the country mounts we speak to the president's spokesperson. any concrete cares about the border security you ought to be america's russians or anybody you have to take you to vote on board if. you're watching our 2 international coming to you live from the russian capital where it's just turned 7 pm welcome to the program. german interior minister horsey hoffer has promised to boost security and all of the country synagogues adding its germany's duty to never again allow the growth of anti-semitism he made the statements at a news conference in hall where 2 people were shot dead at a synagogue on wednesday vangelis success has more. or earlier today germany's federal prosecutor mentioned the perpetrator stefan who killed 2 people in germany was preparing a massacre we also know about in the vigil that he had

a manifesto and he posted it online with many anti jewish comments in it he also lifestream the incident to encourage other people to follow is that earlier today though germany's interior minister see a whole for spoke to the media saying that this event is quote shame to our nation he also mentioned that at the semitic attacks have been on the rise in germany and extremism is very high but he also mentioned that islamist terror is the central challenge for germany he also mentioned that he is working closely with germany's law enforcement agencies to make it more difficult for individuals to buy materials online to create weapons at their house just like the ones we saw at the attack yesterday german chancellor angela merkel shot meyer and see a whole for all out rage with the rise of extremism in germany. hate

racism and anti-semitism must not be present in our country and apart from the consistency of our constitutional state nothing can serve this goal better than a multifaceted civic commitment because to stand up against prejudices and hatred to stand up for its backed untold amounts to participate in. monterey services and other initiatives that makes us stronger as a society. germany made a promise to the whole world after world war 2 never again i feel deeply committed to this right now this federal government must do everything so the jews in our country can live with threats and fear about. it is not enough to condemn such a cowardly attack it must be clear that the state takes responsibility for jewish life for the security of jewish life in germany it must be equally clear the society society as a whole must show an attitude a clear. of solidarity with the jewish people in our country but this shooting

incident that took place here said it did not go on notice on the world stage prime minister benjamin netanyahu condemned the attacks saying that the rise of extremism and submitted extremism in europe is on the rise but not only him here in germany jewish german leader also said that he was very shocked with the lack of police presence at the synagogue on the whole the estate of the jewish calendar one cannot understand the tool is why the synagogue had no police protection on the most important jewish day of celebration had there been the shooter would with all likelihood have been prevented from committing a 2nd attack. politicians and community leaders will be holding sabbath tomorrow as well as a candlelight vigil in halle 'd but there are many more they're going to be taking place in cities across germany. we're joined live now by louis harrington anti terror expert and the author of the book drugs jihad and suicide terrorism and what

kind of impact attacks like the one we've seen in germany have on people. in terms of what the general public in terms of that section or quite sure what you mean yes exactly on the general public and especially the people in the country. well. i can't beat people as a psychologist you know my interest is in this individual in particular and so my analysis is very much as to whether or not this is a this is an individual attack it's part of some kind of campaign what strikes me about this individual is same age as the neo that had the average you know you had a terrorist 27 that is the average age is well but yet the modus operandi is a little bit different i don't think this this young man was actually looking to

die and said previously he wasn't looking to die what we know about the fact that he made the weapons were homemade was really telling german law says that anybody with a criminal record or with a mental instability cannot obtain firearms now we know he didn't have a criminal record which only leaves mental instability so. that the fact least he believes own weapon he's done all of that suggests that he may have got some kind of history of psychopathology in our respect you know what's interesting as well about his politics i don't think he was really particularly that interested in him targeting jewish people he said do it that he was it entirely in a mosque the fact that he streamed this on a gaming network suggests that this was actually taking him some kind of real life . kind of combat. he was he was doing that. it's to show off to our gamers i think i think we'll find that this is

a very lonely very sad individual who was really just trying to you also we really no self-esteem was trying to laugh. shards of this global. social movement of of constantly each trying to play our own and to to to to to outbid other people you've got like a craze now of people and you choose they're trying to have all these dangerous stunts and all these young people trying to outbid each other and i think for this hour you know that he latched on to what he thought would be an even more popular thing you know this idea of a global jewish conspiracy and there's a lot of people that are you know believing that it knows he'll get coverage from from doing it but no i think you'll find that this is somebody with a very troubled background he reminds me of the riley. and the 2 young man who got caught up in this sort of jihadi group and ended up blowing him

blowing up a cafe in exeter it's also been reported that he carried out that tack hoping to end spy or other people to do the same and of course this isn't the 1st attack of that kind that we've seen is this a pattern that we're going to start seeing emerging more than. we had the attack in christchurch the sort of star right our idea. it's not like old far right organized terrorism you know these aren't these see this individual that part of a group you know was the guy in christ. it is not like that sort of organized jihadi groups either we're seeing really who lone actors who are spending an inordinate amount of. time only even in the submission diving talk about how he was obviously struggling with life and he was he himself was a complete loser you know they'll always be individuals like this they will go with

the you know cause the juror whatever the the the ideology is at the time whatever is tweeting these people will pick up on but it's not you know we use the word terrorism but had you know as this isn't like the old texas like the ira your. mind you know this sort of the left wing organ is terrorism these troubled 'd young men in a society that is obsessed with social media there's obsessed with you tube influences people you know that are trying to find their place in that and so as i said i don't think in terms of your original question about how should i know the jewish people feel about this is that i don't think that lucy is this is a part of a campaign any kind of organized campaign it's very much sort of a lone act one man trying to get in for me very much like the christ church one who is harrington anti terror expert i thank you for very much for joining us on

the program. environmental action group extinction rebellion has been rallying and central london for a 4th day as part of a global campaign demanding governments take climate change more seriously since monday police have arrested on more than 800 people protesters have also tried to shut down london city airport but an activist in climbing onto a british airways plane he has been detained by airport security several other arrests were made and officers pulled away demonstrators who had glued themselves to the floor. and in new york meanwhile extinction extinction rebellion activists have blocked time square with protesters throwing themselves to a boat and after activists in melbourne australia blocked roads a woman broke into tears as she could not get to the home of her mother passed away on sunday. he's going to get stuck in. the lead up to it and i'm sitting he. just didn't even know what the run of that one of these unfold

it's for the environment and in case you missed it simon write questions whether the extinction rebellion group wants to save the world or just ruin your journey to work. the extinction rebellion hordes are back on the streets to save the world and your souls really need journey to 1st we'll take you to melbourne where stephanie anderson is standing by playing tennis things there they are blocking roads. absolutely divine or in fact the intensity is just ramping up the contents of them swearing at. wellington madrid paris and new york they bring news of apocalyptic death and destruction for all but the using tactics which are not personally popular like the one made by a man who are you worried. that you are scared to go to feeling hell's going to freeze over before these guys give it up and then again that is climate change.

in the event that you actually want to talk to one of these activists more likely to avoid one how do you support them well. you know what you support them in fact british prime minister brown stones and. when. i'm co-operative. they can vote right there's plenty of people out there wondering whether constantly antagonizing the general public is going to be successful when i say this work to me even noid me so much she went to find out what they're demanding demand number one the demonstrators are demanding the government tells the truth kids to love and perhaps we can get flying piggies to eat all the carbon and turn it into rainbows too. but the government

must act now to hold boiler diversity loss and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 2020. ok well that's pretty ambitious but you know in the art of they want to do it they want to cut down on the amount with flying enough one less holiday every year they want to cut down on the amount of dairy being produced by coffee for the grandkids and they want to come down on the amount of meat. who does a growing kids anyway. and demand 3 we have a national citizen simply on climate make logical just economy the idea is the citizens assembly is going to be made up of a cross-section of society and they probably know this guy let me. be honest i'm not sure democracy in a loaded gun is going to work on this one i think they need to start thinking differently. the books refused to give up. the future of

humanity. is at stake. ok although they've gone so you know and you deanna jones on this on. us t.v. star ellen de generous is forced to defend her friendship with former president george w. bush push that story and more after the break. join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to us from the world of politics sport that's less i'm show business i'll see you there.

welcome back turkey's military operation against kurds in northeast syria has

entered its 2nd day kurdish forces accuse ankara of targeting civilians and say 9 people have already been killed the international community is also condemning the offensive but president out of iran has threatened to send refugees in turkey to the e.u. if it continues to criticize anchor its actions. well. these countries are not honest they are not sincere they're just talking they talk the talk but we. this is the difference now our fight is against isis the y.p. ji and the p.k. k. we are continuing our fight with all of our own and we will continue to do so we have 3600000 syrian refugees in our country waiting to go back home hey european union come to our senses all saints again at the moment our operation you cannot define it as an invasion our job is easy we can open the door and 2600000 refugees we will send them all back to your. operation peace spring is aimed at fighting

kurdish forces and i saw in syria it looks 10 turkey's existing buffer zone in the country and plans to evict kurdish fighters from the area a group turkey deems as terrorists and then wants to return millions of syrian refugees from turkey back home we discuss the operation with the turkish president's spokesperson. we are not interested in changing demographics in order syria or occupying any part of syria we want to establish this safe zone for the safety of our citizens and also for the syrian refugees and the local people living in that part of syria. with the international. article 51 and our fight against terrorism if you are attacked from another country and that country doesn't take care of their parents threat then you are entitled to support yourself any country cares about the border security i mean you have to be americans russians or anybody we have to take care of our own borders you cannot

imagine a situation where americans will allow for example a branch of al qaida or along the american mexican border just because they are fighting against drug cartels you cannot fight one terrorist organization with another one the same goes true for russia if all european countries if the. threat to their national security from the border of course they're in place to speak after the 1st phase of the operation began with airstrikes on the 2 a kurdish controlled border towns across all and the kurds have ordered a general mobilization along the border with turkey vowing to confront the attack the operation is now in its 2nd phase a ground offensive thousands of civilians are fleeing the area and urged the international community to step in. america and other countries should protect us they are committing sin here our children women is there really no mercy let everyone stand up for us arabs foreigners sin sin you know this

is an occupation we are a peaceful people we live calmly work to our own business it is a crime hey look good on the bus real to the people here look at this car you see you soldiers there their issue will generate their own way man we are talking about this placement and effectively genocide of innocent kurdish civilians innocent communities within that region so it is absolutely terrifying to know how you know the communities are feeding as they are continually being bombarded by the turkish offensive the kurds have always been on the defensive but now they know they must defend themselves and their families which means that unfortunately they may not be able to police the camps that hold isis and the isis prisoners and also you know there are reports that actually within the camps there are some rebellions you know some isis rebellions going on so unfortunately the security threat is there for

then raised and you know it is now going to cause a big vacuum and a significant problem in terms of security. if as it falls president donald trump decision to withdraw u.s. troops from the region and everything statement he defended the move saying the kurds did not help the u.s. during world war 2. now the kurds are fighting for their land just so you understand they didn't help us in the 2nd world war they didn't help us with north normandy as an example american presidents have used the kurds both in iraq and syria and so on for the political games and then lost interest i think was president trump is trying to square the circle of agreeing to let part of the world with whom he'd like to have good relations pursue some of his goals without causing a public scandal by having large numbers of civilian casualties the risk of course is that civilians both in northern syria and even on the turkish sort of the border will get caught in the crossfire and then trump will feel that he has to show that

he's condemning that and he will as he mentioned he may then try to use economic pressure on turkey but this is going to be part of the destabilizing aspect of transform policy as i think for mr lavrov said yesterday even if you as the russians too would like the americans to withdraw from syria they don't want it done in a frivolous unpredictable destabilizing way and the problem with president trump swinging wildly from apparently greenlighting the turks and then perhaps warning them not to go too far is that everybody is left on shore what exactly american policy is going to be and that's a very dangerous situation given how important america is in the middle east. u.s. chat show star ellen de generous has been filmed sitting next to former president george w. bush at an n.f.l. football game and it seems that's not a problem despite their radically differing political views killed martin explains why. ellen de generous the liberal talk show host and defender of gay rights sitting next to george w. bush the conservative former us president who actually pushed for

a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriages who'd have thought they could be friends. after the twitter roddy pointed out the unlikely friendship ellen was quick to defend george i think i'm friends with george bush in fact i'm friends with a lot of people who don't share the same beliefs that i have we're all different and i think that we've forgotten that that's ok that we're all different just because i don't agree with someone on everything doesn't mean that i'm not going to be friends with him when i say be kind to one another i don't mean only the people that think the same way that you do i mean be kind to everyone now trying to bridge america's political gap is certainly admirable but does being kind to everyone include the man who allowed this to happen. 500 leaders of. unscom estimate that saddam hussein. 25000 leaders at this hour american and coalition forces are in the early stages of military operations to

disarm the iraqis to free its people and to defend the world's great danger. i mean i think you said i think george w. bush is a war criminal you know he sent all of these people to die and some of them came back. how did not sit on his i'm sorry until george w. bush is brought to justice for the crimes of the iraq war including american led torture iraqi deaths and displacement and the deep scars emotional and otherwise inflicted on our military that serves his folly we can't even begin to talk about kindness the weapons of mass destruction were fake news by the way but that's all in the past right a lot of american media personalities and celebrities are actually praising ellen for hanging out with they say it shows. bravery and common sense we would all do well in our lives to listen a little less to trump and those in the towards the left who think counseling

people is a way to improve anything and a little more to the likes of al and george w. bush how comforting to see a real president never thought his image would move me so come on republicans call on trump save democracy what's a horrific commentary about on times that ellen should even have to explain herself or hanging with president bush good for her what's remarkable about president bush's and ellen degenerates friendship is that it's remarkable in today's polarized society great example you don't have to share the same used to be friends we seem to be forgetting one important detail george w. bush after all has denounced donald trump that's what matters a leader can commit war crimes and be responsible for thousands of deaths but as long as they denounce the man in the oval office with his offensive hair and nasty words they're ok with the liberal establishment. bigotry seems emboldened our

politics seems more vulnerable to conspiracy theories we've seen nationalism distorted in that nativism. forgotten the dynamism that immigration is always brought to america torture illegal wars bombing civilians these things just start a red line once you're out of the white house a few years pass and you can be dancing with ellen degenerates as if it never happened these things are just a fact of life in america so why lose sleep but don't forget swinging against the donald is a way to win friends among the liberals that counts for more than anything a lot more than any of your deeds in the past. r.t. new york. that's a global news break down for this hour and that's all for me as well today thanks for tuning in wherever you maybe.

you are on the condition of the united states should remove the sanctions and then talks with a possible what's the united states refused to do so there's an increasing mistrust working arts and states because of the role of funds used to do it so there was a real concern that if you're wrong goes through the negotiation negotiations with united states and then the united states the younger fuses through the sanctions march the same. norsk. everything would be.

oh why a paradise with so much all year round turned into a round the experimentation field the agricultural chemicals we know that these chemicals have consequences they are major irritants there's no question otherwise why would the chemical company workers themselves be geared up that suited up locals attempt to combat the on regulated experiments but often in day you have many of these people 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.

but just. last chance to ask for the last company and seeing endemol today they are the facts promotion commission. rates are just shoot down does give them.

you know when you close the set on the. greetings and salutation. the federal bureau of investigations is reeling with the barest me this week oct watchers know i'm not i'm not talking about the news that mr higher loyalty i'm so former f.b.i. director james comey has been awarded his own brand new mini series based on his book about his firing as f.b.i. director by donald trump in the midst of russert gate starring joe daniels no not talking about that now this news is far more embarrassing and in any normal functioning society would produce massive reforms and firings it appears that our

good friends at the f.b.i. were found to be in appropriately using and abusing the data collected under the tories section 7 o 2 the foreign intelligence surveillance act ars technica reports that the united states foreign intelligence surveillance court actually ruled back in october of 2018 that the f.b.i. misused surveillance data to look into american residence including other f.b.i. employees and other family members making large scale queries that did not distinguish between u.s. persons and foreign intelligence targets and that the f.b.i. his actions were a major violation of the 4th amendment to our constitution that protects the decisions from on reasonable search and seizure these revelations even caught the eye of n.s.a. whistleblower edward snowden who tweeted wow the f.b.i. is running a warrantless internet surveillance program so flag really unconstitutional that even the secret rubber stamp court that approved 99.967 percent of surveillance requests over 33 years felt they couldn't turn

a blind eye my friends when your surveillance scanned.
