with me. into the program. a gunman has killed 12 people and injured 10 others in the u.s. state of virginia the shooter opened fire inside the government building in virginia beach and was killed in a shootout with police. my supervisor heard a noise and just basically got everybody in called 911 and stayed on the phone with them we tried to do everything we could to keep everybody. you know barricaded in as much as possible you know you hear this all the time when the news but you don't think it's ever going to happen to you. the shooting began to bond 4 pm local time the gunman went floor to floor in the municipal building randomly shooting people police evacuated whom they could from the scientology situation is still on. the start of the investigation into the case. i know the town and its citizens well and

i can tell you all of america and really all of the world their hearts and prayers go out to these people as they try to sort through the details my guess is we will see as we usually do in these shootings sadly that this was someone who was disturbed and suicidal in his own right and then decided for whatever reason. many times inexplainable to take it out on his coworkers the gun control we've found again and again does not prevent crime and in fact in gun free zones which my guess is i don't know for sure but my guess is that this is probably another gun free zone which in my opinion is sort of a welcome mat for criminals to walk in and commit their crimes because they know that citizens are an armed. the shooter is thought to be an employee of the public utilities department but the authorities haven't made public the suspects named according to police it's hockey's the $45.00 caliber handgun with multiple extended

by the scenes and a suppressor the incident is the 100 and 58th and deadliest u.s. mass shooting in 2019 u.s. senator bernie sanders reacted to the news of the virginia beach massacre by saying that the days of the national rifle association lobbying for legislation must end the attack has intensified america's running debate on gun control which goes back at least 20 years and the columbine high school massacre claimed 15 lives. told transplants for wall seemed to have inspired his soon to be house in the u.k.

with the american president visiting the city of portsmouth on d.-day local authorities have erected a large security fence to the disgruntlement of some locals the event on thursday among the start of the normandy landings during world war 2. reports from portsmouth. he wanted to a wall and now he's got it ok so it may not be the wall but it is a wall the naval city of portsmouth is getting ready to welcome the u.s. president who's going to be visiting him in order to attend the 75th anniversary of the d.-day landings on the 5th of june that's why the barricades have gone up and the is ready and all of this green space where the ceremony will take place is called and off lest anyone get any dangerous ideas donald

trump's attendance all of the deejays ceremony will see him come through in a double layer of security fencing allowing him to watch the day's events from inside there in total safety with the queen and to reason may and some invited guests but the u.s. president's security comes at a cost for the people of portsmouth for whom the view of the day's events will be totally blocked well for those with an official invite view for me inside is rather splendid they've even spruced up all that excessive saying there is without an invitation all welcome to this general area outside although they'll be subject to security checks while coming in but once inside they'll be able to watch the proceedings taking place in their own large t.v. screens out here for some it's putting a bit of

a dam on d.-day for those who are involved. in the periphery shoot through can be awkward and people coming from the outside to see the event and now it's because the matrix coming from it is going to feel the screen its own friend store you can't see anything you want to see them draw. because i'll bet there were helicoptered in durham. 24 years ago or no it's a different world but still you know you have to shore up the museum don't you yeah i'm not too keen on the one or storm turn on television because of the stereo and i put up a wooden paddle but since. you know i just might sort of mockery of it it's not so common that anybody can hear it's annoying but we're not out on them and it seems like everybody was shocked to try to we will top the other end and we could get through so much why don't we might go into the summit much better like they die

i think with a possibility to demonstrate what they've done is basically blocked off any sign of any doesn't demonstrate just so. with that shashi are saying well i don't need that much security. here is it portsmouth city's council leader is also on impressed it will change the nature of the event a great do for us the center of the events was meant to be the veterans with donald trump coming i think the chances are that will move from being around commemoration and instead it will be a day of controller c d's a carries a special significance here portsmouth was the departure point for much of the d.-day landing force in 1944 all that i won't be able to see to the ceremony that will be one special designated area where dissatisfied locals can have very voices heard the now obligatory looting and see trump protests will have to be erected everywhere the u.s. president goes on his u.k.

state visit and portsmouth is no exception. the latest installment of head computer game series call of duty takes inspiration from the conflict in syria giving center stage to controversial rescue group the white helmet as heroes despite their links to jihad as well takes a look. it's back in a big way after years of falling sales and irrelevance call of duty is going back to its roots it'll be more shocking more morally on big us than ever before with russians so we will you wouldn't believe. surprise russian sue 25 jet there it is apparently bombing civilians in

the next scene white helmets the rescue wing of syria's jihad is rebels a scene helping injured civilians out of rubble just like in their real life propaganda reels the syrian 1st responders who risk their lives to save others in war torn aleppo in the face of on relenting brutality heroes have emerged they have all chosen to risk their lives to save others. now it's only a trailer but something tells me we won't see the ugly side of the white helmets i doubt we'll see them disposing of freshly executed corpses for islam is terrorists i doubt we'll see them waving al qaeda flags as they do in real life i doubt we'll see them staging chemical weapons attacks what i don't doubt is that the russians

will be portrayed doing things that would put satan himself to shame at least going by what those who have already played the game say we saw game play from the perspective of a young for the girl who would eventually grow up to be the commander of the rebel forces fleeing from the invading russian army ferrari and her family are eventually cornered by a soldier who kills her father we see convene crawling under bad and scaring iran has to take down and lunkhead it fresh and soldier with little more than a screwdriver. to be fair it's only a game artistic license and all that no relation to real life events people or politics it's just a video game for young malleable impressionable kids showing imaginary russians invading bombing civilians murdering civilians gassing civilians and being killed in turn by the protagonist and the white helmets virtually copy pasted from c.n.n.

into call of duty coincidence totally what we see is what defines a terrorist is in the eye of the beholder this is not a black and white world oh so i says bombing an airport in europe doesn't necessarily mean it's terrorism as like real life dude we all decide what's good and what's bad like in previous call of duty games where the player gets to massacre hundreds of russian civilians in an airport. and again by total coincidence call of duty and the pentagon have almost identical perceptions of who is good and who is bad what i meant by coincidence is the opposite of coincidence not only a pentagon employees boardin to help design the game but cool of juji writers then

go on to advise that the pentagon we started thinking about how to change we brought in a lot of outside help military advisors futurologists we got together with the scenario planning from the department of defense who is active in the pentagon which of course means nothing it's only a game for kids i just wonder when will we get a modern warfare in starman where the protagonist is patriotic middle eastern and fighting to rid his country of an occupying american army what do you think those pentagon advisors would have to say to that. we spoke to joe lombardo cohen coordinator of the united national antiwar coalition he came to the u.s. military uses video games as a propaganda tool. i think it's just heard of the. propaganda that comes out of this forms to get people used to war and to get

people to take sides especially young people propaganda comes in many forms and throughout my lifetime i have seen movies and hollywood change and i think this is preparing people for the kind of world that the u.s. military and the u.s. government want to see so they can continue their dominance military dominance and political dominance over the world the u.s. military should stay away of the gaming industry they should stay out of hollywood they should stay out of the sports industry but they are in all those industries ahead of enter national children's day insaf as they can highlight to the plight of children in afghanistan the humanitarian body says that hotham all children in the country don't have access to education afghan government's war on terror has led to the destruction of many schools visited and afghan profit swear classes continue

against all the odds. it. could have been there at least 7 educational centers which have been destroyed during the war between the isis militants and the afghan government the clashes damaged or even destroyed places of education and somebody occasional centers became isis headquarters i am demanding that the government helps us reopen our educational centers as soon as possible. i want to tell you how does that how school was destroyed we don't have any chest seat on and shouted to take from the sunshine any essentials for isaac a shame they should get the nicest game here they destroy their school and open

their own sensors and start i want the government to reopen this call for us because the weather is very warm and we are in the able to learn in such conditions . without a popular search that the school was taken over by isis isis threatened us in closed down our educational centers. along the banks why she came and shut our educational institutions the teachers were imprisoned tortured they ordered us to close schools they would choose education they were stuck joy we have lost our sensors appears that the government has been scheduled to. julian sanchez being subjected to psychological torture according to a you're an expert at the wiki leaks founder in a london prison for a last story out of more after this break.

capitalism is a supposed to create companies they compete they make products some fail some of them succeed there's a central bank there in case the banks go under as the lender of last resort and that's the way it was designed. but now we're in

a situation where the central banks become the buyer of 1st or. welcome back to the program a united nations expert on torture says cheering assad is being subjected to cruel and degrading treatment and that several democratic states are trying to break his will the special rapporteur visit to the wiki leaks founder in london's belmarsh prison nels meltzer explains more in going underground here on r.t. . julie says that cisco consequence is clearly shall not be able to access reddit and there for several years the much more serious aspect is how he has been mentally ill the most easily faked extremely hostile and increasingly arbitrary

environment she has been exposed street for for several years so here he really showed all the symptoms that people call for a person that has been exposed. psychological torture with the u.n. official coming into criticism for his comments dahlia holkins looks at how deep the controversy could run. reports on the remarks by the un special experts on torture has brought the media's attention but they've also drawn quite a stir online from officials in the u.k. foreign secretary jeremy hunt for one trading tweets with the united nations special operator about the extent of his involvement in the legal battle surrounding julian a son's. this is wrong assigns chose to hide in the embassy and was always free to leave and face justice the un special rapporteur should allow british courts to make their judgments without his interference or inflammatory accusations. with

all due respect sir mr sons was about as free to leave was someone sitting in the rubber boat in the shark pool as the detail to my formal letter to yusuf or u.k. courts i'm not shown the impartiality into objects to the required by the rule of law others through despite this about some of the controversy mr saunders case has drawn from all sides with the north all rootie human rights organizations and the media community this all stemmed of course from a report released by mr meltzer to the british authorities as well as other countries documenting the treatment of a song that's already got response slowly not only from the u.k. foreign secretary but also from australian authorities who issued a statement just earlier today strongly denying rejecting any claims they've been complicit in any form of psychological torture saying they have provided mr sands with all the assistance you require as mr meltzer though has insisted that these claims are not just speculation he visited to sanjian belmarsh high security prison

where he's now being held alongside medical experts spent several hours evaluating him and his concerns has to be said that didn't pull any punches he's described the treatment of our sons' as a psychological torture describing a deliberate concerted and sustained abuse judicial persecution and of which we can farm and before in the. course through his time in the ecuadorian embassy in london he made those comments to add he's going on the ground host optionor tanzi you can see the full interview as you mentioned that morrow here is a good preview of what the u.n. official said to us earlier. where it was but political prisoners prisoners of war for years and but what we do in these cases you can with a doctor if he's like a son should call which is designed to examine potential victims of.

these standards and use the evidence was will when we look clearer. in the sunshine and be exposed to several. forms of cruel inhuman and degrading treatment which she will do we can only describe. what was he shocked me with this particular case is that a single individual has been selected and singled out by several democratic states and persecuted systematically and it is still a manner to point to the breaking of this comes shortly after julian assange his extradition case in the u.k. court was postponed view through ill health his lawyers stating he is unable to even hold a functional conversation the swedish authorities on their part have refused to postpone a hearing ruling on his attention and he is at present here despite calls from lawyers and human rights organizations so it's clear he faces mounting legal pressure here from all sides mr meltzer also expressed concerns about the potential

for his extradition to the united states where he of course faces 17 new charges from u.s. prosecutors relating to the more serious allegation of espionage as opposed to simply computer hacking these allegations would draw a month's link the a prison sentence we're talking many decades perhaps even life behind bars so really there is no end in sight for the case of julian assad that this has dragged on. certainly draw emotions and controversy from all sides ranging from offshore eighty's legal experts and human rights organizations to of course the wider journalist community. jenna's cassandra fair bangs told us the 70 is a jewel in a saucepan in the ecuadorian embassy amounted to torture. it seemed like he was losing weight he he was in good spirits and he was feisty and he was fighting but he he didn't seem necessarily like himself and i know that it's been kind of

declining for a while now it is very very different than when i visited him the 1st time which was over a year ago and you can kind of see it progressively getting worse i think that the u.k. has already spent 20 $5000000.00 or more on surveilling the embassy and they wouldn't have done that if they didn't have intention of making sure that he was prosecuted i mean when i would visit him it was like living it was being in a fishbowl every move that he made was monitored there were cameras going down the hallway cameras outside the bathroom there were cameras in the meeting room where they forced him to have all its meetings i feel like that would take a huge toll on anyone about a year ago a group of doctors had went in and visited a staunch and they determined that he needed to go to the hospital julien couldn't leave the embassy because the u.k. refused to allow him safe passage to a hospital you know this is a form of torture. american feminist. wolf has found itself

in an embarrassing situation after a historian puppets a cold out her latest book of a false claims about the treatment of gay men in victorian era button. i found like several dozen executions heavily doesn't execution correct and this correct a misapprehension that the last man was executed for sodomy in britain in 1035 but i don't think you're wrong to vote this. fall. outrageous says that the victorians executed men for having sex with each other this is a big claim that goes against every history of the subject i've read and it is wrong no victoria man was ever executed for sodomy.

now me move to the liberal write the book facts be damned. could anything be more embarrassing. given your book is a failure. in the pantheon of nightmares somewhere between falling into an endless speed and back in high school but naked is going nation radio and learning only that the book you wrote and will be published in 2 weeks is premised on the misunderstanding. republicans in the united states have been frustrated with the media generally speaking for decades but i've never seen it so polarized where the left really truly doesn't care about facts were major t.v. channels claiming to be legitimate news networks will push

a false narrative and make no apologies when that narrative is proof false like the so-called trump russia collusion there was no collusion and they don't care they're making no apologies they don't care about facts and i think that's the same thing here with with name naomi wolf and her publisher they just don't care about facts and they're just going to continue to push these negative arguments that divide people i think people need to be aware if somebody is pushing something that sounds outrageous or too crazy to be true it probably isn't true. now i'll be back around 30 minutes time with multiple updates to stay with us.

standardized testing. very well done no dates and you know to say we should have standardized testing would be like saying well we shouldn't have our blood pressure checked or or even our weight if you're going to see the doctor those are standardized instruments and you need to be able to know how children are doing right from when they start school. facebook and google started with a great idea and great ideals unfortunately it was also a very dark so. they are constructing a profile of you and that profile is real it's detailed and it never goes away turns out that google is manipulating your opinions from the very 1st character that you type into the search bar it will always favor one dog food over another one comparative shopping service over another and one candidate over another they

can suppress certain types of results deiced on what they think you should be see if they have this kind of power then democracy is an illusion the free and fair election besan exist the more we give them the sooner we are all. nobody could see coming that confessions would be that in this population of. any interrogation out there what you'll see is threat promise threat promise threat lie a lie a lie the process of interrogation is designed to put people in just that frame of mind to make the uncomfortable make them want to get out and don't take no for an answer don't accept their denials she. therefore would. send a statement that i will be all about that the next day there's a culture of all accountability and police officers know that they can engage in
