tens of thousands take to the streets across the u.k.'s prime minister boris johnson's decision to suspend parliamentary head of the break deadline divides the nation further. tensions escalate between israel and lebanon following an exchange of missile strikes across the border. joining us this evening you're watching the weekly here on r.t. international. sunday marks the 15th anniversary of the deadliest terrorist attack in modern russian history happened at a school in the north of town of beslan russia's north caucasus region where more than a 1000 people were taken hostage 334 were eventually killed many of them children.

the victims are being commemorated in beslan today people are laying flowers near the school which has become a monument to those events words of condolence have been coming in from around the world of us law and the 1st days of september each year and become a time for grief and mourning you may find some of the upcoming images disturbing.

meanwhile in beslan school candles have been lit to commemorate the victims our correspondent dan hawkins reports from the scene. for nearly 3 days most hostages were kept in this building the sports hall the terrorists lined the room with explosives hanging bombs from the basketball hoops on the ceiling it's thought one of these detonations on the 3rd day triggered a gunfight between the hostage takers and security forces the bullet holes on the walls the charred remains of the ceiling which caught fire better estimates to what happened after. the thief. is a small town 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 tend to the wounded parents and teachers who decided to stay with the children and police officers who tried to save those who they could. every year become a hero and to the grave site in fact there is a cemetery every month people were very understanding they were coming from all over russia and nearby countries i would not want to events like these 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. it's very important for one of the memory and remember the events in order for this horrible tragedy to never happen again i came here today with my daughter she asked

me herself to bring her here i think it's so important to remember people come here to leave wreath of flowers soft toys and 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 with 2 d. hydrated and weak to even be able to move. i. even people who've left the town come back here every year. come here to find answers clearer picture of what actually happened but most come here to outpour their grief to get some closure and most importantly like the sign says above the

entrance door remember that this must never happen again. we've 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 shared their memories for a new r.t. documentary. this is true but the c.r. is the last part of job must look at all of us now more of that to get us on our news a whole gritty way to you know to destruct i'm going to we have bluffs there's still a snake of get a wish for a new new syria man ranch back then i am the. son you member states comes to. you to occur to me at portrush for you today. to be able to share. or to call to do so if your remarks are a bonus for save you from the precious leader was the dishes you were the world style opposed to going to music osnos to would not like this

a bit else. here but there's a bit in the choice to buy. implosion kind of stuff anybody keester down to old nick you was a picardy it was still you with a pretty daughter. usually. without. the name of god just died cannot you please list some on what to look good with just shit is it that appears to. be old news lucia. eat. sleep for the replies to mr g.'s show bluto we paid our each applies to quit at the wireless. push to try me up for. the service all over. the better of you which cold call it in. session when you're called on the flop. oh you're going up here with the lies to

school the school. yard socialists where you see that the based industries in b.c. i was quite a shock. but. i know what you mean but the mistake was they were. put them to it your spirit will do it you seem to be what you believe it is that it's a student actually of course on a personal course to revoke or should stop him spitting. suppressed shit. and you can watch the documentary in full on our website dot com. the u.k. is more divided than ever of brigs it is not today so tens of thousands take to the

streets in cities across the country the prime minister announced that he'd suspend parliament head of the e.u. divorced decision means m.p.'s will have less time to debate and didn't fluids the way the u.k. leaves the e.u. some say it is only way to get briggs it over the finish line others say it's undemocratic to tailor explodes. boris johnson is being well boris he's being bold as brass and he wants breakfast come what may rather tired so what do 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 into october the 31st before getting on with our plans to take this country forward we are going to have a queen's speech and we're going to do it all october 14th and we've got to move ahead with a new legislative program but why can't the lawmakers a quick refresher if you've been avoiding the news because you just can't take the

b. word anymore for a number 1010 and to resume a husqvarna getting away from it all hiking in the swiss alps spent 3 years trying to deliver correct set off to the referendum something we are definitely clear on bricks it means bricks it bricks it needs frex it wrecks it means bricks it and we'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 for how water then she found that brussels wasn't very happy about how to bit the old blighty and wouldn't budge on key points like the irish backstop to maintain a seamless. quarter on the emerald isle they managed to thrash out a deal though and may tried 3 times to push it through parliament no luck so she shut a tear and left i do so with no ill will but with enormous and enduring gratitude to have had the opportunity to serve the country i love.

and to boris johnson ardent bricks a tear and leave can't figure head 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 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 has been 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 to blame any problems on others and he will be patted on the back for delivering bricks when an election that's what he sees boris johnson should do everything he can. to get breaks 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 destroying 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 parliament. democracy that's a part me taking back control but then this is boris johnson who's never been one for the 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

it's going to get his way. away from brussels altie. so to the middle east israel has been a military squad in southern lebanon forces 100 artillery shells along with battle helicopters with details now from tel aviv based on the lower and eyes are. well the whole event really started and ended with one just 2 hours at around $415.00 local time a few anti to take projectiles were fired toward northern israel from lebanon by hezbollah they soon admitting that they were the ones that fired the projectiles the i.d.f. almost immediately said there were no casualties in that launch but they did respond with more than 100 of their own projectiles into lebanon both airstrikes as well as artillery those airstrikes coming from attack helicopters netanyahu said in a statement it's very soon after that there wasn't even

a scratch on any of those soldiers but an i.d.f. ambulance that was hit in a position near the northern keep a military position right beside documents which is right on the israel lebanon border now that initial projectile from from hezbollah in lebanon was in response to an attack in syria last week by israel that killed 2 hezbollah operatives operating from syria so they immediately said that this event was in response to those soldiers dying last week group because what we've seen is that things sort of . well. and or operations against syria well let's not forget that israeli air force is read regularly by lady liberty so space. all the way to city where it is. claims to be you know i mean. i think we are old with

a single much greater problem much related to the cold flick that is brewing to right now. commemorations for the 80th anniversary of the beginning of world war 2 are taking place in slovenia this sunday other stories coming up after the show right.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race in this spear in dramatic development only and. i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical. to sit down in. welcome back earlier this week a judge in oklahoma ruled that the drug maker johnson and johnson is responsible for driving the state's opioid crisis and ordered it to pay

a $572000000.00 fine he said the pharmaceutical giant run a false and dangerous marketing campaign was downplayed the risk of addiction and directly contributed to deaths since then johnson has said that it will appeal but decision another pharmaceutical company purdue farmer has also come under fire this week and recently unsealed court documents it was revealed the company funded advocacy organizations which service front groups screenshots of e-mail correspondence published in a multi district opioid lawsuit and led to accusations the giant corporation who caused america's biggest drug epidemic we reached out to purdue pharma for comment we await their response the company itself has admitted those people affected should seek help as soon as possible while purging farm are prepared to defend itself vigorously in the abio. the company has made clear that it sees little good coming from here so it's a geisha in the pills that people and communities affected by the opiate crisis

need help now. in the 1990 s. prescriptions for painkillers were made readily available as pharmaceutical companies assured doctors that the patients would not become addicted but it quickly became clear many people were in fact becoming dependent with jess from opioid overdoses reaching a record high of 4202016 and the following year the government declared a public health emergency currently an estimated 130 americans die every single day as a result of opioid medicine abuse the crisis is also placing a huge strain on the u.s. economy and reportedly encouraging high rates of heroin use addiction specialist i know them to told us that both the pharmaceutical industry and doctors have failed in their duties to customers and patients. while doctors certainly there are some responsibility for the opioid 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 massacre that was eagerly adopted by produced by johnson and johnson by janssen by t.v. or 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. following sunday's clashes in hong kong the day ended with a heavy police presence on the streets protesters that early gathered at hong kong international airport setting up barricades through roads that lead to the terminal trains through the city to the airport was suspended along with some bus services

train stations also vandalized by protesters. so they start use came after violent protests on saturday as people took to the streets despite a planned protest being banned the authorities of war that they want taking part in saturday's action could face prosecution u.s. president donald trump why didn't the situation saying the anti beijing protests should be handled in a humane fashion i think if it weren't for the trade. would be a much bigger trouble i think it would have been what i really believe john what. a very bad position. this. way of handling the problems that i'd let him know that. the terms words didn't go down well with the chinese foreign ministry saying that he'd shown empathy with what it calls radicalized protests this friday to more protests leaders were arrested on suspicion of organizing unauthorized rallies but they were released on bail one of

them joshua long was pictured earlier this month meeting a u.s. consular official which reminded suspicions western governments are meddling in hong kong. professor the shanghai international banking and finance institute benjamin chali is convinced the unrest in hong kong is supported by external actors . to violent protesters. increase to violence in order to compensate for the decrease in the number of a lot of peaceful protesters who are quickly turning their backs on the most violent ones out there they learn the true nature of their most violent warns some of which are seem very professional engaged or supported by external and you can clearly your client traces of the report choreographed scripts and responses in india it was with a western press the choice of wording and his response we're really used by any holcombe teenagers they are very professional so physical.

commemorations throughout the eighty's and of her story of the start of world war 2 began this week in slovenia an eternal flame was lit at a memorial built in honor of soviet and slovenian soldiers taught shoes was brought all the way from russia was itself from the eternal flame at the tomb of the unknown soldier next to the kremlin presented to us from the russian embassy as well this russian is living in veterans were among those attending the ceremony is a reminder of slovenia's plight under nazi occupation.

the ceremony in slovenia is meant to serve as a reminder of the soviet union's role in the liberation of europe from nazi germany and the price both nations paid some of the veterans who attended the event memories of the war with us. let me. i joined to the liberation front in 1942 and 4th for its till the end of the war battalion were carried after greatest

number of attacks against the nazis at the age of 17 i was the commander of the italian i still remember how we fought against the italians we took a position on a hill just minutes before they came we had to fight back with grenades it was hard to shoot their battalion managed to break down their resistance and won the battle we were very brave back then or what happened in those days should never again be repeated in the history of humanity was slow me russia slovenia yugoslavia all of the fraternal nations were fighting against the nazis back then i was a part of that i still remember how we were recapturing weapons in provisions from our enemy just to keep the resistance alive i'm sure that what happened during the times of war will never be repeated with passing this horrible experience from generation to generation to our children and grandchildren. about with updates for you in half an hour's time.

years thanks. dear to. make this manufacture consent to public wealth. when the ruling classes to protect themselves. when the financial merry go round lifts only the one percent. of the time we can

all middle of the room signals. tomorrow morning real news. how why a paradise with some all year round turned into a round the experimentation field for agricultural chemicals we know that these chemicals have consequences they are major irritants 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 research going on in hawaii whether these companies feel

they can get away with this because the people have less political power. thank.

you. everyone's story is different every one of half is different you don't know what's actually going to hit you. and i was pretty comfortable in my life before this happened. certainly dobbs ferry. got me into this. you know i was a middle child and contrary he was the day. this is some day he was doing to just you know make sure he can money in his pocket. it was like we had to look out for them but nothing happened to to the bait. i just hope that people can understand that he was a person who didn't deserve to die who didn't deserve to be shot 14 times.

then they laughed my coworkers time out how they were going to call again and i said you know if he was doing something illegal they wouldn't have just walked away and left him there. a 2nd call was made anyhow. and the officers actually came back up to us and they said hang there's nothing to enforce he's not preaching the law please stop calling. and honestly i even forgot to tell later when the 3rd officer showed up. oh well we were towed when the call k. though days facts it went to the beat cabs. and left a message on the beat cops self. parked this off.
