a series of explosions ripped through a military bomb 53 in the russian city of leaving at least 80 people injured. the dreams of a war come true in the u.k. city of portsmouth which is beefing up security. to the day anniversary visit much to the annoyance of some locals. it's. coming out of the old story it's old friend story you can't see anything. on the new computer game based on the war in syria twist the facts are trying. to watch as heroes and russian play this is targeting civilians.

it is one of them here in the russian capital thanks for joining us this is. at least 85 people have been injured in a series of blasts at a russian military bomb factory a state of emergency has been declared in the area surrounding the plant in the city of. people living near the site have been posting videos online. at least 200 residential buildings were damaged by the blush shock waves along with dozens of schools and kindergartens residents describe what they saw. but if we look the glass from my balcony was blown away and it's the same for all they are the floods everything is not stop people ran out on the street they couldn't

understand what was happening. and when you see if you have never seen anything like that the windows were shattered and that column of smoke was terrifying it looked like it was to kilometers high heeled up with all the windows are smashed from the top floor down where i live. i heard the massive ben the windows were knocked out i was looking on in shock wondering what was going on then i heard another band in the run home in the living room all the furniture was scattered around. his right culture of his in with the latest. for standing are right outside the entrance to the plant say it's about to kill longer away and you can see the police behind me they have cordoned off the area as the investigation is it taking place as we have found out that there were actually sued blast authorities say that the explosions were so powerful they shattered windows many many kilometers away and investigators have also opened up

a criminal probe over the possible breaking off safety rules that's something that the factories the director has been fired for only only 31st of may so very very recently and also a human error is that believed to be a plane for this incident the investigation is now ongoing. u.k. is bracing itself for protests over donald trump's upcoming state visit rallies are expected to follow the u.s. president throughout his 3 day trip his last visit in $28.00 teens or 250000 demonstrators in london and protesters are once again expected to poke fun at him. well there's a giant robot seated on the toilet it's been shipped from china to london specifically for this latest visit last year there are

a baby trunk building was flying high in the skies over the british capital and the people behind that hope to repeat the start with a new balloon and they have the approval from the mayor of london but say this bill trying to reach the 30000 pounds fundraising target. in ma trump's plans for a wall seem to have inspired his seem to be hosts in the u.k. with the american president visiting the city of portsmouth for d.-day commemorations local all 4 of these very regular large security fence to the disgruntlement of some locals and you'll event marks the start of the normandy landings in world war 2 and these police 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 here 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 in 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 minutes putting a bit of a dam on d.-day for those who are involved. in the periphery troops who 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 it's very it's own friend story you can't see anything you want to see them draw. because there were helicoptered in and to him it just wasn't like it 2040 years ago or no it's a different world but still there has to you know you have to show the museum don't yeah yeah not to you know when the storm turned on television because of the studio and i put up a wooden paddle fence and. you know i just might sort of mockery of it

it's not so common that anybody and you know it's no way. going all out on them and it seems like everybody was shocked to try to we walked up the other end and we could get through so much why don't i do it is the summit much better like they die i think with the possibility to demonstrate what they've done this basically blocked off any sign of any doesn't demonstrate just so. that shashi are saying well i don't need that much security. here is it portsmouth city's council leader is also unimpressed 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 it 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 want to be able to see to this

ceremony that will be one special designated area where dissatisfied locals can have very voices the now obligatory looting and the 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 the hit computer game series call of duty takes inspiration from the conflict in syria but it gives a somewhat warped perspective on the war the training just how this linked rescue group to what helmets is heroes and showing deliberately targeting civilians 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 ambiguous than ever before with

russians so we've all you wouldn't believe. surprise a russian suit 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've risked 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 their 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 gameplay from the perspective of a young frog the girl who would eventually grow up to be the commander of the rebel forces fleeing from the invading russian army for her family are eventually cornered by a soldier who kills her father we see could be him crawling under her bed and scurrying around her house to take down an long headed russian soldier with a 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 board in to help design the game but cool of juji writers then go on to advise that the pentagon started thinking about how to change we brought in a lot of outside help military advisors futurologists we got together with a scenario planner 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. the acting u.s. secretary of defense has lashed out at china while speaking at an asia pacific summit in singapore i took shanahan accuse beijing of military aggression. some in our region are choosing to act contrary to the principles and norms that have benefited us all they destabilize the region deploying advanced weapons systems to militarized disputed areas destabilizing the peaceful status quo by threatening the use of force to compel rivals into conceding claims. you know we're not going to ignore chinese behavior. i think in the past people have kind of tiptoed around that. what comes after china tariffs on a range of u.s. goods to 25 percent in the tit for tat measure the move took effect on saturday earlier the u.s. had hiked import taxes on chinese imports of ivan by sea to 25 percent chinese

affairs unless the underland told us that the trade war between the world's 2 largest economies will cause far reaching damage. a lot of arts components there's an affection china and of course china buys a lot of picks up from the united states and then of course the soybeans almost a trans main so please so i think there's going to hurt us closest going to china as well so this is again that size it was something to get with other countries because the all well this connected in the supply and venue change is i likes the kind of. not just a trait. but a fight between the dollar seeing at $360.00 degrees kind of back construct the u.s. consumers as well as you as you noticed and even u.s. manufacturers would be affected the israeli palestinian conflict is spilling over on to the streets of berlin we'll have more on that story after this break.

join me every thursday on the alex salmond short and i'll be speaking to us from the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. capitalism is just post a great company they compete they make products 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 one.

standardized testing. it's a very well done no it is you know to say we should have standardized testing would be like saying well we shouldn't have our blood pressure checked or even are we 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. or come back pro palestinian rallies spread across the muslim world steering the annual could stay usually held on the last friday of ramadan the protest is against israel's so-called occupation of east jerusalem.

germany has also seen protests with hundreds of pro palestinian activists taking to the streets of berlin the israeli community in the capital they count a demonstration and express fears that anti-semitism is gaining momentum in the country it is rare for nationals been speaking to both sides.

this is what that kid gatherings made here and everything from one side of the avenue we can see but disappearance of the so cold i'll stay marge this is what i think name for the city of jerusalem and the statement station you know it's over oh. poor quality of the state of israel i have to disagree with. your muscling belongs to israel i'm here to send for the palestinian 1 people to see his rights this is how it is that it should be done so the whole world should be for policy this is all you sure you really don't want to 5 we want to be we just want to be enemies my brother was wise enough to act as a human shields them for the palestinian voters not to be shot by you know your israel us army is knowing the other side of the avenue here in central billing we have what they call of and south to rally gangs the rally does support

israel we have been able to talk to the organizers and see some of the disciplines it's not about criticizing the service about delegitimizing israel and about hating jews when people shout jews in the gas chambers then it's it's it has nothing to do with his record exists only of all things it is an illustration against another liberalization. inacceptable anti-semitic acquits march which was called was taking place today berlin and we should not tolerate any form of anti-semitism in the way in berlin and in germany and this is why. everybody but you've got to take stories like it's a taking our way of living and this is why we have to want to show solidarity and this is all that doesn't have anything to do it with israel or it is. you know this is completely on the. front lines of this guy says. what is it except it's the big

movers in your old responsibility but what you need government is doing it's have to be advising me to give me an example of my that is why we have to show solidarity much this is why i did here it to support this solidarity with jews with israel and to show how strong they are to show it to these people on the other side of the adding in. united nations children's charity unicef says almost half of all afghan children are being denied an education war on terror in the regions led to many schools being destroyed auntie visit an afghan province where classes continue against the odds. our school was destroyed we don't have any chance to see on and shouted to take from the sunshine any ascensions for education. when isis came here they destroyed their school and opened their own sensors and i want the government to reopen this call for us

because the weather is very warm we aren't able to learn in such conditions. there are at least 7 educational centers which have been destroyed during the war between the isis militant group and the afghan government the clashes damaged or even destroyed places of education and some of the occasional centers became isis headquarters i am demanding that the government helps us reopen our educational centers as soon as possible. how else would it go your populace that this school was taken over by isis i says threatened us and closed down our educational centers. if i. lived. alone after the servants came and shot our educational

institutions the teachers were imprisoned and tortured they ordered us to close schools there were 2 educational buildings destroyed we have asked for the census to be repaired but the government hasn't scheduled it yet. there was a. film stars and big movie companies are threatening to boycott the u.s. state of georgia which offers attractive tax breaks for the industry over a new law prohibiting abortion after 6 weeks of pregnancy and weather while the likes of disney in that flick some warner adopt a firm moral stance in the us they seem somewhat less principled when operating a broader scale or more but expects. as the state of georgia imposes restrictions on abortion a number of multinational corporations have decided to take a stand and no longer do business with the state among them disney netflix and warner media either give it becomes law it will be very difficult to produce or

rather doubt we will we have many women working on productions in georgia whose rights along with millions of others will be severely restricted by this law should it ever come into effect would rethink our entire investments in georgia if the new law holds we will reconsider georgia as the home to any new productions but how consistent are these corporations for example netflix recently blocked an episode in saudi arabia as a favor to the monarchy crown prince mohammed bin salon aka m.p.'s was hailed as the reformer of the arab world needed but the revelations about to show his killing have shattered that image was strongly supported to 6 freedom world was only remove the saudi arabia after we had received a valid legal request but saudi arabia is not exactly a haven for women's rights and progressive thinking on its face it's pretty ironic because those. pretty egregious human rights issues is more about a political game those plea as being plea rather than any kind of actual feelings

towards the issue and then there's warner media they have a very longstanding relationship with the kingdom of saudi arabia and fact prince our lead been to a wall was a 5 percent shareholder in time warner at one point and what does that they've been known to put on performances of their best known acts in box rain the last one just over a year ago. course they never really considered the laws of these u.s. aligned autocratic kingdoms for example there's one law that legalizes rape just so long. as marriage follows the crime when you talk in the greater issues abortion guns rights things like that they should stay away from me but again it goes. part of you you would it be culturally to hide your brand recognition out there in the

world and also to position yourself better in a particular place where you doing business do this day gain the middle east you know a lot of money comes from saudi u.a.e. and that going to go over there is a particular things because they know a net part of the world this would not be tolerated but we talking about the bigger company does the is so if you still have to be. in some of the high level executives to preserve their own image for any kind of potential political run in the future and also for the overall image of the greater company disney yes these american mainstream media and entertainment conglomerates love to virtue signal and act like they're sticking it to george and to the republicans however just like their wheeling and dealing with middle eastern petro autocracies it seems like their recent outrage over abortion has more to do with marketing than with principles and hard to see new york. funny liverpool fans will be

politicking throughout the night after the team want to historic 6 title and literate. i mean the. the reds defeated tommy haas but 2 nil in the scoring for liverpool from the penalty spot after just 2 minutes so if the sheets sealed the victory in the 87th and it with a sharp left footed strike to end towton strain of a 1st european champions league title. that wrap things up for this hour indeed it's over may for the saving to stick around my colleague nicky arundel have updates for you at the top of. this and petersburg international economic forum is a unique event in today's business world. over the last 21 years the forum has

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 diced on what they think you should be seeing if they have this kind of power then democracy is an illusion the free and fair election doesn't exist the more rope we give them the sooner we are all. you have to have been to see the show for you oh my god i just peed myself a little bit yes 100 and s. is a god do you know are americans in america covering american news or cold foreign agents

and serve cure voting with the election guard. i mean could anything be safer than something called election guard it's got guarded right during the day. it's a strong and trustworthy as crotch guard. this is an actual oil meant to be sprayed on your junk i'm unclear as to why you spray it on your junk. maybe to secure your actions. because they've been microsoft. and that is my favorite joke i've ever written. anyway microsoft is for you staying there or like you can guard software on us and worry not that we'll be tied down by having to laboriously publicly debate whether this is what we want we're not knowing the elections acknowledged is already set to be adopted by half
