11:01 am
just six pm here in moscow this monday march the warm welcome to the program. we begin with breaking news from the netherlands on there is a deadly updates to today's news dutch authorities say that three people were killed and nine injured in a shooting on a tram in the city of trekked earlier on monday with the details we spoke to local crime reporter weeks. we noted three have been killed and nine others have been have been wounded but we don't know and what we still don't know if there's any terrorist threat anymore or maybe we have to look for other reasons why this shooting took place oh this not much going on now at the moment
11:02 am
sram seems to be quiet the police actions moved to other locations since and we know if bin rates in several homes we have some video footage from up from bystanders sort of that show one person being arrested on the street but police have not made anything clear about wrists at the moment as of right now we know that one the police have got one suspects. they are hunting right now. a man thirty seven year old from he's been living in holland and in a group where the shooting took place or about for quite a while and just to add to what rick's was saying police are stating that the suspect is currently on the run they are looking for a thirty seven year old turkish born man in connection with the attack law enforcement have released this image of the individual on public transport warning
11:03 am
people not to approach him. we go live now to dr louis harrington terrorist expert and author of the forthcoming book drugs jihad and suicide terrorism a pleasure to have you on the program police of release details of a person in connection with the instead we just saw the photo louis a thirty seven year old turkish born man with that sort of information give any indication of a motive i do just want to show our viewers as well live pictures of what is happening right now it has been for the last number of hours police sticking out what seems to be an apartment block not if they're putting a photo of this person in connection it was widely believed that this is the person that police are right now looking for in this apartment block may be something to be said for a kind of. they haven't quite got all their ducks in
11:04 am
a row that this is the person they are they are looking for if you know what i mean . it's difficult at this stage to know for certain. that this is the individual but certainly putting out his i think the reason for putting out this picture is because of course they've raised the threat level and recognize the possibility of further shootings and so it would make it would make sense tactically to do that. but i understand from my sources that the individual actually is believed to have pursued jihad in chechnya. and that would tell us a bit the fact that we also understand that has a criminal background leads me to believe that there's a very similar profile to the roughly ninety men who've carried out
11:05 am
sort of suicide. terrorism in europe over the last twenty years although the there's few details to go on you know it's starting to fit a similar kind of profile a similar kind of trend where we're seeing. men that have go to that of have a history of engaging in salafi jihad as them who have carried out what is presumed to be sort of lone actor mass shootings shootings knifings vehicle borne assaults and so it's certainly it's the modus operandi of what we've seen in europe over the last so the eight years yes initially what i was alluding to there lou is that if if this photo fit of a person a suspect but that is who they believe to be looking for in that apartment block then it's not exactly known by the police if he is there or not as you say if there's a lot of open ended questions here police have put the terror threat level to its
11:06 am
highest a new track province what you read into that up at the instant in fact what does that say to the public that it said this highest level in this region right now. well we've had the similar sort of thing back in the u.k. when there's been a risk that either an individual all known associates of an individual are still on the run and in the case of the netherlands i mean they don't have a significant history of this kind of terrorist activity we have to look back to the case of the assassination of theo van gough we look back to that individual. and so it's really not a you know the not a mass number of attacks like this so i think that the being cautious naturally so and there's the risk that this person has links to others who then maybe maybe part it's interesting also that he didn't stand and confront police more often than
11:07 am
not cases like this will see an attack and then the individual wall then aim to die himself as part of a martyrdom operation in this case you know he seemed to have certainly fled i suspect what we'll see is that he'll be cornered we may end up with a hostage situation or he may die being apprehended ok yeah he fled in a small red car that's what the reports are saying dr louis harrington terrorism expert and author of the forthcoming book drugs jihad and suicide terrorism thank you. ok moving on to the big story of the day 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 christ's church which left fifty people dead prime minister just into our journey has also had some harsh words for social media outlets saying they
11:08 am
need to do more far more in fact to tackle extremist content the atrocity was live streamed on facebook and instagram and circulated in the aftermath well let's speak not so you or tease daniel hawkins with the details daniel twitter facebook very much in the spotlight today. yes indeed and as the police investigation continues of course questions are being raised as to what exactly happened in the lead up on the aftermath of this terrible act of barbarity among some those questions social media the role it played what if anything could have been done differently was there in chance at all of this act being prevented and how exactly to stop the spread of these violent images over millions of accounts just in a matter of minutes in such cases so of course this act of terror the shooting of fifty people was actually live streamed on facebook for around fifteen minutes before it was taken specifically at the request of police in new zealand it was then a shared subsequently on other social media platforms as well so there's been criticism
11:09 am
of inactivity over an activity as well as the questions being raised of course over the legal standing of such cases the police in new zealand have reminded their twitter followers certainly that distributing objects at all publications quoting here could mean a prison sentence if deemed injurious to public good which these sorts of terrible images of course would be deemed such so that's raises a whole host of questions with at least one a rest already confirmed in new zealand over the sharing of these images very much and present a legal framework here the prime minister of new zealand has also confirmed the sheer challenge they face dealing with this and how exactly they could stand this out in the future. 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 the messages in the aftermath there's a lot of work that needs to be down. of course the shooter not only live streamed
11:10 am
this attack in fact he actually posted a seventy four page manifesto a seventy four page document on twitter leading up to that attack he also e-mailed this so-called manifesto to a number of recipients the new zealand prime minister office was one of those he outlined his plans on this document to post the photos of his guns as well something very much a cause for concern the prime minister those said there really wasn't enough time to act given the short period between receiving that money first though and the attack taking place is what you have to say i was one of more than three she recipients of a mena manifesto that was mild to out nine minutes before the attack took place it did not include a location it did not include specific details that seventy four pages down
11:11 am
i assume just spewing out all kinds of here treatment of course he described himself as a fascist there was going to basically kill as many non whites as he could to protect what he described as western civilization as the european race and civilization from invaders he named norway's mass murderer and as breivik as an inspiration saying that new zealand wasn't actually his first choice to carry out this attack but he did actually not only mention the even the weapons he was you he was going to use but also the locations he was considering targeting the specific mosque and islamic center were those people were killed this is some of what he wrote we should warn viewers the images are quite graphic.
11:12 am
it was. not just the monument much money comes in on my road oh my god what happened to know he was believed in pretty distraught over the bad calls just received in silence. done this the talk was only live stream for a full fifteen minutes it was all show show multiple times a kind to a kind people were saying they had no problem finding it that leads to
11:13 am
a lot of questions as you were saying with the social media platforms how they responded to criticism while the document for example was removed from a twitter shortly after the attack took place many of the videos as well were removed as well in fact hundreds of thousands if not. absolutely zero people could still find them of course the big three giants facebook twitter and you tube do face questions over whether they really did a lot of that situation with these pictures being shuttled across the whole world how effectively they dealt with that and indeed how they plan to deal with this in the future now from their point of view they're certainly doing all they can to prevent this happening again and to remove the videos that are already out there this is what they have to say. in the first twenty four hour was removed one point five million views of the attack globally of which over one point two million were blocked and we continue to work around the clock to remove violating content using
11:14 am
a combination of technology and people clues nil we're working vigilantly to remove any violent footage of course i don't think anybody is under the illusion is here that simply removing these streams any quicker would have of course save the lives of these innocent people but there are questions raised as to for example in an age where clues about intentions and violent. threats for example on social media where some sort of nation can be gleaned from them to give to security services to perhaps act quicker issue some sort of warning age where these sorts of horrific videos can be streamed online is the threat being taken seriously enough are these preventative methods working the moderators the algorithm that how exactly this can be stopped from happening again. live with the op it's an issue to thank you. busy news day let's move on to another story we're closely following today french president the money will mark from house called an emergency meeting over the
11:15 am
damage inflicted by the strait latest weekend as well of course of yellow vest protests the anti-government rallies were once more marred by violence with fires being said look sharif shall plute it clashes with police the french government has admitted it feel to sufficiently contain the on the rest. analysis of events shows that the measures taken proved to be insufficient in containing the violence and preventing the actions of the rioters last saturday paris indeed so an unprecedented sharp increase in violence this iconic plays sadly new to some so you say it was practically a left in a pile of glass and flames and now this is streets it 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 thousand of protesters gathered here and took two hundred sixty most had been identified over
11:16 am
two hundred and forty people have been arrested and overall over eighty shops including some luxury as boutiques were vandalized. was. praised president who was forced to court chart a his ski trip and he has said that what happened here no longer a demonstration it has become a national security threat what happened today on the show in silesia they can no longer be called a demonstration these are people who want to destroy the republic even at the risk of killing everyone who. as there was complicit in this the yellow vests protested for eighteenth weekend so now it is actually unclear how a fact if these imaginary some may be or whether they can even make things worse.
11:17 am
just what. measures against the there are still to be annoyance we will bring them to you when the thought though that the french government is considering a ban on demonstrations on the show a political commentator. thinks everybody used to meet for months and months it won't get to the crux of the problem he thinks. the problem is that we have had faulty social. and so people are fed up with. you never mention anything about.
11:18 am
people so it's. also going to this is that. everybody is announcing that peace is the question. because it doesn't. this monday marks five years since crimea voted to rejoin russia our correspondent is live on the peninsula for the celebrations right after the break. you know world big partisan movie lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig 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 bad and
11:19 am
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 for watching closely watching the hawks. make this manufactured to send to the public well. when the ruling classes protect themselves. when the final merry go round lifts only the one percent. nor middle of the room sick.
11:20 am
welcome back to the program the us secretary of state's house the fended washington's bucking the saudi led coalition's bombing campaign in yemen while battle follows a senate vote last week to withdraw support mike pump or ses its continuation is the way to quote ensure a 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 were really to think about who schumann writes. 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 the way to alleviate the many people's 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 donald trump's arms deals with saudi arabia are expected to total around three hundred fifty billion dollars
11:21 am
over a decade and apart from arms supply military equipment washington provides riyadh with logistics intelligence as well our senior correspondent rob goes the of 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 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 is a bloody war in yemen world's worst humanitarian disaster the horrific wall in yemen saudi led quagmire and we are helping saudi arabia drop bombs on churches. weddings we all want this conflict to end if you truly care about your many lives
11:22 am
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 saudi arabia but what do we know the saudis have waged a four year war against who the rebels who they cool terrorists that is. turned yemen into a humanitarian catastrophe worse even in 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 is the pompei o 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 and as pledged an additional five hundred million dollars this year we work sowed to about two
11:23 am
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 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 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
11:24 am
arabia from starving many civilians brilliant speaking of protecting saudi lives there is a tiste 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 ruled operation and that seems washington was all too happy to support this explanation. that relationship. really really dollars profit u.s. oil company. the banks the military corporations the trump government and usually not is the. ministrations of washington democrats and republicans serve the
11:25 am
interests of those big banks and corporations and so many net relationship and all that it means. how our empire we are just the part that is the priority not the lives of people who are the people of saudi arabia or people of venezuela or for that matter states. festivities and celebrations are taking place across the crimean peninsula right now if the region marks five years since its reunification with russia our correspondent igor i should tell of is there are for us igor plenty going on a run you saw a sneak peek of the pictures from earlier tell us what's happening. and how well you know it's an absolutely beautiful day spring is in full swing beautiful what that so really nothing conflict people from spending this day from mocking this day out in the open out in the streets and as you can see hopefully around me thousands
11:26 am
of people we don't have the official figures yet but those are just people have turned out here to the official celebration and i mean it's really really loud music is blasting off out of the speakers were right behind me so i can barely hear you in fact so and really. it's a big day to stop a decade so we talked to some of the crimean send us how they allow us change. yesterday in st pete seeing as a resident of the city al say that it happened for the better. and over the past five years trusted changes have occurred in everything even the general impression of the peninsula. problems have always existed so who owns it all depends on the people when. he agreed to reunite with russia things went calmly people enjoyed life and then there's those against it i have friends here who are unhappy about it but very few over time they'll be satisfied because they saw the chaos before when
11:27 am
you could do whatever you wanted now we have the rule of law. oh well one of the problems that have been hopefully sold once and for all today is the problems with the electricity because crimea really was very very dependent on ukraine that's words that's where he drew most of its electricity power and so really often it would be held all staged by kids because sometimes the peninsula would go duck and there would be no lights in people's homes because kids would be either unwilling on simply incapable of providing the peninsula with enough energy today of lattimer putin visited to power plants and they were launched into full capacity in fact they are so powerful and they're so capable that they not only can suffice that the energy's now self-sufficient that this region is self-sufficient when it comes to energy but really it could turn into an exporter of electricity and supply one of
11:28 am
the regions with it and speaking of vladimir putin in fact we expect him to show up on stage behind me in about an hour's time i guess to address the people here who came home many of whom came here specifically to see the russian president. live from crimea which is marking five years since his reunification with russia r.t. correspondent igor shut up. all right more great programs ahead in moments then to join me for all the latest global news developments this monday. this trumps america first agenda isolating the united states on the global stage
