as prime minister boris johnson's decision to suspend parliament ahead of the brics a deadline divides the nation further. and the russian military claims the u.s. carried out an air strike in syria province without giving notice thereby violating established agreements. this is the weekly here on our t.v. welcome to our roundup of the headlines that shape the week along with today's top news sunday marks the 15th anniversary of the deadliest terror attack in modern russian history it happened at a school in the north ascension town of beslan and russia's north caucasus region for more than i thought was and people were taken hostage 334 people were a bunch of killed many of them being children.

today the victims are being commemorated in beslan people are laying flowers and lighting candles near the school which has become a monument to those about and words of condolences have been coming in from around the world for the 1st days of september each year has become a time for grief and mourning and warning you may find some of the following images upsetting.

survivors are expected to meet with their rescuers in the old school building later today our correspondent daniel hawkins reports from the scene. for nearly 3 days most hostages were kept in this building the sports hall the terrorists law in the room with explosives hanging from the basketball hoops on the ceiling it's thought one of these definitions on the day triggered a gunfight between the hostage takers and security forces people to a holes on the walls of the charred remains of the ceiling which called for a better estimate of what happened often. as a small child. just under 40000 people it's hard to find a family here that wasn't either directly affected or knows somebody who was. the

room was full of people who perhaps were involved in the scene medics who ran towards the fire to turn to the wounded parents and teachers who decided to stay with the children and police officers who tried to save those who they could. people come here to leave wreath of flowers soft toys but interestingly bottles of drinks. there is a tragic story behind that to. take is denied the victims any food or water for 3 whole days when people had a chance to escape many of them were 2 d. hydrated and weak to even be able to move. even people who've left the town come back here every year so i'm here to find answers clearer picture of what actually happened but most come here to our poor their grief to get some closure and most importantly why the sign says above the entrance door remember that this must never

happen again. every year we come here to the grave site in fact we visit the cemetery every month people were very understanding they were coming from all over russia and nearby countries i would not want events like this to unite people but it does. i think it's impossible to forget something like this 334 people died and so many children among them is it possible to forget it. is very important for all of the memory and remember the event in order for this horrible tragedy to never happen again i came here today my daughter she asked me herself to bring her here but obviously i did it only when she was mature enough i've also been talking to those who were held hostage and to those who took part in the security operation they went back to the school and share their memories for a new r 2 documentary. this is trust but the yarra is

being bold as brass and he wants breakfast come what may rather. what you do when parliament what paypal you suspend it he needed how much permission to do that which he thought we don't get a week until october the 31st before getting old with plans to take this country forward we're going to have a queen's speech and we're going to do it all ok but the 14th and we've got to move ahead with a new program but why don't the lawmakers a quick refresher if you've been avoiding the news because you just can't take the b. word anymore full a number 1010 and to resume a who's carney getting away from it all hiking in the swiss alps spent 3 years trying to deliver bracks it off to the referendum something we are definitely clear on bricks it means bricks it bricks it needs frets it bricks

it means bricks it and where you're going to make a success of it but parliament had other ideas patchy shouting have doubt even what have heard a key point how to reach it for how. when she found that russell's wasn't very happy about how to bit to old blighty and wouldn't budge on key points like the irish backstop to maintain a seamless border on. aisle they managed to thrash out a deal and may tried 3 times to push it through parliament no luck so she shared a tear and left i do so with no ill will but with enormous and even during gratitude to have had the opportunity to serve the country i love. and to boris johnson. and leave can't think it had johnson promised to take the u.k. out of the european union by how do we do you don't know and that's really all riled so where are we now well just 2 months from b.

day and with parliament due to be suspended before it's even got going and p.s. will only have 2 weeks to try to block a no deal bracks said everyone's crying foul saying it's a constitutional crisis others though have just had enough he's gone on for so long now we just need to get on with it because it's just causing more trouble whole process is discussed in. parliament is being bypassed and. not democratic it's a catastrophe so anybody who tried to bring it in would be courting disaster anyway we should get what the people voted for i think it's a constitutional outrage he wants to see. you know winston churchill said you know . self-important little man will blame any problems on others and he will be patted on the back for delivering bricks and win an election that's what he says boris johnson should do everything he can. to get back for if you can't get it through he's out although where is cynics point out that what's really on democratic ah

m.p.'s in westminster spending 3 years in piles of taxpayers' money by dithering over to leg breck said ok perhaps it was a little rogue to disrupt the queen's summer holiday in scotland and maybe suspending parliament was quite drastic for what's supposed to be a parliamentary. see that's apparently taking back control but then this is boris johnson who's never been one for a convention and it has been 3 years already just about every hour for new explored every negotiation tactic used every amendment can sit so maybe just maybe bush is going to get his way bill days britain away from brussels altie london. the russian military says the u.s. carried out an air strike in syria's province without 1st giving notice there by violating quote all agreements my colleague interferometer discuss what happened

with his run gusta. why is russia so angry over this because on the face of it you could argue look america is targeted and you have a training camp what's wrong with that we're just a little bit of background had been a bitter battleground for many months now the syrian army against rebels jihad the syrian army coming out on top taking a number of strategic towns but throughout all of these months the united states europe had been demanding calling for a cease fire yesterday at 6 o'clock in the morning 31st of august a cease fire was unilaterally called by syria its forces stopped everywhere no more offensive maneuvers its air force was grounded unilateral cease fire backed by russia backed by turkey a few hours after the cease fire took place 2 cold the united states carried out a wave of air strikes on where it says it was targeting an al qaeda training

camp russian intelligence russian the russian military on the other hand says what they hit was a number of settlements populated areas and left a lot of casualties there are multiple victims within populated areas that were targeted by the u.s. airstrike it was carried out in violation of all agreements as washington failed to inform russia or turkey about its intentions united states was saying it was targeting. members who were threats to u.s. citizens to allies and to innocent civilians but because this is aside from the fact that you know the basically undermine the ceasefire because the jihad is became confused they started shooting at the syrian army the syrian army didn't shoot back the russians say but aside from that there was this also the fact that this was the russians say very unprofessional because there's a procedure in place whenever you carry out an airstrike in syria you warn turkey

russia the united states whoever this is. to avoid unnecessary escalations risks in the air the united states knew that there was a ceasefire taking hold just a few hours before and didn't inform the russia. that it was going to carry out these strikes which leaves both countries with a lot of questions meanwhile the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov has said both moscow and we'll stick to the arrangements regarding the deescalation zone despite the u.s. strike we've asked the u.s. department of defense to comment on the matter but have not received an answer political analysts use of things washington ought to have notified russia and turkey. at a time when the regime had hoped to deescalate and call for a unilateral ceasefire which was greatly welcomed by turkey and russia this type of attack does cause concern could have been carried out at a more ideal time it could have been carried out in cooperation with the russians

and the turks which would have probably made the attack even more successful and more acceptable on behalf of all parties keep it a secret when it serves everybody's interests that still remains a question to me but yes it definitely does cause concern when there is all this talk of a cease fire in the region to see drums about bombs dropping back out of the sky again in civilians obviously concerned in causing more migration north. following a night of violence and clashes with police hong kong protesters resume their rally on sunday. so you. put it. earlier protesters gathered at hong kong international airport setting up barricades to block roads leading to the terminal trains leaving the city to the airport were suspended along with some bus services and the train station was also vandalized by protesters demonstrations were initially sparked in june by a proposed bill that would allow extradition to mainland china. still to come

commemorations for the 80th anniversary of the beginning of world war 2 are taking place in slovenia a cover that and more after the break. join

me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to us from the world of politics or business i'm show business i'll see you then. welcome back earlier this week a judge in oklahoma ruled that the drug maker johnson and johnson is responsible for driving the state's opiate crisis and ordered it to pay a $572000000.00 fine he said the pharmaceutical giant had run a false and dangerous marketing campaign which downplayed the risk of addiction and

directly contributed to deaths johnson and johnson has said it will appeal the decision another pharmaceutical company and purdue pharma has also come under fire this week and recently unsealed court documents it was revealed that the company funded ag advocacy organizations which served as front groups screenshots of e-mail correspondence published in a multi district opiate lawsuit have led to accusations the giant corporation caused america's biggest drug epidemic and response to the accusations produced pharma itself admits that people who were affected should seek help as quickly as possible while burgess farmer is prepared to defend itself vigorously in the all feel it's a geisha and the company has made clear that it sees little good coming from years of wasteful it's a geisha and appeals to people and communities affected by the opiate crisis need help now. in the late 1990 s. prescriptions for painkillers were made readily available as pharmaceutical companies assured doctors that their patients would not become addicted but it

quickly became clear that many people were becoming dependent with dust from opiate overdoses reaching a record high of 42000 in 2016 now the following year the government declared a public health emergency currently an estimated 130 americans die every day as a result of the opiate medicine abuse crisis is also placing a huge strain on the u.s. economy and reportedly encouraging higher rates of hair are in use addiction specialist and told us that both the pharmaceutical industry and doctors have failed and their duties to consumers and patients. well doctors certainly there are some responsibility for the opiate epidemic but i think to really understand how this happened in the united states it's necessary to realize that a whole generation of physicians was educated to believe that opioids are not addictive as long as you're giving them to a patient in pain and this was a message that was eagerly adopted by produced by johnson and johnson by janssen by

t.v. by many other opioid manufacturers why because it helped their bottom line to sell more opioids so certainly doctors have to be reeducated as they are now they have to withhold opioids they have to stop prescribing opioids for ankle sprains for chronic pain conditions we would not want the pendulum to swing in the opposite direction and for people who really need opioids not to be able to get them so finding some kind of middle ground is going to be essential. commemorations to mark the 80th anniversary of the start of world war 2 began this week in slovenia and eternal flame was let out a memorial built in honor of soviet and soviet soldiers the torch use was brought all the way from russia and was itself lift from the eternal flame at the tomb of the unknown soldier next to the kremlin representatives from the russian embassy as well as russian and slipping in veterans were among those attending the ceremony here's a reminder of food be misapplied under nazis occupation. the

you know world of big partisan movie lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that made stream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the bats and 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. know why a paradise with some around turned into a round the experimentation field for agricultural chemicals we know that these chemicals have consequences they are major here tens there's no question otherwise why would that the chemical company workers themselves be geared up that suited up locals attempt to combat the on regulated experiments that often in day you have many of these people who have one foot into the biotech pharma and the other foot

in the government regulatory bodies this kind of collusion is reprehensible while the battle goes on the chemicals continue to poison hawaii and its people so one has to ask the question whether there is a form of environmental racism going on in hawaii whether the. these companies feel they can get away with this because the people have less political power. when lawmakers manufacture consent instead of public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. when the fine and merry go round lifts only the one percent. doing all middle of the room signals. i mean real news
