in the country mounts we speak to the president's spokesperson. any country cares about the border security i mean you have to be americans russians or anybody we have to take europe on board if you. could even welcome this is international. first this hour german interior minister of course a whole firehouse promised to boost security in all of the country synagogues adding it is germany's duty to never again allow the growth of anti semitism and made the statements at a news conference in hollow where 2 people were shot dead at a synagogue on wednesday evangelise cips us has more. or earlier today germany's federal prosecutor mentioned the perpetrator stefan who killed 2 people and how they 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 and that 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 respect and tolerance 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 without threats and fear about. it is not enough to condemn thoughts or 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 that society society as a whole must show an attitude a clear. 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 semitic 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 what i cannot understand a 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 how late 'd but there are many more that are going to be taking place in cities across germany. environmental action group extinction rebellion has been rallying in central london for a 4th day as part of

a global campaign demanding governments take climate change more seriously since monday police arrested more than 800 people protesters tried to shut down london city airport with one activist even climbing onto a british airways plane he's been detained by airport security several arrests were made and officers pulled away demonstrators who glued themselves to the floor of the london rallies were ongoing extinction rebellion activists block time square in new york protesters there having glued themselves to a boat and after activists in melbourne australia blocked the roads a woman broke into tears when she couldn't get to the home of her mother who passed away on sunday. it was good to know my dad's like instead of organizing all the cleanup that he did and i'm sitting here with. him i don't even know what the run of that line was in for it's for the environment author and sociology professor frank furedi says that many activists seem to care about the effect their actions have on people interesting thing about this kind of protest is that it appeals to

a certain section of society. they are british politics is divided into different bubbles and people who identified with the exposure of billions will not care if there are destruction of the people's lives or do an upside down. idea was to put up with this even though it might be inconvenient i think a lot of people you know the rest of society is very irritated the often feel that they have to censor themselves after all to a lot of people with thing done these demonstrators are a bunch of children. who are who demand a lot of attention but don't do anything constructive but they're almost afraid to wars to conserve ink is they are denounced for not caring about the arab and i think what happens now is are you going to mention the word owner and nobody rolls over it's almost like seeing the devil you know sort of hell and people just react as if it was some guy who are religious cause that you cannot criticize. in the

case you missed it assignment right questions whether the extinction rebellion group wants to save the world or just ruin your journey to work. the extinction rebellion holds back on the streets to save the world and your souls through a new journey to 1st will take you to melbourne where stephanie anderson is standing by it's been 10 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 they using tactics which are not personally popular like the true one made by man why do you read. that you are scared to think i've got a feeling hell is 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 well. in fact british prime minister brown stones and. to win them i'm co-operative crusties you know so i 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 it's worked on me i'm annoyed me so much my she went to find out what they're demanding demand number one the demonstrators are demanding the government tells the truth kids got to love him 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 as pretty ambitious but you know no out of they want to do it they want to cut down on the amount will fly enough one less hold every year they want to cut down on the amount of dairy being produced by coffee for the grandkids and they want to cut down on the amount of meat we're all and loves the grandkids anyway. and demand 3 we have a national citizen family on climate make logical just only the idea is this citizens' assembly is going to be made up of a cross-section of society though probably not this guy let me. be honest i'm not sure democracy in a load in a large white line 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. account though they go hand solo new d.n.a. jones on this right. took his military operation against kurds in northeast syria has entered its 2nd day kurdish forces accused of targeting civilians as a 9 people have already been killed international community is also condemning the offensive presence ridge of tire bedouin has threatened to send refugees in turkey so the european union if it continues to condemn anchor its actions. well that's. these countries are not honest they are not sincere they're just talking they talk the talk but we walk the walk 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 honor 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 of states again at the moment our operation you cannot define it as an invasion or job is easy we can open the doors and 2600000 refugees we will send them all back to you. operation pace bring is aimed at fighting kurdish forces and isis in syria it will extend turkey's existing buffer zone in the country and plans to evict kurdish fighters from the area a group turkey deems to be terrorists and for them was to return millions of syrian refugees from turkey back home we discussed the operation with the turkish president spoke 1st. we are not interested in changing demographics in north syria or occupying any part of syria we want to establish this safe zone for sita far as citizens and also for the syrian refugees and the local people living in that part of syria it's in tune with the international law un charter article

51 and our fight against terrorism if you are attacked from another country and that country doesn't take care of that terrorist threat then you are entitled to support yourself any country cares about the border security i mean you ask 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 qaeda or a diversion along the american mexican border just because al qaeda they are fighting against drug cartels you cannot fight one terrorist organization with another one the same goes true for russia or european countries if they feel that there is a threat to their national security from the border of course they are entitled to take action. the 1st phase of the operation began with air strikes on the 2 kurdish controlled border towns of ras al-ain and tel aviv ad 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 of the ground offensive thousands of civilians are fleeing the area and 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 really this is an occupation we are a peaceful people we live calmly work to our own business it is a crime here look here on the bus real to the people here look at this car you see you soldiers there their children are 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. the offensive follows president donald trump there's asian to withdraw u.s. troops from the region and is laid to stay pretty defended the move saying the kurds did not help the united states during the 2nd world war. 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 normandy as an example american presidents have used the kurds both in iraq and syria and so on for the political road games and then

lost interest i think it was president trump is trying to square the circle of agreeing to let president who are 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 enormous everyone even on the turkish side 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 you can pressure on turkey but this is 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. the

u.s. t.v. star ellen the generous has been forced to defend her friendship with former president george w. bush details on that and more after the break. when normally gets manufactured sentenced to public will. when the ruling classes protect themselves. in the final. week nor middle of the room.

talk about one of the worst cases of predatory banks stirrers defrauding an m.p. using the poor insect that i've seen in a couple years you know we've introduced you to many instances of bankers preying on folks and this is this is really happening. welcome back some people have expressed outrage after top u.s. comedian ellen generous was filmed sitting next to george w. bush many claim the former president is a war criminal even call for him to be brought to justice but it seems radically different political views is no barrier to friendship as long as you insult current leader donald trump but expects. eleana 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 iraq 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 do you consider that is 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 twisted 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 he would move me so come on republicans call on trump save democracy what's remarkable about president bush's and alan degenerates friendship is that it's remarkable in today's polarized society great example you don't have to share the same use 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 into nativism. forgotten the dynamism that immigration is always brought

to america torture illegal wars bombing civilians these things just aren't 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 as 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. britain's former chief spy says private sector internet firms possess more personal data then the state intelligence agency and david goldman's claims that they pose a threat to democracy. the big revelation over the last couple of years has been not about government intelligence agencies it's been about the private sector it's about the internet companies knowing more about me you everyone in the whole than any intelligence agency ever could or should know about us this is truly dangerous

i think it's a major threat to democracy and it's uncontrollable. it also says that the work of spy agencies is strictly regulated 12 private sector firms are other priorities he gives the scandal surrounding cambridge analytic as an example. the cambridge analytical scandal the way in which our personal data which is freely given in return for having an internet free at the point of use so we can do our searches and so on that information is monetized it is sold. in march 2018 a whistleblower a veiled cambridge analytic and a political consulting firm harvested the personal data of up to 87000000 facebook users without their consent this was used to target a political ad campaign in the scandal came a journalistic a fold it is a firm facebook was fined $5000000000.00 facebook boss mark zuckerberg has apologized several times. because kids are the founder of encrypted internet service unseen says that people are being exploited online. i'm not convinced

there's any difference between this between the social media companies and the intelligence agencies they're basically the same thing so as soon as you put something in electronically then the question is who has control over the data social media companies were funded by intelligence agencies that's what that was the deal the deal was we'll give you this money and technology to build your business and you give us the data so when you when they collect your information it's going right to this right to the security agencies in some fashion and it's also going a lot of other places to advertisers and other people who may or may not protect that data what they've done is they've basically turned every person into a spy against themselves everyone on earth is in the system it's a it's basically a threat matrix of what kind of threat to these people represent to whomever and they can just dial it up and down and they just watch your e-mails if you make some offhanded comment who knows maybe you'll end up on one of those trains like they have in china where they hold off the waiters you know they're in control of the

companies themselves i'm not even sure that they're really in control of anything i think that they're taking orders. ok you're not international thanks for staying with us a saving plenty more on the way just over half an hour. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confront dacian let it be an arms race off and spearing dramatic development only posts really engage and resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful at very critical time to sit down and talk. if. you long only come to show was that sabean arts and students should remove the

sanctions and then talks would be possible because of unites this is refused to do so there is an increasing mistrust to working with martin states because of his arrival from the jews to do it so there was a real concern that if you're on goes to the negotiation unit assurance with you and art in the series and then do a martin stories again refuses to move to sign shows march the same. in north korea everything would be even worse than. in this community there are people who believe that it's ok. it's really hard there are no jobs and you see the kids asked eat and as a parent. i can come up with lots of arguments and there's

a lot of conflict in the game between the teams close to the conflict i would say over balls around money and most of them money is made. close one on each of those he knows each other is good because the state of california alone makes $6000000000.00 a year of prison complex just to get some point in your life where. you don't care and one of my hair is a monster so your hair might anything. welcome to the alex salmond sure we continue our series on homelessness one of the issues pushed into the political shadows by the all encompassing brix it to beat today is

officially marked as well told with misty undertow drives against a background of record figures for rough sleeping in london and of record deaths of polish people across england and wales last week we focused on the practical action being taken by those on the front line of the battle against poverty and homelessness when alex visited brixton soup kitchen we've got clients who have been when we were up with us from the beginning i'm not there volunteering with us because they want to give back they want to give back that support they got when they needed it today we talk to someone who's taken one of london's iconic images of red buses i'm apply them to come back to london shame of those excluded from the global cities prosperity and wealth we're looking a really holistic approach alex so we've got a bus for eating sleeping learning and wellbeing you know so we're slightly different to most not shelters or day centers we're saying to these guys come down his your bank has your storage we've got you for an extended period of time and

lift off and have a shower get cleaned up and then right let's get you back on your feet. i do speak to some of the famous backers who are putting their shoulders to the wheel can we celebrity supporters make a real difference which it matters and i think the thing what dunn is doing with buses for the homeless is making little poles with in london buses and that not only are they giving some people so much live they're also bringing in people to to in a rehabilitate them into society again but 1st your reaction to last week's show len says great respect for the charities helping the homeless i so wish they weren't needed universal credit to has a lot to answer for eleanor says universal credit is set up to set you up to feel gary spent says the u.k. is the 5th largest economy so a soup kitchen shouldn't be needed people should be housed in unused houses it is immortal that anyone is left homeless henry says they may have

a moral duty but have they got the political will to end sanctions and universal credit and tackle high rents in the private sector build more affordable homes he says and finally living says could be any one of us don't kid yourself these guys and girls did not wake up one morning and say yahoo i'm going to live on the street the london red bus along with bobby's helmet and the tide of london as one of the capital cities create icons fitting therefore that this same image should be applied to tackling london's head in shame the fact that in this prosperous global city rough sleeping and death of the homeless are more slightly rising it is not in doubt that there is public support for action on the scandal otherwise it wouldn't be the public financial support for the well known charities such a shelter crisis and the big issue however today we focus on specific practical action in the battle against homelessness and one of the richest cities in the

world alex big sedan atkins and jason armstrong of buses for homeless. so the americans tell us who gave you the idea of buses for homeless you know sort of being building buses and coaches for the last 5 or 6 years now and one day i walked into the yard and there was a 68 year old gentleman who was a close friend of mine who was actually sleeping rough under way you put your luggage in a coach now that broke my heart so literally that day we went out we brought him a bus took it back to the yard and kitted out with him and his 3 kids his dogs lived in for 2 years he had 3 dogs so he couldn't get into social housing and honestly seeing somebody like that who had given me a lot of help and support you know the logical thing was to help ford and make a difference. really big steps forward.
