evacuating a target and indeed where horrific concert like this can be streamed and inspire copycat attacks what more can be done to save that and what can be done in terms of legal precedents and legal frameworks to prevent this happening again ok we have the answers to some of those issues are right dana hawkins bring this right up to date thank you. french president among your house called an emergency meeting over the dull mage inflicted by the. latest weekend of yellow vest protests the anti-government rallies were once again marred by violence with fires being set. closes with police the french government has admitted it failed to sufficiently contain the rest well let's cross to our correspondent in a culture that is the hardest. to give us a sense of what the government because they've been putting forward very direct
10:16 am
statements about we were going to do something what are they going to do. well as fischel is here in france promised to present a new set of measures to avoid another wave of violent protests here on the streets of the french capital and we expect. these measures are expected to be an ounce this monday as the french president in london mccrone summoned top security ministers after pretties flailed to contain extreme rioting that happened here just two days ago and indeed the french government has already admitted that not enough was done to approve the violence from taking place. analysis of events shows that the measures taken proved to be insufficient in containing the violence and preventing the actions of the writers. last saturday
10:17 am
paris indeed saw an unprecedented sharp increase in violence this iconic plays ave just some say it was practically a left in a pile of glass and flames and now this is streets a resembles a battlefield right after the protests and now this completely burned down kiosk is a reminder of what happened here so recently and now police say that ten thousand of protesters. other here and the fifteen hundred extremists have been identified over two hundred forty people have been arrested and over the over eighty shops including some luxuries boutiques were vandalized.
10:18 am
youth. phrase president who was forced to court charged he is treif and he said that what happens here as the no longer a demonstration it has become a national security threat. what happened today on the show mr lee's a can no longer be called a demonstration these are people who want to destroy the republic even at the risk of killing everyone who was there was complicit in this. while the yellow vests protested for eighteen's weekend so now it is actually unclear how a fact if as these measures some may be or whether they can and even make things
10:19 am
worse here certainly not settling down with springtime in corresponding mccutchen of a live in the french capital thank you. just really what medina was going through there ramped up measures against the u.s. are still to be annoyed still though it is thought the french government is considering a demonstration on the shoulder elisei that's a big element of this political commentator respond told me earlier it will not get to the crux of the problem. the problem is that you have had faulty social. and so people are fed up with. you never mention anything about.
10:20 am
people so it's easy. when he knows that. everybody has announced that's his is the question. because he doesn't. the u.s. secretary of state has defended washington's backing of the saudi led coalition's bombing campaign in yemen follows a senate vote last week to withdraw support mike palmdale say its continuation is the way to ensure just peace to alleviate suffering in the war torn country. the senators who voted say they want to end the bombing in yemen and support human rights. but we really think about rights. if you truly care about your many lives you'd support the saudi led effort to prevent yemen from turning into
10:21 am
a puppet state of the corrupt british islamic republic of iran the way to alleviate the many people suffering isn't to prolong the conflict by handicapping our partners in the fight but by giving the saudi led coalition the support needed to defeat arabian back rebels and ensure just peace well it should be pointed out that donald trump's arms deals with saudi arabia are worth a run thirty three hundred fifty billion dollars over the next decade apart from arms supplies military equipment washington provides riyadh with logistics intelligence as well while our senior correspondent has been delving deeper into the u.s. secretary of state's comments. the united states makes no secret of what it stands for freedom justice democracy and saudi arabia the white house stands firm on that even if the senate is having second thoughts voting to end u.s. support for riyadh's endless war in yemen saudi arabia's bloody war in yemen
10:22 am
world's worst humanitarian disaster the horrific wall in yemen saudi led quagmire we are helping saudi arabia drop bombs on churches and weddings we all want this conflict to end if you truly care about your many lives you'd support the saudi led effort to prevent yemen from turning into a puppet state of the corrupt british islamic republic of iran as opposed to becoming a puppet of the free and fair saudi arabia but what do we know the saudis have waged a four year war against who with the rebels who they call terrorists that has turned yemen into a humanitarian catastrophe worse even than syria four and five yemeni civilians twenty four out of twenty eight million need aid to survive three in five or twenty million either on the brink or already starving that
10:23 am
is the pump aoe has a solution the united states has given more than two billion dollars to help the many people since the start of the conflict. and saudi arabia has given over five hundred million dollars in two thousand and eighteen alone in his pledged an additional five hundred million dollars this year we've got to about two dollars per hungry civilian per month from washington but that's for the cameras you know where the real money is guns oh yes guns are very very you know five hundred thirty three million dollars five hundred twenty five million dollars the screeners view. peanuts he says twelve point five billion dollars in that the u.s. is selling saudi arabia is peanuts what does that make the aid then but mr
10:24 am
pompei zero is adamant if a little bit rabid in his support for saudi arabia and gun sales which really care about saudi lives you'd want to stop around back to these from launching missiles into riyadh amazing how you can twist and turn reality on its head rather than protecting you many civilians from saudi arabia he's protecting saudi arabia from starving many civilians brilliant speaking of protecting saudi lives there is a tease to one life that washington didn't seem so concerned about mr hersh shoji was the victim of a brutal and premeditated killing planned and perpetrated by officials of the state of saudi arabia riyadh has brushed off ickes ations that the rule family had anything to do with it saying it was rude to operation and that seems washington was all too happy to support this explanation here we
10:25 am
really. really really dollars profit u.s. oil company. bank the military corporations the trump government and usually not just the trump government but the administrations in washington democrat and republican serve the interests of those big banks and corporations and so many in that relationship and with all that it means for profit and how our empire the interest of empire that is the priority not the lives of the people of yemen are the people of saudi arabia or the people of venezuela or for that matter the people of the united states. ok before we go to break update on our breaking news from the netherlands the mare of. said that three people were killed in monday's trauma shooting in the city several others also suffered gunshot wounds
