took place at about 1 pm local time when the perpetrator opened fire nearby the synagogue killing one woman and injuring many others just it's interesting to point out the person here was using using a submachine gun to kill and injure the people it is also believed that the perpetrator also threw a grenade near a jewish cemetery according to reports it is believed that there are more than one perpetrators and that they're been wearing bulletproof vests and they were carrying multiple weapons with them the police have currently apparently arrest that one of the suspects but believe that there been more than one in the incident and think that at the moment they are at large and that they're heading towards a light so they are courage ing any person and all the people the living in the city of holly and the nearby towns to stay indoors or to nearby safe places one

thing here that is very interesting to note that today actually marks the day of the poor which is the holiest day on the jewish calendar which pretty much means that even the people that don't go to the synagogue today will be the day that they will go. eventually bring us the latest thank you. and other news thousands are protesting against austerity and i quit earth capital for a 6th consecutive day earlier the government in quito relocated to the country's 2nd city amid unrest and violent clashes was. god. was. the protests were triggered by the removal of fuel subsidy as as part of a loan deal with the international monetary fund many of the demonstrators come from poor and indigenous communities from all across ecuador and donovan reports

from quito. yet another day of violent clashes between protesters and police forces here in ecuador what we've seen today is the indigenous communities thousands and thousands of people that came from different parts of ecuador here to the capital to protest there was a moment of tension when they stormed the national assembly the 1st few moments after that they were dispersed and we saw massive clashes between rioters and police we spoke to some of the people here and this is what they had to say let's take a listen it will be the government is a traitor and a lot of what we want is. not what you do not have power and we will ask it's going to be all we have without any shame it means we're going to get rid of traits that you will fight till the end you could die you will do it he will finally unity at least one person has died and there's been dozens of injured among protesters and

police officers president moreno who is in quiet kill said that the violence was instigated by his predecessor rafael career and venezuelan president nicolas maduro the tyrant maturer has activated along with korea the destabilization plan. there the corrupt who have felled the food stamps of just disclosing the to make them they're the ones behind this attempted coup the target but this is the merino also said that he is willing to negotiate a solution to the crisis with the indigenous movement the government has also ordered a curfew in areas close to government buildings insta t.j. can still ations the order prevents public access to these areas between 8 pm and. 5 am local time while the national state of emergency remains the indigenous people that are protesting here very clear they won't move until lenin merino suspends the

economic measures that hurt him so much they say that will they will stay here they will protest and they were. talking to r.t. a former ecuadorian president rafael correa says that the government is trying to shift the blame for the current unrest. it's a difficult time for my home and this shows the politics of merino in his government he's already been in power for 2 and a half years and he still blames korea for everything economic crisis for security for his political faults and to say that these mass protests of my fault is just crazy it's. nothing that is in the name or a no is not interested in democracy for him the most important thing is to control power control the ecuadorian public so he create projects that can damage the majority would be beneficial for his goals. nor inclusive of the i.m.f.

we're juggling numbers and fooled people by distorting the amount of ecuador's debt belgium's debt where i live now amounts to 100 percent of g.d.p. eventually the i.m.f. had to publicize real debt numbers i left my presidential post at the beginning of 2017 after that the debt started growing but the problem doesn't even lie with the debt it's all a sham from the start merinos government betrayed the economic program and in general the political program to which people get their votes for. it is in your thirty's you know that man cancelled the previous government program he thought they could create something new and better than before but they achieved only destruction we left ecuador's economy in a state of growth it was like that until 20172018 this year will see a decline unemployment's risen that lead to instability 500000 ecuadorians are facing poverty yet again and now these austerity measures they are justified by any

external factors. russia's foreign minister has accused the us of being unreliable casting doubt during a joint media conference with us cause a counterpart on donald trump's promise to withdraw american troops from northern syria. reports. just as earlier this week the russian foreign minister was traveling around iraq talking to officials in baghdad and also the kurdish autonomy region in this country things that we kept on hearing from ankara and washington really put the region includes panic mode the turkish president bared one hinted that his army is just one step away from entering syria to start an offensive against the kurdish militias there however there is one big obstacle to u.s. troops on the ground however a little later donald trump tweeted that his soldiers are ready to get out of there and that was really something that baffled the kurds they called it

a stab in the back although donald trump eventually pedal back and said that they were only relocating several dozen troops and in fact we kept on hearing mixed messages from the state department pentagon and the president himself so i asked the russian foreign minister what he thinks about these kind of contradictions and how it's possible to work with the americans when this is the case. with news it's hard to say what's wrong with america's actions in syria but they are riddled with contradictions and exhibits the impossibility of negotiating with washington donald trump claimed he would withdraw u.s. troops from syria and other countries but after taking office he's gone back on those promises and my guess is it will be the same this time around such a frivolous approach can aggravate tensions in the entire region and so must be avoided we've repeatedly told the us this thought they'd understood but nothing's

changed. another important point that the russian top diplomat made was the fact that at the end of the day everything will have to be agreed with the government in damascus which is a difficult task for all the parties on the ground but it will be up to them not up to those who are leaving syria if we are to believe the american president now when it comes to the tricky relationships between the americans and the kurds there was a history of real ups and downs and here's a report by my colleague don of on that it seemed impossible sounded like crazy to all and yet it happened a moment of unity between republicans and democrats as they both condemned america's disloyalty to its kurdish allies the person who united states is in danger of losing the mandate of heaven this is that.

which allies in syria or elsewhere in the middle east will fully trust the word of president trump in the future the thing all of these politicians pundits and channels seem to forget though is that the kurds i used to waking up to a groundhog day of american betrayal the only difference is that it's been going on for more than half a century and hasn't been funny at all. in the fifty's and early sixty's the cia pushed the kurds to revolt against baghdad as part of the efforts to overthrow their leader a bill karim kasim eventually he was toppled by but the new ruler wasn't a big fan of ideal of kurdish independence so he bombed them into submission bombed with napalm kindly provided by the united states.

the kurds seem to either have a short memory or a for. giving heart because in the 70s the u.s. was back on their good side iraq and iran were involved in a border dispute and washington was correctly supplying the minority with weapons once again pitching them against baghdad but then iraq and iran kissed and made up and all of a sudden the kurds were on their own being blown to pieces as they are supposed transatlantic guardian angel was watching idly even the americans at the time admitted that keeping their involvement under wraps was simply no excuse this policy was not imparted to our clients who were encouraged to continue fighting here in the context of covert action ours was a cynical enterprise hoovered action should not be confused with missionary work. fast forward to the eighty's and for the us it was the golden decade of big hair

metallic amadan and m.t.v. for the kurds it was well just another decade of more u.s. betrayal in the late eighty's saddam hussein unleashed his chemical arsenal against them an atrocity looking bound to draw the wrath of the world's policeman but it was still a long time before saddam was to turn from friend to foal so american wrath didn't go further than statements like these we want to maintain good political and economic relations with iraq but the issue of chemical weapons gets in the way of that. in 2003 it looked like the u.s. was finally ready to make amends for its decades of forsaking the kurds helping them was among the pretexts for the invasion of iraq but then even in washington many took such goals with a pinch of salt the kurds have every reason to believe or think it will be true.

again but the united states are so often in the past contract the spectacle of our inviting turks in to this war earlier trying to bribe them into it could not have been reassuring to the kurds even under the turks before what i'm against betraying the kurds that is your point yeah surely your point isn't that because we betrayed them in the past we should betray them this time not that we should just we will we will not will not yes they did in 2007 the us let turkey have its way with the kurdish rebels in iraq as ankara launched a lethal bombing raid against them this is of course nowhere near you full list by 2019 america had left the kurds for dead a few more times both in iraq and syria. american traditions go beyond partisan lines america loves having turkey on thanksgiving going to the pumpkin patch for halloween and launching fireworks on the 4th of july

screwing the kurds over is nothing but a decades long political tradition for america and they will abide by it be the democrat or republican still to come french farmers are demanding compensation after the government banned them from selling their produce in the wake of a major fire at a nearby chemical factory that story and more after the break. the world is driven by dreamers shaped by own person of those. thinks. we dare to ask.

what politicians do something. they put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to express an injury. or some want to be upset. that you'd like to be closer this is what the 43 in the morning can people get. interested always in the waters of. their ship. welcome back russia's justice ministry has cost fired a prominent anti-corruption angio as a foreign agent they were in

a station was founded by opposition figurehead aleksei and i'm only. during a check of the foundation's activities the russian ministry of justice established that it performs the functions of a foreign agent. don't quarter joins us live in the studio again for more on this now let's go back to the nitty gritty what exactly does being labeled a foreign agent mean well jackie a foreign agent is basically any organization that is that gets money from private citizens or organizations located abroad and works to the political benefit of their benefactor within the russian federation now these n.g.o.s that are labeled as foreign agents face more audits than regular and geos and actually have to declare their status on all official statements that the organization makes and what does novell news organization do that well we know that the anti corruption foundation is based in moscow and it was founded by opposition figure i would say no only and his organization receives funding from online donations but actually

back in our august it was suspected of laundering around 1000000000 rubles now investigators investigators say that the organization received this in foreign currencies between 20162018 which they transferred to russian bank accounts through a.t.m. machines now they didn't declare their status as a foreign agency which the law has demanded since july 2012 and the investigation is still going on but we still don't have confirmation connecting this to the justice ministry statement and the justice ministry has also not. confirmed what exactly was the reason that they were put on this foreign agents list has the ngo reacted to this decision we've got reactions from both the foundation's director ivan don of and the volley himself now they both claim that their organization is exclusively funded from donations made by russian citizens and they said that on social media and even accused of a lot of mir putin of directly ordering the justice ministry to put to put his

organization on the list of foreign agents so right now we're waiting to see if the just if the justice ministry will make some sort of response to these heavy accusations artie's teleporter think you for breaking that down for us. now to france where farmers in rwanda have been banned from selling their produce after a major fire at a local chemical plant the farmers are now seeking compensation from the government . the idea we've been affected by the cloud of smoke from the results extremes of the moment we've suspended the production and harvest of the vegetables because of this cloud because we can tell you know what substances infiltrated the soil.

and use a misleading to do the glaze they told us that there was no danger that all would be fine and there was no problem to nice after i found the local governments to treat banning all seals and the commercialization of our products in the specific so. soft to the place of liberals this attempt at 26 i throw the way between 10 and 1800 leaders in the field every day where demanding this is related to lube results may be covered by the state or there in short. a russian national dubbed by the west as the merchant of death and whose story inspired a hollywood film has told r.t.

up a pretty strong and consistent critique of the u.s. legal system and how he says it is being used against russian citizens who point to what he calls conspiracy laws as a method of imprisoning people not brashly committing crimes but for offhand comments made to undercover officers says he's not the only political prisoner being held and that the efforts of the russian embassy have definitely improved just circumstances it will not. archie new york. before we go we have an update on our breaking news now police in the german city of hall say that there were in fact 3 shootings in total 2 people have been confirmed killed one shooting occurred outside a synagogue another at a local come up well a 3rd took place 15 kilometers from the city there are also reports of a grenade being thrown in a jewish cemetery today is of course the holiest jewish holiday one man has been detained though earlier police had multiple armed suspects were at large we'll be
